Oppo has arrived and it’s hot on Huawei’s heels with the Reno 10x zoom, a sensational camera phone that ticks a lot of boxes, despite overbearing software.

If you can get past the fact the Reno 10X Zoom is a big phone that packs overbearing bloatware, you may well fall in love with it. The screen is gorgeous, the camera is best-in-class at under £700, it’s powerful and lasts for ages. Luckily, much of what we didn’t like about the UI can be dialled back, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants a great camera zoom, without Huawei P30 Pro prices.

OPPO's newest flagship smartphone, the Reno 10x Zoom , is finally here. It comes with a new and beautiful design and powerful specs which includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 chipset and triple rear cameras with impressive zoom range.

We give our #FTARecommended seal of approval to the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom edition for its stunning design, great battery life and versatile camera system. We love how smooth ColorOS is. It is also a head turner with its elegant design especially that rear camera system being so flushed at the back.

There's a lot to like about the Reno 10x Zoom. It looks good, has one of the most versatile camera systems on the planet, a cool-looking pop-up shark-fin camera, great battery life and software that is miles better than it was even two years ago.

Bezel-free screen makes an impact; Battery life is up there with the best; Versatile and good quality camera (wide; Standard; 10x zoom

Still a few software quirks; VOOC charging isn't Oppo's fastest; No wireless charging or dust/waterproofing; Quite a thick/chunky phone compared to rivals

Oppo Reno 10x Zoom comes across as an overall package with no major deal breakers. The stylish design will attract attention for sure, but camera performance is where the Reno 10x Zoom shines. The Reno 10x Zoom is among the few phones you will find with the new Snapdragon 855 processor.
