A High-Performance Smartphone

Operating System

With the newly upgraded OS and UI, you will have a unique, memorable experience that will make you fall in love and wholly connect to your Oppo Reno 10 Pro.

Processing Unit

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G (SDM778G 5G Mobile Platform) is a fast mid-range ARM-based SoC largely found on Android tablets and smartphones. It integrates eight cores (octa-core) divided into two clusters. A fast performance cluster with four cores based on the ARM Cortex-A78 architecture with up to 2.4 GHz and a power efficiency cluster with four small ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. Depending on the workload only single clusters or all cores can run at different clock speeds. Thanks to the new Cortex-A78 cores, the CPU performance increases by up to 40% compared to the old Snapdragon 768G according.

Memory Space

Oppo is installed with sufficient RAM and ROM to enable optimal smartphone use. Your Oppo Model can either be:

• 256GB internal memory, 12GB RAM

The phone uses UFS 3.1 technology, which is essential in optimizing memory space. The more RAM a phone has, the snappier its performance when switching between applications. Also, with more RAM, you can access and use applications that use much memory without adverse implications. This is true for Reno 10 Pro, whose 12GB RAM is remarkable. It allows it to run smoothly even when multiple applications open. Whereas other phones may stutter when running heavy applications such as heavy-setting games, and video editors, the Oppo phone plays robustly due to its high RAM specifications.

The phone’s internal memory space specifications are commendable and sufficient. With up to 256GB of internal memory, such space is enough for storing hundreds of multimedia files and heavy documents without much of a problem. Rather than walking with a USB flash disk or HDD, you can use the smartphone’s internal storage to carry the needed files. The phone does not support additional memory, with no MicroSD slot.

Network and Connectivity

• Increased bandwidth compared to 4G-enabled smartphone
• Fast phone downloads over the network of movies, as well as enormous files and applications

• Augmented Reality is now made even more enjoyable with better user experience on mobile; thank you to 5G connectivity which enables faster connection, making objects richer and more immersive. You will enjoy AR games like Harry Potter and Pokémon on the Reno 10.

Efficient Communication Systems

You can match your handset to Wi-Fi Direct products, get connected, and go to work or play. It is dual-band and works well within the 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz frequency bandwidth. The phone supports NFC, which allows wireless data transmission over shorter distances using radio waves.
