Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G woos the TikTok crowd with its AI Portrait Video features
Note: This article was first published on 19 August 2021.
The newly launched Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G piles on video-friendly features in excess, hoping to woo TikTok content creators that want to create their shorts with ease and flair.
New to the mid-range Reno series are a host of videography features, including:
Bokeh Flare Portrait Video: real-time video processing that offers built-in, dream-like bokeh light spots in the background of your clip, while the subject stays in-focus, well-lit, and natural. This feature works on both front and rear cameras and can be applied with just one tap.
AI Highlight Video: videography is optimised automatically based on ambient light - making videos bright and vivid no matter the lighting condition (shooting at night, strong backlight during the day, etc.). Oppo said its night videography had improved its clarity by 40.2% when compared to the Reno5 Pro.
Focus Tracking: the Reno6 Pro 5G automatically tracks main subjects during video recording, keeping them in focus no matter how the subject moves.
Supporting all its imaging capabilities is an AI quad-camera setup on the rear (64MP main, 8MP wide-angle, 2MP macro, 2MP mono) and a front-facing 32MP selfie camera.
Adding to the Oppo Reno6 Pro 5G’s pack of features is Flash Snapshot, a photography enhancement that lets users take clear shots for fast-moving subjects, and post-production editing tools like AI Palette.
As a smartphone, the Reno6 Pro 5G runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset - the flagship 2021 mobile processor offered by this chipmaker. Using Dimensity 1200 also confers built-in 5G network support for the device, hence the phone’s name.
The front is a 6.5-inch 3D Curved Display - AMOLED panel at FHD+ (2,400 × 1,080 pixels resolution) with a fast 90Hz refresh rate and even faster 180Hz touch sampling rate. In addition, the display covers 97% NTSC / 100% DPI-P3 colour gamut, and offers a maximum brightness of 1,100-nits. These panel specs are sufficient at faithfully displaying social media content, both TikTok and beyond.
Oppo also ensured that the Reno6 Pro 5G has X-axis linear motors and 4D vibration to heighten tactile feedback during gaming with such a responsive panel.
The phone has a 4,500mAh battery and support for 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 (Oppo’s proprietary fast-charging technology) to last through the day.
