Oppo Reno 6 Features

The Oppo Reno 6 has a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout and a 90Hz refresh rate. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage.

It runs on Android 11-based ColorOS 11 custom skin on top and packs a 4,300 mAh battery with 65W fast-charging support. The Reno 6 has a triple camera setup at the back that includes a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies, the device sports a 32MP front-facing camera.

Oppo Reno 6: What We Think

The Oppo Reno 6 price starts at CNY 2,799 (around Rs. 31,800) which makes us believe that the Indian variant will fall somewhere around Rs. 30,000. Since there is no official word on this, we expect to take this with a pinch of salt. We can say the upcoming Reno 6 with a great camera and hardware features can be a great rival for smartphones like the Realme X7 Max 5G and the iQOO 7.
