It's undeniable that smartphones in the OPPO Reno series always possess a certain allure right from their debut. And this time is no exception as the duo of OPPO Reno6 5G and OPPO Reno6 Z 5G have just been officially unveiled, capturing the spotlight.
Compared to Reno6 Z 5G, Reno6 5G comes at a slightly higher price point. So, does this smartphone offer any 'value for money' upgrades, what sets it apart from Reno6 Z? Let's follow this article to find out!
First up is the design: A Perfect Transformation

While Reno6 Z 5G remains faithful to the familiar rounded design, Reno6 5G has been given a fresh new look by OPPO with its squared-off design, reminiscent of the iPhone 12. It's evident that Reno6 5G is the first smartphone favored by OPPO to use this new and unique design.
Not stopping there, Reno6 5G also impresses with its metal body construction, not only enhancing aesthetics but also making the grip feel more comfortable. This smartphone also boasts a super slim and lightweight design with an impressive thickness of only 7.59 mm and a weight of 182 grams.

Another point that I'm sure beauty enthusiasts won't overlook is the Reno Glow back panel made of glass combined with a beautiful gradient effect. Moreover, this smartphone is also available in 2 color options: Mysterious Black for those who prefer minimalism and Multicolor Silver for those who love a bit of sparkle.

Camera setups are quite similar, but Reno6 5G shines brighter thanks to its video feature

Both versions feature the same camera system including a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 32 MP selfie camera.
The duo still inherits the high-quality photography features from the OPPO Reno5, but now both are upgraded with outstanding portrait photography features, specifically the Bokeh Flare feature. If you're a photography enthusiast, this feature will be your ultimate creative tool.
For Reno6 5G, you'll experience the Bokeh Flare portrait video feature along with AI effects.Additionally, the device is equipped with a color temperature sensor promising beautiful footage along with precise color reproduction through white balance adjustments.
A 90 Hz refresh rate display will be a significant advantage

Reno6 5G features a Full HD+ 6.43-inch AMOLED display. The major difference compared to Reno6 Z 5G lies in the refresh rate; Reno6 5G is equipped with a luxurious 90 Hz refresh rate display by OPPO.
The experience of navigating and viewing content on this smartphone is nothing short of exceptional. Not only does it offer stunning display quality, but actions like swiping, tapping, scrolling, or switching tabs on the screen happen in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, Reno6 5G is equipped with an in-display optical fingerprint sensor. I was pleasantly surprised by how fast the unlocking speed of the device is.
Furthermore, despite both versions having the same dimensions, thanks to the impressively flat bezels on the sides and the flat top edge, Reno6 optimizes display space better than Reno6 Z 5G.
More Powerful Performance, Faster Charging

While Reno6 Z 5G impresses with its performance using the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset, Reno6 5G surprises even more with the Dimensity 900 5G processor. It's safe to say that Reno6 5G offers significantly superior performance compared to Reno6 Z 5G.
Moreover, Reno6 5G is the first smartphone on the market to feature the latest MediaTek integrated 5G SoC. Paired with a robust 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage, Reno6 5G also introduces another specialty with the new ColorOS - the RAM expansion technology up to 5 GB.

Talking about fast charging without mentioning Reno6 5G would be a major omission. While Reno6 Z 5G comes with a 4,310mAh battery and 30W fast charging, Reno6 5G integrates the impressive SuperVOOC 2.0 65W ultra-fast charging technology.
With its 65W fast charging technology, Reno6 5G becomes one of the fastest-charging smartphones today. You only need a mere 28 minutes to fully charge the battery and use it throughout the day.
