The Oppo Reno4 Z 5G known in some markets as the Oppo A92s.
It comes in a stacked retail box with an 18W charger, USB cable, proper 3.5mm earbuds and a complimentary case - not bad for just under €300.
the Reno4 Z 5G has four cameras - a 48MP main camera, 8MP ultrawide unit and a pair of 2MP sensors for macro and depth. The front holds a 16MP main selfie camera and 2MP depth sensor to help with portraits. Video from the rear main camera maxes out at 4K while selfie video goes up to 1080p.
Oppo Reno4 Z 5G Displays:
The display on the Oppo Reno4 Z 5G has good brightness and contrast and nicely saturated colors. Naturally it isn't as good as the OLED panels on the Reno4 and Reno4 Pro, but just like those the Reno4 Z 5G has a fast refresh rate. In fact the 6.57-inch screen of the Z goes up to 120Hz - higher than the 90Hz panels on those Reno4 Pro.
The Dimensity 800 chipset comes in a single configuration with 8GB of RAM. The chipset is comparable to a Snapdragon 765G and brings support for 5G, which in this case is only of the Sub-6 variety.
The Oppo Reno4 Z 5G isn't as well made as the Reno4 Pro 5G and uses a plastic frame instead of metal. The rear panel also doesn't have that textured finish of its more expensive counterpart, but it is frosted and looks a lovely purplish hue when light hits it from certain angles. But we'd say that the Reno4 Z 5G feels great in-hand.
Oppo Reno4 Z 5G Design:
Combining a 6.57-inch screen size and 1080 x 2400 resolution, the first thing you’ll notice about the Reno 4 Z is its bright, smooth display.
Despite the fact it’s the most entry-level phone in the line, the 4 Z packs the highest screen refresh rate of the three. The Reno 4 Pro’s screen is 90Hz, while the vanilla Reno 4 sports an old school 60Hz display. There’s a reason for this madness the display technology. The pricier Reno screens are AMOLEDs, while the more affordable 4 Z packs an IPS panel. In turn, blacks aren’t as deep on the 4 Z, colors aren’t as zingy and pictures just look a little more muted.
Despite these IPS traits though, the Reno 4Z still competes at its price, with ample brightness, responsive interaction, and a clear picture, not to mention great viewing angles.
Measuring 8.1mm thick and weighing 184g, Oppo’s 4Z’s size is about on-par with an iPhone 11 Pro Max in terms of surface area — definitely not a small phone, however, it’s much lighter. The lightweight body is made of plastic around the sides, plastic around the back and a Gorilla Glass 3 screen. In addition to not feeling particularly expensive, the Reno4 Z is a total fingerprint magnet, so brace yourself for smudges aplenty if you pick one up.
As far as ports and highlights go, there’s a mono-speaker at the base alongside a USB-C port and a headphone jack. The power button, which is nuzzled into the phone’s right side is also a fingerprint scanner, and the SIM tray and volume buttons are on the left of the Reno4 Z.
Oppo Reno4 Z 5G Cameras:
The Oppo Reno4 Z’s cameras are slightly different in the east and west. Originally launching for Chinese markets, the Reno 4 Z sports a tertiary macro camera in China, however Oppo’s ditched this for the global version, swapping it for a black and white camera (which you can’t independently access). In turn, calling this a quad-camera smartphone feels like a stretch, given only two of the sensors actually take pictures.
On the plus side though, the Reno 4 Z’s main sensor is an old faithful camera module, the Sony IMX 586, matched with a 26mm wide-angle, f/1.7 aperture lens complete with phase detection autofocus. There’s also an 8MP ultrawide camera, which sports an f/2.2 aperture lens and a 119˚ field of view.
With a front camera resolution of 16 MP and an f/2.4 aperture, the Reno 4 Z shoots crisp selfies complete with portrait effects, helped along by a secondary depth sensor.
Shooting modes beyond Photo and Video include Expert (manual mode), Night, Panoramic, Portrait, Slow-motion, and Time-lapse.
