Performance and Functionality
At the core of Reno5 Z 5G is OPPO’s steadfast focus on human-centric innovation. The smartphone’s 360° Antenna 3.0 is optimised to hold a signal no matter how the user grips the Reno5 Z 5G, whether gaming in landscape mode or checking emails in portrait mode.

Additionally, Super Night Standby Mode reduces the smartphone’s power consumption to 1.78% of the battery at night when the phone is not in use.
To improve performance further, OPPO incorporated System Performance Optimiser into Reno5 Z 5G which makes the smartphone faster and functional for longer without lagging. More than ten optimisations are implemented into the phone to improve its performance in the background to achieve System Performance Optimiser.
Sleek Design
It’s not just sleek performance that is achieved with Reno5 Z 5G, it’s also a sleek design that is a “Salute to Speed”. It is an ultra-thin phone that sports dimensions of 7.8mm thickness, 73.4mm width and 160.1mm length, and is also ultra-light, weighing about 173g.
Adding to its aesthetic design is the One-Piece Quad Camera that is built into the rear of the Reno5 Z 5G. In line with the design concept, all four cameras are covered by a single piece of Gorilla Glass 5 which keeps it elegant and smooth. Cutting edge etching technology adds texture to the glass surface, creating a sense of depth which shimmers under different lighting to add an elegant and classy look.
The brilliant 6.43″ (16.3cm) Punch-Hole Display has a screen-to-body ratio of 90.8% thanks to the 3.7mm mini punch-hole design. Streaming videos and playing games on the Reno5 Z 5G is offered to uses in Full HD on the 2400 x 1080 FHD+ Super AMOLED display that is also equipped with In-Display Fingerprint 3.0 for fast and accurate biometric unlock.
Quad Camera
OPPO Reno5 Z 5G excels with its back-facing 48MP Quad Camera for capturing brilliant and beautiful portrait shots with ease that puts this phone truly “Ahead in Photography.” The cameras include a 48MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP portrait mono camera and a 2MP macro mono Camera. In combination, these four cameras allow users to be video and photography experts with little effort.
A brand new Dual-view Video enables both the front and rear cameras to work simultaneously, effortlessly stitching the shooter and the subject in the same video frame – ideal for vloggers who always want to remain in action. Other features include HDR Video which delivers clearer more balanced lighting in situations where the light contrast is high, Focus Lock so the recording automatically follows the subject of the video even when the camera has significant movement, and Ultra Night Video which leverages proprietary algorithms that ensure more dynamic nighttime videos and photos.
The Reno5 Z 5G also establishes itself as the photography expert in any scenario with AI-powered features that allow users to master every single moment.
New features like AI Scene Enhancement 2.0, Dynamic Bokeh, and Night Plus work together to automatically capture more clear, beautiful photos and videos even when light contrasts and low light situations can be challenging. Just as useful are continued features that have proven indispensable like AI Night Flare Portrait, AI Color Portrait, AI Beautification 2.0, Ultra Steady Video, and 4K Video all add to the ease with which users can capture expert looking images and videos.
Faster and Immersive Gaming Experience
As with every generation of the Reno Series, there is a clear focus on balancing work and play, and it’s no different with Reno5 Z 5G.
The new Reno5 Z 5G truly shines when it comes to gaming, thanks to innovative hardware and exclusive software powered by the ColorOS 11.1 that is designed to deliver a more immersive and fluid gaming experience. Gamer Mode frees gamers from unwanted distraction by temporarily disabling alarms, notifications, incoming calls, gesture controls. Also, Quick Startup allows users to return to a game quickly with one tap within 24 hours after exiting the game without waiting for minute-long loading times and videos. Finally, Game Floating Window allows users to keep a game running in a floating window so they can monitor their game and return to it anytime.
Faster and Efficient Workflow
Enabling users to get the most out of the powerful hardware foundation, Reno5 Z 5G comes installed with OPPO’s ColorOS 11.1. It provides rich UI customisation, greater efficiency, unparalleled smoothness, and strengthened privacy sought by OPPO users. Reno5 Z 5G users can design their own always-on display and dark-mode to truly make the phone their own. Further innovative features such as FlexDrop and Three-finger Translate with Google Lens significantly increase productivity.
For young consumers who are inspired to #Upgrade_theRENOway, the Reno5 Z 5G smartphone is available in the UAE in two colour settings, Fluid Black – a classic and stylish black featuring a gradient that appears to change from light to dark, and Cosmo Blue – offering a matte look but with a distinctively gradience of blue and purple.
Offered with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, the Reno5 Z 5G is now available at major retailers and e-commerce platforms in the UAE, at a retail price of AED 1,499. For more information, visit www.oppo.com/ae.
