Oppo Reno 4 Pro - Still the best mid-ranged smartphone camera? By ProductNation

Hey guys welcome back to pro nation and in this video we're going to be taking a look at the Oppo Renault 4 pro and talk about why this may be one of the best mid-range smartphones in the market right now. So, let's get started. This phone was released about three months ago here in Malaysia, so this is more of a three months later review, as well as we're talking about whether this is one of the best mid-range smartphones now opposites. The major changes they've made, and the improvements are gonna, be in the camera itself that added a bunch of new features. So in this video we're going to be exploring all those new changes and trying out the camera to the max potential on this phone. As always, let's start by talking about the overall build and quality of this smartphone.

One thing you notice right away is that it's really light like incredibly light, especially compared to recent phones. This thing is like super featherlight. You can just hold it around, and you don't feel the weight to it almost feels like there's no battery even inside 4 000 William hour battery snapdragon 720 g processor. You also have a fingerprint sensor that is under the display that works lightning fast. It overall unlocks your phone pretty quickly.

You have a 6.5 inch super AMOLED display the colors are vibrant, very vivid, pretty easy to see in broad daylight because of that super AMOLED and overall, using this feels very nice for consuming content. The max refresher that this goes up to is obviously going to be 90 hertz and that's what we have set it to 90 hertz for media consumption and social media usage is really great, very smooth and overall feel to it with the colors is really great. The fact that it's AMOLED is really awesome too, because you get that always on display support as well, and it's pretty visible to see in terms of connectivity. You have a type c as well as the headphone jack still present on this. We tried out some gaming on this and that processor is really capable of handling gaming.

As you can see, it is not suffering from any lag or stutter. The 720 g can handle gaming pretty well. We've seen this from past phones playing games like Call of Duty mobile among us, obviously, because it's trending right now we tried all this kind of games, and they had no issues whatsoever. Gaming on this is going to feel really smooth and there's just generally no problems when gaming on this, let's get to the actual bulk of the testing that we did, which is in the camera modules itself. This is the main change that we've seen from the previous generation.

With a lot of additions, you have a 48 megapixel main shooter that can downscale to 12 megapixels, eight megapixels ultrawide, two megapixel macro lens, as well as two megapixel mono lens. Now, let's get into the camera performance all right, so this is now the front camera video recording test with the operand 4 pro we're doing 1080p at 30fps, I'm casually walking around the sound that you're hearing is from the microphone as well. As you can see, there is no stabilization when I'm walking there's no optical image, stabilization, neither digital, and if I walk around there's a little of camera shake and, as you can see, the highlights are kind of overexposed in the background. Let's activate the super, steady mode for the front camera all right, so now, activating the super, steady mode, you guys can see it cropped in the image a little, but it made it a lot more stable. Now, if I'm walking around and doing the same exact thing that I did in the previous video, you can see that there's a lot more stabilization here.

It looks a lot smoother me walking around there are less shakes and less movement. Another thing that Oppo has been pushing really heavily on is the color mode for the camera right now we're using the AI color portrait for the front camera, and you can see everything in the background has been turned to black and white, except for me because I'm the subject, so the AI technology can recognize, human beings, add color to them, and everything else is going to be black and white and the way it does it is a very gradual fade in. So if I get out of frame and then get in frame, it'll gradually bring color to me rather than abruptly, and yes, it does have a full body application, so it'll work for the entire body rather than just the face and, as you can see when I do move around it kind of stays consistent with it doesn't really lose it. So the AI technology on this works pretty decent. I would say now you even get different color modes on this, where it can only activate certain colors.

In this case, we have only green showing up within the filter. You can also have only red or crimson show up, which is what we did here: only red subject showing up skin tones coffee, whatever is only going to show up, and also you have blue, which can be the only color that shows up. So this is a very stylized approach to it. If you want to create a very stylistic look, you can do that quite easily. With this it works with all zoom lenses.

So it's pretty great for that. For the back camera, here's a side-by-side test between 1080p and 4k. As you can see, 1080p looks very similar to 4k. The processing is done pretty well. We did an ultra-wide angle, walking test, as you can see when you're using the ultra-wide angle lens.

It is pretty wide there's a lot of distortion, unfortunately, and also a lot of camera shakes when you're using the ultrawide, no stabilization, you can switch on the stable mode within that there's pro and the regular. As you can see the stabilization kicks in here, and it works really, really well. I tried to create a vlog cinematic experience using this, and I took some footage using the phone itself. You can have your own color grade presets used within this I'm using the f6, 7 and 8 filters within these videos. As you can see, it has really nice color tones to it and the color recognition on this phone works really well.

Uh. Color grading can be done within the camera itself, which is really great for people who are trying to create videos on the go and don't really want to have to deal with color grade later. So, as you can see, I'm using two different filters here. This one is my favorite. By far the color grading on this looks really great, very hipster Instagram filter to it, and you can create vlogs very quick.

Now. These effects also do work with the front camera and, as you can see, it looks very color, graded, very YouTube, vlogger kind of look to it, and you can see the greens have been turned to a brownish. Tint looks pretty nice. Actually, if you want to make a quick vlog footage without color grading it by yourself, uh shooting with the f7 filter, looks pretty good. So I guess you could try it out.

Now, let's get to the image quality, you have different levels of zoom ultra-wide one x, and then you can go all the way up to 5x and zoom 5x loss of quality is there, but it's not as bad as some phones. We've seen it's all right, as mentioned earlier, it shoots at 48 megapixels, but you can be downscale to 12, but you can also fake 108 megapixels, like you, can see right here where it adds in additional detail by sharpening this doesn't look the best when you zoom in, but overall it adds in a bit of sharpness and detail. If that's what you want now that aside, the overall colors the vibrancy and the look to it was pretty decent with the back camera, no complaints whatsoever, as you can see it handles HDR and direct sunlight, even colors, really, really well, even the color mode, where you can have that AI color portrait works really well, especially when you see the skin tones, it doesn't really over saturate them. It looks pretty good overall image. Quality I say would be around an eight nine out of ten.

It looks perfect, even the dark mode. The night mode performance is perfect on this, almost in total darkness. It works really well, details are maintained, and it doesn't look too fake, which is very good. So all in all, it's a pretty good mid-range smartphone, definitely not the best. It's not going to be my daily driver as of now, but it's pretty good.

Overall we're also going to be doing a comparison with the mi 10 t pro 5g, which is a huge competition for this, so stay tuned. For that, overall, we looked at the performance of the camera, the gaming, the screen, the overall usability, and you guys, let us know in the comments what you think about the operand 4 pro really hope you enjoyed this video if you did make sure you hit that like button and do consider subscribing for more content.
