OPPO Reno4 Z 5G Specifications, Tests and Review

Design of OPPO Reno4 Z 5G has dimensions of 163.8 mm × 75.5 mm × 8.1 mm and weight of 184 g.

The screen size reaches 6.57" inches. With a large display, phone offers a great experience for watching videos, playing games and reading. The best phones today are 6.5'' or more. They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. The disadvantage of LCD displays is the relatively lower color contrast displayed, as the technology cannot display absolute black well. Also due to the higher power consumption, LCD displays are no longer as common in phones. Even so, some manufacturers still equip their phones with LCD technology. However, modern smartphones are already using OLED technology. The advantage of LCD phones is that they tend to be cheaper to build than OLED technology.

Display Resolution of OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is 2400 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. If you want a perfect picture, focus on pixel density in addition to resolution. This number indicates how sharp the image will be. Best phones today have a display fineness of 450 ppi or higher, but the today´s average is around 350-400 ppi. That should be enough for you to enjoy a fine and sharp image. This model has a pixel density of 401 ppi.

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. This value indicates how many times per second display shows new information. Previously, 60 Hz was considered the standard, but today the average frequency for mid-range phones is more like 90 Hz. Modern phones now reach frequencies of around 120 Hz and above. Higher frequencies mean a better user experience when browsing the internet and especially when playing games.

The processor type of the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G. The number of processor cores is 8. It is a number of cores that plays an important role in evaluating the performance of phone as it is responsible for computing operations. Smartphones already commonly have a core count of around 4 to 8. Multi-core processors can perform better and reduce the processing time of a request to a minimum, which is reflected in the responsiveness of the phone, e.g. in the speed of opening applications. OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is provided with processor´s frequency of 2 GHz. Normally today you will find this value between 1.8 and 2.8 GHz, and the higher the number, the faster the response of the phone. The processor frequency will thus be one of the important parameters if you are looking for a phone capable of managing several requests at once without major problems.

The processor also includes the graphics accelerator Mali-G57 MC4.

The phone is provided with an internal memory of 128 GB. Internal storage capacity is often a key parameter, as it determines how many files, photos, apps and more your phone can store. If you expect to store low thousands of photos, some songs, few movies or games on your phone, then you can easily get by with a medium memory size. Phones with this size of memory also has the advantage of a lower purchase price. If you don't plan to use your phone for 4K video creation and storage, using hundreds of apps etc. then you should feel free to go with this memory size. Fortunately, manufacturers nowadays think of all users and therefore offer phone models with different memory sizes so that everyone can choose what suits them.

Operating memory significantly affects the performance of the entire phone. OPPO Reno4 Z 5G has an operating memory of LPDDR4X SDRAM - 8 GB. Phones with less than 4 GB of RAM are better suited for undemanding users who use phone more for basic needs and some essential applications only. But if you are a heavy user, reach for at least 6 to 8 GB of RAM, which is the standard today, or 12 GB for the really demanding ones.

The rear camera of the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is equipped with 4 lenses. A larger number of lenses usually results in better quality photo, as each lens is designed differently: usually as a macro lens, telephoto lens or wide-angle lens. Macro lens is used for great close-ups, telephoto lens is designed for capturing objects in the distance as it often has an optical zoom, and wide-angle lens will take great landscape photos where you need a larger field of view. A high resolution lens alone does not necessarily mean high quality photos. The main lens in this has a resolution of 48 Megapixel. However, if you are looking for perfect photos, in addition to resolution, don't forget to focus on at other parameters such as lens aperture or pixel size. Pixel size is 0.8 μm. Average value is typically around 0.8 μm to 1.8 μm on better mobile phones, and again, the higher the number, the higher the photo quality.

The size of the camera's sensor also influences the final quality of the photos. OPPO Reno4 Z 5G´s main lens is designed with a sensor size of 1/2". The higher the value after the slash, the higher the resulting photo quality. Luminance is one of the main factors determining the quality of a photograph. Commonly today, this value ranges between F/1.8 and F/2.2. However, best photomobiles have an aperture of up to F/1.2. Value indicates how much light passes through the sensor and the lower it is, the better the quality of the photos. Main lens here is equipped with F/1.7.

Second camera
The second lens of rear camera is designed as Ultra wide-angle lens. The field of view of second lens reaches 119 degree(s). The resolution reaches size of 8 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.12 μm. Furthermore, aperture of second lens reaches size of F/2.2.

Third camera
The resolution of third lens is then 2 Megapixel. The pixel size that significantly affects quality of photo is 1.75 μm. Finally, the lens also features a lens aperture of F/2.4.

Fourth camera
The resolution of fourth lens is 2 Megapixel. The pixel size is 1.75 μm. Lens aperture value then reaches F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is equipped with 2 lenses, with each lens having a different function when taking pictures. The resolution of main lens reaches 16 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is not the only factor affecting the quality of the front camera photo. The pixel size itself is 1 μm. The aperture of main lens is F/2.0.

Second front camera
You won't see a second front lens on most smartphones yet. Having more than one front lens in OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is thus rather exceptional in world of phones. The resolution of second front lens reaches 2 Megapixel. The lens aperture is designed to F/2.4.

The battery size of OPPO Reno4 Z 5G is 4000 mAh. Nevertheless, battery capacity is not the only factor that affects the phone's battery life. For example - the size of the display, the performance of the processor, the use of data functions and, of course, the intensity of use of phone in general all have a significant impact on battery life. Standard for most smartphones today is a battery capacity of around 4500 to 5000 mAH. Phones with this battery size usually guarantee a phone life of at least 1 day. Older or cheaper smartphone models can then reach battery capacities typically around 2500 mAH and below. With this capacity, you may find that if you use your phone heavily, you may need to recharge your phone during the day.

OPPO Reno4 Z 5G supports 5G. 4G connectivity is still common today, although the latest phones already have 5G connectivity. 3G connectivity is now more of a thing of past and can only be found on older models. The phone's operating system is ColorOS 7.1 (based on Android 10).

The NFC function will please all fans of contactless mobile payments. In addition, you can also use function in the context of connectivity, for example, to unlock doors or load menus in restaurants. Bluetooth 5.1 makes it easy to connect your phone to other wireless devices such as headphones, speakers, TV or tablet and more.
