OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Edition 256GB

Without a doubt, cameras – both the front and rear ones – are the biggest talking point of the Reno 10x Zoom Edition. Starting with what acts as a neat party trick – the shark fin-style pop-up module features a 16-megapixel front-facing sensor. While we'll discuss the design implications and advantages in the next section, it's worth noting that you wouldn't have to wait for too long for clicking selfies as the mechanism is quite fast (not as quick as the normal pop-up module though).

If there's one smartphone that resulted in a lot of raised eyebrows as well as memes this year, it would be the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. In fact, the case designs and renders of the device that leaked before its launch were considered fake by most. I'm sure you must have guessed by now that I'm talking about the Shark Fin pop-up camera. Said to be inspired by a shark's fin, I've to say that the camera module does seem intriguing in real-life usage too — beyond being a great way to break the ice in front of strangers. 

Being a flagship, the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom comes packing powerful internals. It's fuelled by Qualcomm's most powerful SoC - Snapdragon 855, which works in tandem with 8GB of RAM (in the higher-end model). The SD855 chip is special in a lot of ways, as it comes with power-efficient 7nm FinFET fabrication process along with featuring a tri-cluster architecture to activate the cores as per the task that's being performed. And what does that mean for you? Simply put, you won't come across at any sort of lag irrespective of whatever you are doing on the device. Multitasking is instantaneous too as the phone jumps between apps quickly.
