The OPPO Reno 5 series are powered by 4300mAh batteries with superVOOC 2.0 fast charging – 65W fast wired charging over USB-C port. Reverse charging is also supported.
The charging port is also the headphone jack, so we expect Type-C headphones in the box.
OPPO Reno 5 Pro comes with NFC and WiFi 6 as opposed to WiFi 5 and no NFC on the regular Reno 5.
Both phones are dual SIM with the first slot supporting 5G. Sadly, there are no slots for extrernal microSD cards.
We have an in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock for biometrics.
