Oppo Reno 10

REVIEWS

Price: £399 from fave.co/3LOsiLF

There's a lot on offer here that used to be found only on manufacturers’ ‘pro’ phones, and it all sits behind a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that rivals many at the top of the market in all but resolution. And it costs just £399, a lot less than similar phones from the likes of Samsung and Google.

Its top camera lens – the main wide-angle camera with the 64Mp sensor behind it – is huge, sitting above the two other lenses like a strange hybrid of owl and Cyclops.

Elsewhere, it's a nice looking phone, with silver sides and a grey back that complement each other well. It's not too thick, not too big (inbuild makes you wonder why it doesn't come with an official IP rating, but that certification costs extra. Still, you best not dunk it.
