About the Oppo Reno5 5G

The Reno5 5G was Oppo's attempt to make a flagship-feeling phone without flagship weight or flagship compromise, and it largely succeeded. At around 172g and just under 8mm thick it is genuinely slim by modern standards, which is increasingly rare now that most phones have crept past 200g. The Snapdragon 765G is an upper mid-range chip rather than a top-tier one, so it handles everyday apps and most games comfortably but will not match a Snapdragon 888 device under sustained load. Where it punches above its weight is charging: 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 refills the dual-cell battery in a fraction of the time most rivals need, which changes how you use the phone day to day because a short top-up genuinely restores hours of use. The 6.4-inch AMOLED runs at 90Hz, a sensible middle ground that keeps scrolling smooth without draining the battery. The camera is a 64MP-led four-lens setup, though only the main and ultrawide sensors do meaningful work, and the 2MP macro and mono lenses are largely filler. Software support ended long ago, so treat it as a well-built budget option rather than a phone to keep for years.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Oppo Reno5 5G worth buying?
It is worth considering second-hand if you value a slim, light body and very fast 65W charging over raw processing power. The Snapdragon 765G remains capable for everyday apps, social media and streaming, though it is well behind current chips for demanding games. Its software support window has closed, so buy it as a short to medium-term phone rather than a long-term one.
How fast does the Oppo Reno5 5G charge?
It supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging, which is far quicker than most phones of its generation and still competitive today. The dual-cell battery design is what allows those speeds, splitting the charge across two cells to reduce heat. In practice a short spell on the charger returns a large chunk of a day's use.
Is the Oppo Reno5 5G camera good?
The 64MP main camera is solid in daylight and the 8MP ultrawide is useful for landscapes and group shots, but the 2MP macro and 2MP mono lenses add very little. The 32MP front camera is a strong point and produces detailed selfies. Low-light performance is reasonable rather than exceptional, which is typical for a Snapdragon 765G phone.
Does the Oppo Reno5 5G have expandable storage?
No, there is no microSD card slot, so you are limited to the 128GB of internal storage it ships with alongside 8GB of RAM. That is enough for most people, but heavy video shooters will need to manage space or rely on cloud storage. Check the exact configuration when buying, as capacities varied by market.
What Android version does the Oppo Reno5 5G run?
It shipped with ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11. Oppo's update commitment for mid-range phones of this era was short, and the Reno5 5G is now past the end of both its Android version and security patch support. If ongoing security updates are important to you, a newer handset is the safer choice.
Should I get the Oppo Reno5 5G or the Oppo Find X3 Neo?
The Find X3 Neo is the significantly more powerful phone, using the flagship Snapdragon 865 rather than the mid-range Snapdragon 765G, and adding a 50MP main sensor with optical stabilisation plus a dedicated 13MP telephoto the Reno5 5G lacks. Both charge at 65W and share a 90Hz AMOLED, so the everyday feel is similar. Choose the Reno5 5G if you want the lighter, slimmer handset, or the Find X3 Neo for performance and zoom.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
