this is PocketNow and I'm Joshua Vergara what's going on everybody I'm coming to you from Zurich in Switzerland where they are having the launch of the Oppo Reno now actually have a chance to check out to the Oppo Reno for this morning right before the event so we're gonna walk around the immediate area here in Zurich maybe go downtown a little bit take some photos and then we see if I can do this kind of hands-on a little bit differently I'll give you my thoughts as I'm using the phone during this morning speaking of which I am including this clip in the general hands-on for pocket now but I just wanted to say that all the photos and videos that you're seeing in this hands-on are also being done in a real world camera test over on my channel so if you want to check out a video that is entirely made up of everything the Oppo Reno can do you can head over to my channel youtube.com slash right off the bat using this phone well we have a pretty high spec list you get all of the good internals I glued in the snapdragon 855 which I actually used in order to get a little bit of gaming done now quick caveat for this hands-on what I'm actually using here is the Chinese software edition of the phone so the operating system here is not going to be final software nor is it even going to be one that many of you would actually end up using if you get this funk outside of Asia but that said the color OS still looks pretty good so Xian this full HD plus display and the display itself even if it has that slightly lower resolution than some flagships it actually looks really awesome I was able to play a couple of videos on here checked out a little bit of YouTube using the web browser since I can't install YouTube the actual app on this phone but gaming has been a pretty fun experience on here already because it has those high specifications it has a cooling system and also has something called the game space where you can actually dump a lot of the memory and then overclock or rather put the phone into a performance mode so you can get even better performance out of your games a lot of what you might already like about oppa phones returns here there's a large battery in here just a smidge over 4,000 milliamp hours but then of course you have luke fast charging that's now in version 3.0 and you can top up the phone you quickly whenever you need power so if you're running out of juice you could just plug this into the charger that comes with the phone and you're able to get some power back real quick I have to say this is a pretty beautiful device class on glass design doesn't have a camera hump but that does mean that the phone is a bit thicker than you what you might expect after all you have the three cameras on the bag and depending on what version of the phone you end up getting you can have a 10 times optical zoom you can have a wide-angle lens but all of the opal Reno's of course have that pop up camera on the top I call it the peekaboo or as you saw at the beginning of this video it is the baby shark phone at least I thought that was a pretty funny reference to make for this phone but overall it feels like a pretty nice device it feels a lot like the Oppo find X which of course had its own pop up camera it's just a little bit bigger with a six point four or six point six inch display depending on the version you get once again that motorized front-facing camera also hides the earpiece and that earpiece kind of emanates from a tiny little slit that's at the very top so it's not like you're going to lose out on a call speaker when you're not using the camera or when that flap is not up finally made it down to the city centre ish we're right outside of zürich HB The Hub done topped bahnhof and we're taking a few pictures next to this body of water here's Lake I want to say it's a river maybe but we have some shots here that we can use the 10x zoom on and that's really the crux of this whole opera know this 10x zoom version you have a wide-angle lens you have a telephoto lens it's the periscope line that allows for up to six X optical zoom and then 10x hybrid serve so you can get pretty far with your zoom and it's something that we wanted to test out with the zurich map with the mountains around this area I mean after all we're in Switzerland but unfortunately they're a little bit far away so we have to make do with the architecture around us one thing that I feel is easy to forget about this phone after all you have that motorized camera you have all of the lenses on the rear all the capabilities and the camera app it allows for a number of different modes including slow-mo capture so there are a lot of options so you can really have some fun with the cameras here but one of the lenses actually the main lens is is the new Sony IMX 48 megapixel sensor so I did take a few 14 megapixel shot so you can see some of the greater detail you can get in there but yeah it's actually easy to forget about it because you have to go way into the settings to actually activate it but there's this tiny little nub here on the back center where you would normally find the fingerprint sensor the fingerprint sensor is in the display and it's a good it's a good working one so far I've only been able to use it for a little bit but it's still reliable to get into the operating system but in place of where that fingerprint reader would be on the back is this little nub and for a while I would just kept like picking at it to be honest it kind of creates some separation between the table that it might be resting on and the cameras they can are way back to where the venue is going to be to our hotel and then to the benefit right now the main takeaway so that there are a lot of things that this phone is doing right now very low screen to body ratio very small bezels so the phone itself is beautiful no camera yes does feel very premium and oh by the way he said whether he goes from the thing is and this is something we're going to have to see if it's fixed in the final your units they're not that many options you can't use all of the lenses for all of the modes it's a little bit of a bummer so being able to use the zoom or the wide-angle for video for example that would be a great addition but again that has to do with hopefully software updates coming in the future so we'll see where that goes once we get our hands on the reviewing it but for now we're gonna go ahead and call it on this kind of a new type of way for me to do these hands-on videos I figured since I have the phone on me right now and the both of us were able to take a bunch of the pictures and photos with it I might as well do something like on the fly so let me know what you thought of this format of the hands-on video on location here at the launch in Zurich peekaboo or baby shark like what what what's your what's a better title well then baby shark it is alright thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in our next video
