OPPO, a trailblazer in portrait photography, has taken smartphone photography to unprecedented heights with the Reno Series. With a staggering 70 million Reno users across 60 countries, the Reno Series has become a trusted companion for everyone from casual photographers to professionals.
Revolutionizing Portrait Focal Length
Telephoto cameras have redefined the art of portrait photography. They not only bring subjects closer but also create a unique perspective.
They allow users to maintain a comfortable distance from the subject while capturing intimate portraits. The spatial compression effect of a portrait lens can make the background appear larger and closer, resulting in more intentional-looking photos.
Professional photographers often rely on a 50mm or 85mm telephoto lens for the best portrait shots. The 50mm lens, also known as the nifty 50, is a favorite among pros due to its similarity to the human eye’s perspective.
Starting with the Reno10 series, OPPO introduced its industry-leading Telephoto Portrait Camera, previously exclusive to pro-grade flagship devices.
With a 47mm focal length, it closely matches the preferred 50mm telephoto focal length of photographers and is perfect for distortion-free portrait shooting. Its 2x optical zoom and bokeh effect algorithm make it ideal for portraits taken at or near 50mm.
From Focal Length to Sensor Technology
The Reno10 Series featured a high-quality 32MP IMX709 camera sensor, a result of OPPO’s collaboration with Sony. With a larger 1/2.74-inch sensor size, it offers superior image quality, giving the Reno Series an edge over the competition.
The Reno11 Series continues OPPO’s tradition of innovation in smartphone portrait photography with the introduction of the new Ultra-Clear Portrait Camera System.
Both Reno11 and Reno11 Pro feature high-resolution 50MP main cameras with OIS and a 32MP Telephoto Portrait Camera with a 47mm equivalent focal length, translating to a 2x zoom. These impressive cameras offer professional-looking portrait opportunities at two distinct optical focal lengths.
Unlocking Pro-Grade Portrait Photography
The Reno11 Pro benefits from OPPO’s next-gen computational photography suite – the flagship algorithm – HyperTone Imaging Engine.
Initially developed for Find X6 Pro and Find N3, and refined for Reno11 Pro, it represents a significant advancement for the Reno series and smartphones in general.
Photos that might otherwise look washed out and uninspired are now bursting with details, depth, and vibrant colors, thanks to OPPO’s powerful HyperTone Imaging Engine.
By merging multiple uncompressed images in the RAW domain and applying AI-powered denoise and demosaic processing, it significantly boosts image clarity, dynamic range, and color richness. Users can expect true flagship quality portrait photography from Reno11 Pro.
OPPO Portrait Expert Engine
A great digital portrait is a blend of technology and aesthetics. With the Reno series, OPPO collaborated with professional portrait photographers worldwide to fine-tune the portrait shooting experience. The result is the powerful new OPPO Portrait Expert Engine.
For Reno11 Pro’s Ultra-Clear Portrait Camera System, a new Portrait Mode combines with AI Portrait Retouching to capture a world of skin tones, expressions, and treasured moments.
With Reno11 Pro, users can choose between two optical points of view when using Portrait Mode – a wide 24mm focal length for multiple subjects or a 2x, 47mm portrait to focus on a single subject.
“With this incredible harmony of hardware and software, the OPPO Reno11 Series’ powerful camera system and Reno11 Pro’s next-generation flagship HyperTone Imaging Engine create a perfect combination for captivating portraits, whether you’re a novice or a seasoned professional,” said Fredrique Achieng, PR Manager OPPO Kenya.
The new Reno11 series is available for purchase across all OPPO branded stores countrywide and online through the OPPO Kenya website and e-commerce partners such as Jumia & Kilimall at *RRP Ksh67,999 for the Reno11 5G and *RRP Ksh85,999 for the Reno11 Pro 5G.
