On the front is a 6.4-inch AMOLED display nearly touching the edges, hence negligible bezels. As part of the elliptical punch-hole cutout, Oppo Reno 4 sports a dual selfie camera. You can also see the in-display fingerprint scanner.

It is tall at 20:9 aspect ratio and the display is rich with 409 PPI density and it can produce a typical brightness of 430 nits.

Oppo Reno 4 is equipped with a large 4,000 mAh Li-Po battery capable of providing an output of more than a day even on moderate to heavy usage. It is further equipped with a whopping 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging tech that juices up the battery to 60% in 15 minutes and to max capacity in 36 minutes.

Oppo launched the Reno 4 series in June 2020 in China less than six months after the Reno 3 series went live. Oppo Reno 4 does manage to squeeze in a lot of beef even after being an upper mid-range device with SDM765G which includes a faster 65W SuperVOOC 2.0, and a 4000 mAh battery under the hood. The device does have 5G although it is not available in India so you are limited to 4G only. There are many ups with the Oppo Reno 4 and since it falls at half the price of a flagship although, with a slightly underpowered processor compared to them, you are in for a treat.
