Built for Photography

The Reno 11 Series features OPPO’s cutting-edge HyperTone Image Engine that uses deep pixel fusion to process lossless photos in the RAW domain. As a result, images are rendered with sharp details, accurate colours, and with an extended dynamic range for a perfect balance between light and shadows.

OPPO’s Tone Mapping Control algorithm optimises lighting, colouring, and texture to cater specifically to Indian skin tones in portrait photos. The upgraded processing algorithms excel in capturing detailed images in various settings, including low-light environments. The integration of features like OIS and omnidirectional PDAF ensures stability and clarity in action shots.

Innovations in portrait photography include the Reno11 Series’ Portrait Mode, allowing users to control the aperture and adjust it even during post-processing. Features like 2x telephoto, facial recognition algorithms, and AI distinctions for skin tones and blemishes add to the series’ versatility.

For users seeking granular control, the Reno11 Series offers a Pro mode that allow adjustment of ISO, shutter speed, exposure value, focus, and white balance. The inclusion of screen overlays and guides ensures that you can frame perfect snapshots with aesthetically pleasing compositions.

All these algorithms and features are backed by sterling camera hardware. The Reno11 Pro 5G packs a triple camera setup that comprises the 50MP IMX890 ultra-clear main camera, the 32MP IMX709 RGBW telephoto portrait camera with 2X optical zoom, and the 8MP IMX355 ultra wide-angle 112° snapper. It also sports a 32MP IMX709 RGBW selfie camera that supports autofocus for high-quality portraits even in dimly lit surroundings. 

The Reno 11, on the other hand, comes with a 50MP Sony LYT600 main camera, 32MP IMX709 RGBW telephoto portrait camera with 2X optical zoom, 8MP IMX355 ultra-wide 112° camera, and a 32MP OmniVision OV32C ultra-clear selfie camera.

Both devices boast 4K videos at 30fps from the front and rear cameras, an ultra-steady mode on the rear camera for 1080p videos at 60fps, and additional shooting modes, including Night, Pano, Slo-mo, Dual-view video and Text scanner.

Commenting on the launch, Savio D’Souza, Director, Product Communications, OPPO India, said, “The Reno11 Series bears testament to OPPO’s expertise in proprietary technologies such as the HyperTone Image Engine, BHE, SUPERVOOCTM and ColorOS that define how software innovation can drive hardware to its potential. We are truly excited for our customers to experience these new smartphones that epitomise the Reno experience, whether it is in top-grade camera performance, smooth multitasking across demanding apps, and even a battery that charges quickly, safely and lasts longer to make the Reno11 Pro 5G and the Reno11 your ultimate companion for every journey.”
