Nowadays, one of the most important features people look for in a smartphone is the quality of the camera

Over the years, phone cameras have gone from being of subpar quality to potentially rivalling DSLR cameras. A camera is now one of the most indispensable features of a smartphone.

That's why OPPO chose to focus on the camera for their new Reno5 series 5G. Incorporating various new aspects, this camera will take your photos and videos to a whole new level.

Whether you're using the front or rear camera, the OPPO Reno5 series 5G delivers high-quality results every time.

On the rear, you'll find a quad-camera setup, consisting of the aforementioned 64MP main camera, as well as a 8MP ultra wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP mono camera.

Meanwhile, there's also the 32MP front camera, which has f/2.4 aperture, 0.8 µm pixel size, and 1/2.8" sensor which supports up to 1080P video shooting.

Here are the impressive photography and videography functions the OPPO Reno5 series 5G offers:

1. AI Highlight Video automatically adapts to the light conditions and switches between Ultra-night mode and Live HDR mode

Both the front and rear cameras will automatically detect the brightness levels of your surroundings, and then choose whether to apply Live HDR or Ultra-night mode.

Ultra-night mode helps you produce brighter photos and videos in low-light conditions, create clearer details while filtering noises, and ensure more accurate colour rendition and less facial distortion. It also helps to tremendously reduce motion blur when the camera is on the move.

As for Live HDR, it creates richer and brighter colours in videos, while also protecting the natural beauty of the video. It does this by not overly-beautifying the video's subjects, and using the right amount of light to capture the background.

Both modes are perfect for recording brighter videos, especially in situations that happen during night time, such as family dinners, karaoke sessions with friends, and watching fireworks or the sunset.

2. Dual-View Video allows you to use the front and rear cameras simultaneously

Now you can capture more beautiful moments at the same time! The multiple camera mode splits the screen into three different modes based on your preference. Explore all kinds of fun and creative ways to record videos while you're staying at home.

3. Take flawlessly stunning videos of yourself and your friends with Portraits Beautification Video

The OPPO Reno5 series 5G uses Smart AI recognition to identify the subjects' age and other information, and then applies specific beauty effects accordingly. And with the natural colour protection feature, natural skin tone and makeup colour can be preserved.

4. Ultra-steady Video 3.0 is OPPO's exclusive stabilisation technology that allows you to capture more stable footage without using a professional stabiliser

There are three stabilisation modes, including Ultra Steady Video on the main camera, and Ultra Steady Video Pro on the ultra-wide-angle camera. You can now shoot dynamic videos with all kinds of drastic movement without worrying about any blurry footage.

5. Use SOLOOP, OPPO's exclusive smart video editor, to effortlessly create amazing photos and videos

Everyone can now shoot like an influencer and effortlessly create trending portrait videos. Assess popular video templates directly from the camera interface according to your own preference, and then share and edit into a short movie instantly.

6. Thanks to Image-clear Engine (ICE), you can say bye bye to blurry photos

With high frame rate shooting, short exposure, and multi-frame optimisation, ICE allows you to easily capture moving objects. Subject detection and focus tracking are also optimised to prevent shaking and moving from affecting the accuracy and quality of the photo.

In addition, the OPPO Reno5 series 5G has all kinds of other cool specs too, making it an excellent choice. Check out some of its key features:
