In recent years, Oppo has pipped brands like Samsung and Apple to become one of the most innovating brands out there. The company has been setting new benchmarks in smartphone design and has come out with some. Last year’s Find X was an example of how well the company blended a unique, beautiful design with powerful hardware. This year, the company continues that with the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.

The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom is a flagship smartphone that is part of the newly minted Reno series. It has a starting price of Rs 39,990, which makes it one of the more affordable flagship phones out there. The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom is a Snapdragon 855-powered phone that also touts a premium glass design, shark-fin pop-up camera, a notchless AMOLED display and of course, a 10x zoom camera. Read our Reno 10x Zoom review to know just why the flagship phones works so well.

Before we get into the design of the phone, a word about the box. The packaging of the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom is probably one of the best I have seen in a long time. The box is slightly longer than usual. Apart from the Reno phone, you get a quality rubber case with a leather-ish feel on the surface. There’s a 20W charging brick with a Type-C cable and a nice pair of Type-C earphones with angular buds and green accents (to match the colour of the phone) that sound pretty good.

The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition is easily one of the best-designed phones this year even if it is wide and bulky. Right out of the box, you are greeted with a large device that offers an incredibly smooth curved back panel that instantly stands out from the crowd. This is due to a combination of a 3D Gorilla Glass 5 with a frosted, matt-like finish that makes it feel silky smooth to the touch. This also makes it quite slippery to hold and the more careful users out there might want to use the case immediately. Our Reno 10x Zoom review unit in Ocean Green looked fantastic
