Keeping core memories alive with the OPPO Reno10 Series 5G

09/26/2023

Growing up, I was the girl with the camera.

Around the time I was in elementary school, my parents noticed that I liked taking photos so they bought me one of those plastic, everyday cameras – a Canon Prima BF-800 if I remember correctly, the pretty beige one too.

I brought that with me wherever I went and took all the photos I could (film rolls weren’t that expensive back then).

And I was rewarded with albums and albums of tangible memories; of the mundane everyday life and special occasions, of family and friends, and of those I now do not know. Of those I’ve grown up with or those I’ve grown apart from.

In a past I can now only visit through those photos.

Memory-making in the 21st century

These days, almost everybody has a camera but in the form of a smartphone.

The problem now, at least for me, is that we’re so used to taking photos and videos, and can do so quite endlessly, that it’s kind of lost its magic. The rise of content creation and social media has us documenting everything.

And I do mean everything.

It’s a double-edged sword, of sorts. Now everyone can take photos but many may end up missing any sentiment or value, most photos then end up as just another block in the camera roll.

I’m like that too, for the most part. Being a reviewer of gadgets and all, I take a tremendous amount of photos – most of which are for testing said phone cameras – and I suppose only about half of them have a story behind them.

But all the time I’ve spent with different kinds of smartphones made me realize that it’s having a good camera that pushes me to take more photos during those important moments. Not only do I enjoy looking at the photo but it’s something I’d be happy to share with family, friends, or social media.

This year, camera offerings on smartphones have become interesting – varying combinations, high-megapixel counts, AI enhancements, pro-level features, and so on. But it can’t be denied that high-quality photos are still the goal.

In the case of the OPPO Reno10 Series 5G, there’s a new Ultra-clear camera system and a new lens – a telephoto portrait.

Documenting core memories and life milestones

One of my latest core memories was participating in this year’s TGR Vios Cup as an autocross racer representing The Modern Creatures. And for the second leg of the race, I had the Reno10 Pro+ 5G in tow.

Never in my life did I think I would attempt something like autocross so needless to say, it was a moment I wanted to remember. But participating in the race and being on the track pretty much the whole day meant I couldn’t bring a big camera – but I could bring a smartphone.

Easily slipping in and out of my racing suit pocket, I was happily able to take a lot of photos with the Reno 10 Pro+ 5G on the track, around the venue, and even in the race car.

Starting early in the morning and ending past midnight over the weekend, the Reno10 Pro+ 5G’s cameras were flexible and versatile enough to keep up. Being a fan of portraits and shallow depth of field, I loved having the telephoto portrait so easily available as well.

Fun fact: most telephoto lenses for cameras are actually big and hefty. So having a tiny phone that replicates the look of this lens was really fun for me.

I was able to take portraits of my fellow racers and had some taken of me as well.

Candid snaps are also a favorite of mine since the captured moment is often true and sincere.

The shallow depth of field or bokeh that the telephoto camera produces adds a certain cinematic quality to the photo, almost like a mirrorless camera, which makes it look more elevated than the usual smartphone snap.

Having a capable 64-megapixel main camera was also a great complement to that telephoto lens. It’s the better choice for capturing the bigger picture. Photos of locations, scenery, and other wide shots were beautifully detailed and with true-to-life colors, too.

With practice starting as early as 5 AM, I was able to catch the gentle morning sun hitting the race cars using the Reno10 Pro+5G just before we had to start. Switching to the ultra-wide lens, I was able to capture a more dramatic, cinema-like shot.

It was easy to take selfies, too, with its 32-megapixel front-facing shooter. I even snapped one a few minutes right before my turn started which makes a photo I’ll definitely want to keep.

I’ll remember that selfie well, I think, because I was incredibly nervous and consciously decided to take a photo to distract myself while waiting.

Luckily it’s not just the Pro+ that’s capable of photos like these, the Reno10 Series 5G lineup all offer high-quality cameras. The top-of-the-line model does have certain advantages and it’s the one I would recommend but I wouldn’t shy away from recommending the other members of the family as well.

It’s not just hardware either because the Reno10 Series 5G lineup offers additional software support that helps in producing these album-worthy photos.

Never mind if the sky is too bright, ProXDR is able to bring back those details in post-processing.

Skittish pets that always end up blurry in photos? The cameras actually take multiple shots when you press the shutter button and AI helps in determining the best frame. So, more often than not, photos can still come out sharp.

Basically, the Reno10 Series 5G devices come with flexible cameras partnered with capable software that do well in all sorts of scenarios; from taking intimate low-light portraits during birthday celebrations, fitting the squad into a photo during reunions, to capturing the beauty of nature during a camping trip.

Making every moment count

It’s easier to make every moment count when you’re not worrying about the quality of your photos. The cameras on the OPPO Reno10 Series 5G easily stand out because of their flexibility. You’re not limited to relying on one lens or even just one focal length. Whether wide or up close, night or day, you can keep your memories alive in the form of beautifully captured photos.

And in essence, I think that’s really why most of us want a high-quality camera anyway – to share an experience, to tell a story, to freeze a moment in time. And to look back on them years from now with a smile on our faces.

If you’re thinking of getting one for yourself, the full lineup which includes the OPPO Reno10 5G, OPPO Reno10 Pro 5G, and OPPO Reno10 Pro+ 5G, is already available. You can head over to OPPO’s physical stores or checkout online through the website, Shopee, or Lazada.

The OPPO Reno10 Series 5G is also available through local telecom partners Smart and Globe. Obtainable through postpaid plans, the Reno10 5G and Reno10 Pro 5G is offered by both while the Reno10 Pro+ 5G is exclusive to Globe.
