At a glance Expert's Rating Pros Excellent zoom camera and strong image quality across the board Sleek design with premium materials and IP69 durability Long battery life and very fast charging Cons Price jump over Reno 12 Pro undermines its value Bloatware and preinstalled third-party apps No headphone jack or Micro-SD support Our Verdict A polished and feature-rich smartphone that gets most things right – but the significant price increase puts it in awkward competition with better-specced rivals. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Best Prices Today: Oppo Reno 13 Pro £649 The Oppo Reno 13 Pro brings big upgrades to one of the most popular mid-range phone lines. It looks and feels like a premium device, with its aluminium and glass construction, IP69-rated durability, and expansive AMOLED display. Under the hood, it packs a more powerful Dimensity 8350 chipset, a triple-lens camera setup that includes a rare 3.5x telephoto, and a battery that comfortably lasts a day and a half. But while the upgrades are significant, so is the price hike. Starting at £649 in the UK, the Reno 13 Pro now finds itself in competition with true flagship challengers such as the Poco F7 Ultra and Pixel 9 – and that undermines the value equation that Oppo’s Reno line used to dominate. It’s a great phone, and the camera and battery experience are particular stand-outs, but it no longer feels like the obvious mid-range choice. Oppo has built a fantastic all-rounder, but priced it out of the mid-range comfort zone. Design & Build Premium aluminium frame and glass back IP69/IP68 dust and water resistance Available in Graphite Grey and Plume Purple Oppo has stepped up its design game this year. The Reno 13 Pro looks and feels far more premium than the Reno 12 Pro, thanks to its polished aluminium frame and sculpted glass back. The design is boxier and more refined, offering a premium feel with the Graphite Grey model and a bit more personality with the Plume Purple variant. Connor Jewiss / Foundry The real standout is the IP69 certification – a rare inclusion even among flagships. It means the phone isn’t only water and dust-resistant but can withstand high-pressure water jets and even hot water. Oppo is clearly leaning into the rugged angle here, especially when paired with the underwater camera mode. This might be overkill for most, but it adds a layer of security that few phones offer. Oppo has stepped up its design game this year – the Reno 13 Pro looks and feels far more premium than the 12 Pro What’s less impressive is the lack of a Micro-SD card slot or headphone jack. These omissions are common in higher-end phones, featuring mostly on budget handsets. But it’s still frustrating, especially for users who rely on wired audio or external storage. That said, the 512GB storage should be more than enough for most users, and Bluetooth 5.4 provides strong wireless connectivity. Screen & Speakers 6.83-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel 1272×2800 resolution with HDR10+ Protected by Gorilla Glass 7i The Reno 13 Pro’s display is one of its strongest assets. At 6.83 inches, it offers a large canvas for everything from gaming to binge-watching. The resolution of 1272×2800 delivers a sharp picture, and the 120Hz refresh rate keeps things fluid and responsive. While the default setting adjusts the refresh rate dynamically to preserve battery life, you can lock it to 120Hz if you prefer constant smoothness.
