Oppo Reno 5G and RX17 Neo giveaway

Posted: 20 Jul 2019 07:00 AM PDT

The Oppo Reno 10x zoom is mentioned no less than three times in our latest smartphone buyer's guide. First, it got the nod for its impressive camera (one of only two with 5x optical zoom), then for its class-leading battery life (107h Endurance) and fast charging and, finally, as one of the best flagships so far this year.
