Get Creative with Underwater Photography on the World's First Caseless Underwater Phone
With an IP69 Water and Dust Resistance rating across both models, the Reno13 Series offers exceptional protection against water and dust. Not only are the phones shielded against splashes of water up to 80°C³, they can also remain submerged in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes⁴, unlocking all-new ways for users to explore and create in the world around them.

Backed by industry-leading water resistance capabilities, Reno13 Series phones support underwater photo and video recording without the need for external waterproof casings or accessories. All models feature a dedicated Underwater Mode⁵ with independent colour tuning for distortion-free, lifelike shots, and physical button control for effortless underwater operation. Additionally, an advanced one-tap drainage mechanism expels water from the device within seconds to maintain optimal performance. Together, the powerful design and features enable users to explore underwater photography with unprecedented ease and reliability, setting a new standard for durability and creativity on mobile phones.

Elevating Photography Experiences with AI Innovations
OPPO takes mobile photography to new heights on the Reno13 Series with a collection of powerful AI features designed to help users capture every lively moment in vibrant detail.

AI Livephoto redefines dynamic photography with ultra-clear, high-definition images combined with an incomparably smooth and stability shooting experience. Using EIS stabilization and dynamic frame expansion technology, the feature minimizes frame drops while enhancing image sharpness to create one of the smoothest and most reliable Livephoto experiences yet. A full suite of AI-enabled post-editing and creative enhancements tools, including make-up effects and filters, together with Pro XDR technology provide further freedom to personalize memories effortlessly.

The Reno13 Series also takes a big step in removing compatibility barriers between different smartphone ecosystems. Through the all-new Tap-to-Share feature, the phones are among the first Android devices to support direct sharing of Livephotos with iOS devices (with NFC capability) , while support for AI Livephoto sharing across popular social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram⁶, and WhatsApp, makes it easier than ever to share content between friends, family, and followers.

Another brand-new feature on the Reno13 Series is AI Motion, which leverages advanced generative AI technology to transform still images into vibrant three-second videos with near-2K quality. By adding lively micro-motion effects or time-lapse animations to still photos like starry skies or bustling streets, AI Motion can rejuvenate any photo into a dynamic Livephoto without any professional editing skills needed.

Alongside these features, the Reno13 Series' AI Editor introduces a suite of tools that transform ordinary shots into professional-grade images.

   ●   AI Clarity Enhancer sharpens distant scenery to make even far-off objects like landscapes or architectural details appear crystal clear.

   ●   AI Unblur brings clarity to previously blurry photos, ensuring every moment is captured with lifelike precision.

   ●   AI Reflection Remover eliminates glass reflections, allowing users to capture scenery through windows with minimal interference.

The Reno13 Pro 5G also boasts a 50MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera (Sony IMX890), a 50MP Telephoto Camera with 3.5x optical zoom, an 8MP Ultra-Wide Camera, and a 50MP Selfie Camera. On the Reno13 Pro 5G and Reno13 5G, both the front and rear cameras support 4K Ultra Clear video recording, capturing video that's four-times as clear as standard 1080P video and filled with richer details.

Meanwhile, the AI Assistant for Notes offers AI-driven tools for formatting, editing, content expansion, and style variations. These capabilities are complemented by the upgraded AI Toolbox 2.0, which is included via the sidebar to offer real-time spell checks, translations, text rewriting, and suggestions in multiple languages based on intelligent understanding of the user's current task.

The Ultimate Gaming Experience with Superior Performance
Equipped with a custom MediaTek Dimensity 8350 mobile platform⁷ optimized in partnership with MediaTek, the Reno13 Pro 5G and Reno13 5G set a new standard in mobile performance. Built on a cutting-edge 4nm process, the Dimensity 8350 features an 8-core CPU configuration with a main frequency of up to 3.35GHz, offering a 20% boost in performance while reducing peak power consumption by 30%. This enables exceptional performance with high power efficiency, delivering a smoother, more agile gaming experience, high-definition photography, and robust support for advanced AI features.

Gaming sessions are further enhanced by an AI Multi-Cooling System featuring an expanded Vapor Chamber (VC). On the Reno13 Pro 5G, the VC area has been doubled over the previous generation. Intelligent algorithms have also been added to dynamically manage temperature for consistent performance during long gaming sessions.

Even during resource-intensive sessions, gameplay on the Reno13 series remains smooth and lag-free thanks to the upgraded AI HyperBoost gaming engine, which intelligently allocates resources and stabilizes frame rates, ensuring smooth gameplay.

The Reno13 series also takes gaming to the next level with OPPO's self-developed Adaptive Frame Booster.

Unlike other solutions that rely on external chips, OPPO's integrated GPU solution minimizes latency to provide a fluid and responsive gaming experience at ultra-high frame rates.

The Reno13 series also introduces AI LinkBoost 2.0, OPPO's latest connectivity solution, featuring eleven strategically placed antennas in a 360° configuration to enhance signal reception. The intelligent system dynamically adjusts network priority to keep users connected even in busy and crowded environments. Compared to the previous generation, video sharing speed in stadiums is 25% faster and video buffering in busy shopping malls is down 24%. Powered by OPPO's custom SignalBoost X1 chip, AI LinkBoost 2.0 also enhances wall penetration and eliminates dead zones, boosting coverage by 42.2% to 145-meters⁸ and upload speeds by 143.1% 20.55 Mbps. On top of this, the updated AI LinkBoost includes a Wi-Fi Positioning feature that guides users on how to place their phone in the optimal position to secure a strong connection even in difficult spots. Together, these new and improved technologies enable smoother online gaming, streaming, and file sharing without disruption in even more environments.
