The new OPPO Reno 11 Pro price shares the same ethos as the previous Reno iterations, that is, focusing heavily on cameras and design. Now that may also suggest that the Reno11 Pro isn’t exactly a powerhouse, but don’t solely rely on numbers. The real-life performance can be entirely different and often indistinguishable compared to some of its immediate peers.
But the one thing that the Reno11 Pro cannot hide is its price tag. Available in a single storage configuration (12GB + 256GB) at Rs 39,999, it competes with the likes of Honor 90 (review), OnePlus Nord 3/ OnePlus 11R (review), iQOO Neo 7 Pro (review), and more.
OPPO justifies the cost by introducing cutting-edge camera features previously restricted to its premium OPPO Find X and Find N-series phones. The phone maintains a fast charging standard similar to the older Reno phones (charger included). Plus, there’s Android 14 goodness right out of the box.
Oppo Reno 11 Pro Price 5G – Summary
The Reno 11 Pro boasts of a sleek and smooth finish and is quite light while it has a plastic body that comes coated with glass. In addition, it has no official IP rating whatsoever and, till today, still does not come with stereo speakers.
It is capable of taking normal smartphone operations and can support fairly well even some gigantic 3D games. The Oppo is running Android 14 out of the box enhanced to offer a more elegant interface but comes with a lot of spam and duplicate apps.
The phone holds a versatile camera arrangement among which the first camera yields the best performance as far as image capture is concerned trailed by the telephoto camera chiefly employed in taking portraits. The ultra-wide camera is far from impressive and the same goes for this phone’s video capabilities as a whole. The battery life is decent for this slim design-centric smartphone form factor. However, charging is super fast.

Performance
The Pro version of Reno continues to be available in a single storage option. It rocks MediaTek’s 4nm-based Dimensity 8200 SoC with 12GB of LPPDR5x and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage – an upgrade on all fronts compared to Reno10 Pro. Real-life performance was also satisfactory, as I did not face abrupt app crashes or overheating issues on the Reno11 Pro. Gaming performance with demanding titles like BGMI and COD was good, if not the best. In benchmarks, the Reno11 Pro attains decent scores (images below). However, the scores put it behind the OnePlus Nord 3, Redmi Note 13 Pro+, and iQOO Neo 7 Pro – at least based on numbers.
What sets it apart is the Android 14 experience out of the box, which most rivals are either gradually receiving or yet to receive. Some of my favourite Android 14-based ColorOS 14 features include File Dock to save images, text, or files in a neat dock at the corner of the screen. Plus, the dock syncs across your ColorOS 14 phone and tablet. Another available feature is the Smart Image Matting, inspired by iOS’s Quick Look Cutout. It essentially takes a neat cutout of the subject that you can share across messaging apps. Plus, the overall UI feels much more refined.
Battery
The OPPO Reno11 Pro retains a 4,600mAh battery that offers almost all-day battery life with the highest settings enabled. You can stretch the battery life by turning off some high-consuming apps and features, including AOD. I like that the ColorOS 14 offers a specific app-related high refresh rate, meaning you can reserve the 120Hz refresh rate for select gaming apps, while the rest of the apps can operate at 60Hz. Theoretically, this can provide longer battery life.
The Reno11 Pro also continues to support 80W SuperVOOC charging. With the bundled charger in the box, the phone attains a 50 percent charge in around 25 minutes. A full charge may take up to 45 minutes.
Final Verdict
The OPPO Reno11 Pro does feel priced on the higher side, and there are a bunch of more affordable alternatives available. For instance, if your priority is gaming, you may want to consider the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ powered iQOO Neo 7 Pro. The Redmi Note 13 Pro+ is also a solid option with its all-round specifications. And if you care about the software experience, the OnePlus Nord 3 is a solid choice, which coincidentally leverages the same IMX890 camera sensor used in the Reno11 Pro.
In summary, the Reno11 Pro may not be the most powerful smartphone in its segment, but it’s easily one of the most flamboyant devices at any price bracket. This smartphone also has a lot to offer if your priority leans towards the camera. Moreover, Reno11 Pro’s 80W charging support makes it a more compelling option than Google and Samsung smartphones.
