Drawing comparisons to the iPhone has become a common trend in the smartphone world, especially in the latter half of this year. With the rise of compact flagship phones, many manufacturers are engaging in direct comparisons with Apple. For instance, the OPPO Find X8 has even been nicknamed the “OPhone” by netizens. Now, OPPO is introducing another Apple-inspired product, the Reno13, set to launch on November 25. Let’s dive into what makes this new phone exciting!
Why is OPPO Reno13 so Apple-like? First and foremost, it’s the design. This time, Reno13 not only adopts the same integrated cold-forged glass back cover design as the iPhone, but the front is also a narrow-bezel flat display. Even the metallic frame texture seems to be cut from the same mold. However, when it comes to aesthetics, personally, I think the Reno13 Butterfly Purple looks much better. Its back cover, crafted using a butterfly-wing engraving process, freezes the motion of butterfly wings. Tilting the phone creates a dynamic effect that looks vivid and lively. Young people will probably love it, right?
OPPO Reno13 has plenty of Apple-like features too. For example, live photos! Reno13 supports an AI high-definition live photo feature and is the first in the industry to achieve 2K resolution live photos. It also supports the most comprehensive live photo ecosystem on Android, allowing users to upload, edit, and share live photos across nine social platforms, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Weibo. Reno13 also debuts Tap-to-Share with iPhones, supporting live photo transfers and more. OPPO has indeed put a lot of effort into bridging the iOS ecosystem.
In the latest teasers, the official announcement revealed that the OPPO Reno13 series supports IP69 water resistance, which is a very practical feature for everyday use. More importantly, the addition of IP69 transforms the Reno13 series into an underwater camera! The Reno13 series supports underwater photography and water-drainage functions, enabling users to take photos of fish, dogs, and more underwater without worrying about water damage. Looking at the official underwater photo samples, they are undoubtedly stunning underwater blockbusters! If the leaks are accurate, Reno13 will be the only phone in its price range to feature an underwater camera.
Additionally, OPPO Reno13 comes pre-installed with ColorOS 15, offering features like silky-smooth animations, a new fluid cloud design, and one-touch screen query functionality—all of which exude Apple-like polish.
As for other specifications, leaks suggest that the Reno13 series features a 1.5K resolution display, with the Pro model offering a subtle curved-edge design.
Overall, the OPPO Reno13 series seems to be another high-attractiveness, Apple-inspired new phone. Whether it’s the premium design or the user-friendly system features, let’s look forward to more surprises from OPPO at the launch event on November 25!
