Specifications of Oppo Reno 4 Pro in India:

The Oppo Reno 4 Pro in India will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor. The 720G is touted as a processor that provides great performance in gaming so PUBG Mobile is going to run great on the device. There is Adreno 618 GPU. It comes with 8GB of Ram and 128GB of internal storage. The display is a 6.5 inch AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. At the back of the smartphone, there is a quad camera setup. The primary lens is a 48MP shooter with EIS or Electronic image stabilization. Sadly, there is no OIS even at such a high price tag. The secondary camera is an 8MP ultrawide sensor. The third camera is a 2MP macro lens and the fourth camera is a 2MP depth sensor. The front selfie camera is a 32MP shooter with a Sony IMX616 sensor. The Oppo Reno 4 Pro will support 4G, dual-band wifi, and Bluetooth 5. Sadly, there is no support for 5G. There is a headphone jack and support for fast charging. The battery is 4000mAh with 65W fast charging support. 

Price of Oppo Reno 4 Pro in India:

The price of Oppo Reno 4 Pro in India is Rs. 34,990 as of now. The price is too high to justify the specifications of the smartphone. Other smartphone manufacturers are offering much better specifications at a much lower price. The recently launched Realme X3 is selling for Rs. 24,999 on Flipkart and that device comes with Snapdragon 855+ processor. So it does seem that Oppo has priced the Reno 4 Pro way too high. Keep in mind that the smartphone does not have 5G connectivity that Oneplus is offering in its NORD at a lower price as well.
