When it comes to choosing a mid-range phone, there are three necessities everyone should look for. First, the phone should have good specs for the price. Second, the camera should have a good selection of features without a huge difference in quality with flagship phones. Third, it should have solid build quality.

Fortunately for Oppo, the Reno 3 Pro satisfies all three.

SIZE AND WEIGHT

For a phone that costs less than US$500, I’m amazed at how light and thin the Reno 3 Pro feels. 

I like a phone that fits easily into my pocket, and the Reno 3 Pro delivers. It’s also nice to hold and easy to use with one hand. It’s lighter than most other Android phones with large 6-inch displays.

I just wish the bezels were a little thinner to make it even smaller like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. But the Reno 3 Pro isn’t a US$1,000 phone, so it’s hard to complain.

HANDSET DESIGN

If the Reno 3 Pro’s design seems familiar, that’s because it’s pretty similar to other Android handsets coming out of China these days. The shiny back and camera bump are very much in vogue.
