Main Camera
The four cameras at the back of the OPPO Reno4 led by the 48-megapixel Sony IMX 586 main sensor do a great job. Just as we have seen with all the devices in the Reno series, the camera does not disappoint. There’s also an 8-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens and 2-megapixel mono chrome lens.
The images produced are excellent, pretty much what you would expect for a phone at that price range. They are decent with some good amount of detail and sharpness. The colours are also good, especially with good lighting.
Low Light shots are also good, thanks to the ultra-dark mode which is also available for selfies.
Other camera modes include portrait, slow-mo, HDR, Panorama, text scanner among others.

OPPO also decided to include a smart video editor called SoLoop on the OPPO Reno4. The app offers some exciting features, allowing you to edit and create.
OPPO included SoLoop, a smart video editor offering even more exciting updated features to easily create videos with a single tap.
OPPO describes SoLoop as a ‘compact video editing application made for smartphones that allows users to create instant slideshows of photos and videos.’ Using the app, users can edit photos and videos manually and put their creativity into it with some transitions, texts, filters, and some music.
