Mediatek’s Dimensity chipsets are bringing premium features like 5G to more affordable
handsets, so you don’t have to spunk the best part of a grand to get a spangly future proof mobile
Case in point, the fresh new OPPO Reno4 Z 5G - just £329 here in the UK, yet it packs some
really great specs like a 120Hz IPS display, dual lens selfie shooter, and ruddy good performance
thanks to MediaTek’s 7nm Dimensity 800 chipset - That Dimensity 800 SoC puts the 5G in this
smartphone's name with its dual 5G support and it also serves up a bevy of really slick features.
Big thanks to MediaTek for sponsoring this video, and now we’re gonna take a
full on tour of the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G to see what that chipset is really capable of.
The Reno4 Z 5G is a near 6.6-inch unit, so that IPS screen is certainly big enough for
enjoying a spot of Netflix action - and of course enjoying all of the geekily gratifying
anime - and it's also plenty sharp enough too with its FHD+ resolution. MediaTek’s AI-powered
MiraVision tech automatically adjusts the picture to suit your environment and make
things pleasingly easy on the eye, while also upscaling crappy low-res content so it looks
sharper and sexier, with HDR-style contrast and finer detailing.
But one of the best aspects of that display is the 120Hz refresh rate, which until recently
you only saw on top-end gaming smartphones - and that makes everything look silky smooth,
even when you’re just piddling about with the UI. And that’s thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 800,
which fully supports these velvety fluid panels. That screen is also great for a bit of mobile
gaming, with its 120Hz touch response rate - so your frantic pokes and prods result
in immediate wild gunfire, as soon as some random pops up in front of you.
And if you’re gaming online, great news, MediaTek’s HyperEngine smarts have been
upgraded to version 2.0, delivering a reliable low-latency connection by constantly monitoring
which network is best for your gaming needs. That HyperEngine tech also helps the OPPO Reno4 Z
to smash through the latest games no worries, with popular titles like PubG Mobile and Call of Duty
playing like a dream even when you knock up the graphics settings to max. The octa-core MediaTek
Dimensity 800 serves up a perfectly smooth and stable frame rate on those top levels,
while everything stays nice and cool, so you can tell work to do
one and spend the afternoon perforating people. You certainly won’t have to worry about running
out of battery for a good long while either. The OPPO Reno4 Z 5G only sports a modest 4000mAh cell,
which is smaller than most rivals. But that chipset is so energy efficient,
you can keep on merrily murdering all afternoon long and not run out of battery.
Of course one of the other big advantages of those Dimensity
chipsets is their built-in support for 5G - So you can grab a future-proofed phone like
the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G that can take advantage of those stable and super-fast connections,
without spending a whole load of cash. The MediaTek Dimensity 800 offers full
support for bands ranging from 2G up to 5G, and you can even enjoy a 5G connection on two SIMs
at the same time here on the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G. Plus MediaTek’s 5G UltraSave tech means less
power drain when you jump onto those super-fast networks.
As for the camera tech, the Reno4 Z 5G is a six shooter - you've got four lenses
on the back and two around front. Not really sure that’s enough guys...plenty of space here for more
Thankfully the Dimensity 800 can handle quad lens setups no worries. And that 48MP primary sensor,
Sony’s ever dependable IMX586, can capture bright, attractive pics even in fairly testing
conditions - using 4-in-1 pixel binning to deal with weak lighting and other issues. Image
processing is handled by MediaTek’s on-chip AI Processing Unit, the APU 3.0, and this can rectify
any other issues with the photo and ensure you get a vivid, lifelike pic to share with the world.
That Reno4 Z also packs in an 8MP ultra-wide lens for a different view when needed, plus a pair of
monochrome lenses to get some lush portrait shots. Meanwhile around front, the Reno4 Z sports a 16MP
selfie snapper, alongside a dedicated depth sensor for capturing you in explicit detail and adding an
accurate bokeh effect for more stunning portraits. So that right there in a nutshell is some of the
clever tech that MediaTek’s Dimensite platform brings to phones like the OPPO Reno4 Z 5G.
And the really good news is that MediaTek is continuing to expand its Dimensity family so
for instance it just launched the fresh new Dimensity 700, which once again is a
7nm platform that should bring 5G support to even more affordable handsets in 2021.
So if your heart is set on a fresh new 5G blower, but your stacks are anything but fat,
no worries - in the coming months you should have an absolute plethora of choice.
