Pros
- Good target exposure in bright light and indoor conditions
- Accurate focus in photo and video modes
- Preview image very similar to final capture
- Nice blur and consistent effect in bokeh mode
- Effective video stabilization in bright light and indoors
- Well-controlled noise in bright light video
Cons
- Tone compression in high-contrast scenes
- Desaturated color in photo and video
- Low detail and occasional local loss of texture
- Shadow noise
- Fusion and ghosting artifacts
- Color fringing on ultra-wide camera
- Noise and loss of fine detail when tele-zooming
- Noise and low detail in indoor and low light video
- Exposure instabilities in video
- Strong sharpness differences between video frames
A DXOMARK Camera score of 107 makes the Oppo Reno6 5G a decent option in the High-End segment ($400-$599) but better alternatives are available. Scores are also lower than on the Pro model in the same series for most categories.
Texture comparison: The Reno6 5G’s level of detail is lower than the competitors’ in most conditions.
When capturing still images the camera usually produces good exposures as long as you don’t shoot in very low light, but exposure is unstable across consecutive shots and tone compression is visible in shots of high-contrast scenes. Colors look often desaturated and color rendering can be slightly inaccurate but on the plus side, the autofocus usually works reliably in all conditions.
In terms of texture and noise, there is some room for improvement, with the level of detail generally low and noise visible in most conditions, especially in the shadow areas of the frame. Our testers also spotted some fusion and ghosting artifacts. Some depth artifacts around the foreground subject are visible when shooting in bokeh simulation mode but overall the bokeh effect is pleasant with a fairly strong blur.
Indoor shot: Accurate exposure, slight
clipping, noise, inaccurate color rendering
Low light shot: underexposure, shadow clipping, noise, low details
When shooting with the ultra-wide camera, image quality and performance are quite similar to the more expensive Reno6 Pro. At 16mm equivalent, the field of view is a little less wide than on the best in class and some image artifacts have a negative impact on image quality. The camera scores pretty low for tele, which is mainly due to the lack of a dedicated tele camera. Detail is low and noise is quite noticeable.

When recording video compared to the competition, exposure can be a little dark, and our testers also observed some exposure instabilities, especially when shooting in bright or low light. Like for stills, color is often desaturated, detail is fairly low, and noise is noticeable. White balance can be a little unstable, too. Video artifacts include judder effect, ringing, and aliasing, but the autofocus is accurate and stabilization is mostly effective, despite some sharpness differences between frames.
Good exposure but strong sharpness differences between frames, clipping and noise, as well as exposure and white
balance instabilities
