OPPO’s Reno13 range includes three models, all aimed at different price points: the Reno13 Pro, the Reno13, and the Reno13 F.

They look similar at a glance, but each has its own mix of features and specs, which can make it hard to figure out what sets them apart.

To make things easier, we’ve broken down the key differences across design, display, performance, cameras, battery, and software, so you can decide which one’s the best fit for you.

Design & Build

All three Reno13 models boast a clean aesthetic. Essentially, if you’ve seen any smartphone in the last 10 years, you’ll know what to expect. They’re durable, each of them supporting an IP68/IP69 resistance rating, they’re slim and stylish with a volume rocker and a power button on the left, they have USB-C charging ports at the bottom and typically, the camera module sits on the back. All pretty standard stuff. 

The Reno13 Pro feels the most premium with its curved glass front screen, glass back, and sturdy aluminium frame. This is the only device in the range with a curved display that blends smoothly into the edges of the device, instantly giving it a more premium look. Additionally, it gets rid of the “boxy” design, making it feel nicer to hold.

The Reno13 forgoes the curved screen, instead opting for a more standard flat-screen. It has the same glass/aluminium materials as the Pro and also boasts a feature which OPPO calls, “Luminous Loop.” This is a light around the camera array that will light up for calls, notifications and charging.

The Reno13 F has a similar shape but it utilises a plastic back and frame, which doesn’t feel as premium. It’s the thickest of the three, and feels the most “chunky” to hold. It also doesn't look as sleek, with its simple colour configurations. The Reno13 and 13 Pro have patterned colours that give off a shine, which helps make them stand out a bit more. One standout feature here is it does have a microSD slot, whereas the other two are locked to internal storage only.

Display

All three phones have AMOLED panels with 120Hz refresh rates, but there are some quality differences:

  • The Reno13 Pro has a 83" curved AMOLED screen with a 1.5K resolution. It supports HDR10+ and has a peak brightness of 1200 nits.

  • The Reno13 uses a 59" flat AMOLED screen with the same 1.5K resolution. It’s also HDR10+ certified and has a peak brightness of 1200 nits.
  • The Reno13 F boasts a 67" flat AMOLED screen, with standard 1080p resolution. It doesn’t support HDR10+ meaning the bright colours aren’t as bright and the dark colours aren’t as dark, but it has a peak brightness of 2100 nits.

For display quality, both the Pro and base Reno13 feel more premium. The F is more than fine for everyday use, but it’s clearly the step down.

Performance

The Reno13 Pro and Reno13 both use the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor, while the Reno13 F runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1.

Here’s some tests we conducted to give an idea of the differences in performance capabilities:

Geekbench 6 (CPU Test):
Measures how fast a phone’s processor handles everyday tasks like web browsing, photo editing, and multitasking. It gives separate scores for single-core and multi-core performance.

3DMark (Graphics Test):
Tests the phone’s GPU by running high-intensity 3D graphics, like a game. It shows how well the phone handles gaming and visually demanding apps.

  Geekbench Single Core Score Geekbench Multi Core Score 3DMark Wildlife Extreme Score
MediaTek Dimensity 8350 1328 4019 2869 @ 17.18fps
Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 941 2694 664 @ 3.98fps

The Dimensity 8350 in the Reno13 and Reno13 Pro handles everyday use with ease. Apps open quickly, multitasking is smooth, and it’s well suited for things like running demanding apps. It can also handle modern mobile games at decent graphics settings without lag or stutter.

The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Reno13 F is fine for basic tasks like browsing, messaging, streaming, and light app use. It runs casual games well but struggles with graphically intense ones, and you’ll notice slower load times and occasional lag if you push it too hard. It’s best for users who don’t need high performance.

All three come with up to 12GB RAM, and up to 512GB of internal storage, but as mentioned earlier, only the Reno13 F supports microSD cards.

Cameras

This is where the lineup differs most:

Reno13 Pro

  • 50MP main (OIS)
  • 50MP telephoto (3.5x zoom)
  • 8MP ultrawide
  • 50MP selfie camera with autofocus and 4K video

This is easily the most versatile camera setup of the three. It has decent wide, and ultrawide capabilities with the 3.5x telephoto lens being a standout, allowing for crisp and clear zoomed photos at up to that distance. It also allows you to take social media worthy selfies and videos.

Reno13

  • 50MP main (OIS)
  • 8MP ultrawide with autofocus (can double as macro)
  • 2MP monochrome sensor
  • 50MP selfie cam with autofocus and 4K video

It has the same decent main and selfie cameras as the Pro, but it lacks the zoom capabilities. For most users, this will be enough. It will allow you to take good photos and videos for social media.

Reno13 F

  • 50MP main (OIS)
  • 8MP ultrawide (fixed focus)
  • 2MP macro
  • 32MP selfie cam, no autofocus, 1080p video

This is a much more basic array. The main cam holds its own, but the ultrawide and macro lenses are just serviceable. The selfie camera is fine but it doesn’t come close to the 50MP units above.

Battery & Charging

All models are fitted with big batteries

  • Reno13 Pro & F: 5800mAh
  • Reno13: 5600mAh

All of them will easily last a full day, almost two days with light use.

Charging speeds

  • Reno13 Pro: 80W wired + 50W wireless (and reverse wireless too!)
  • Reno13: 80W wired
  • Reno13 F: 45W wired

The Pro is the only one with wireless charging, which is a nice premium perk. The 45W on the F is slower but still decent. And the good news is, each of the phones comes with their own charging bricks. However, they’re USB-A which feels a bit dated nowadays.

Software & Features

All three phones run ColorOS 15 (based on Android 15), and OPPO’s promising 5 years of Android updates and 6 years of security patches.

They all feature stereo speakers, in-display fingerprint scanners, underwater camera mode, and advanced AI camera tools baked into the OS.

Which One Is Right for You?

Here’s the simple breakdown:

Reno13 Pro
The most feature-packed of the three. You get a curved display, telephoto zoom, wireless charging, and a high-end build. It's a good option for mobile gamers, content creators, and anyone who wants strong all-round performance with some premium extras.

Reno13
Delivers the same performance and camera quality as the Pro, minus the telephoto lens and wireless charging. It’s the most balanced choice in the lineup, offering great value for users who want solid gaming and daily performance without paying for features they may not use.

Reno13 F
The most affordable model, but still offers good everyday performance, excellent battery life, and a clean design. It’s ideal for casual users, lighter gamers, or anyone who just wants a dependable phone without the extra cost.
