The standout feature of the Reno13 series is its ability to capture stunning underwater photos and videos without the need for waterproof accessories. Rated at IP69, the Reno13 series offers superior protection against dust and water. It can withstand submersion in freshwater up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes.
A dedicated Underwater Mode includes colour tuning for distortion-free shots and physical button controls because nobody wants to wrestle with a touchscreen underwater. And with a one-tap drainage mechanism, your Reno13 stays in prime condition, ready for its next adventure.

Drawing inspiration from butterfly wings and celestial phenomena, the Reno13 series dazzles with its design. The Plume Purple and Plume White variants feature a sculpted glass back that reflects light to create a butterfly-like effect, while the Luminous Blue sports a “Luminous Loop” around the rear camera, evoking the glow of meteor showers and bioluminescent “blue tears.”
The phones also boast aerospace-grade aluminium frames, offering durability without compromising on weight and sleekness. The Reno13 Pro 5G weighs 195g with a 7.55mm profile, while the Reno13 5G comes in at 181g with a thickness of 7.24mm.
The Reno13 Pro 5G features a 6.83-inch Full HD+ Amoled display with a 2800 x 1271 pixels resolution, while the Reno13 5G has a slightly smaller 6.59-inch display. Both support a 120Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth visuals. The Reno13 F 5G sports a 6.67-inch panel with 2400 x 1080 pixels resolution.

What’s a modern day smartphone without AI? Oppo packed so much AI into these phones you’d think they were auditioning for a sci-fi movie. From AI Livephoto (think cinematic, moving portraits) to AI Motion (turn still shots into TikTok-ready videos), the Reno13 Series is designed to make even the most mundane moments Insta-worthy.
Got blurry photos? AI Unblur says, “Not on my watch.” Want a clear shot through a window? AI Reflection Remover’s got your back. These tools, along with a 50MP Sony IMX890 Ultra-Clear Camera, ensure your photography game levels up. The only downside? You’ll need to upgrade your cloud storage.
