Midrange

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test score based on reasonable expectations of battery, screen and main camera performance) Every 6 months Oppo delivers an improved version of it's Reno and Reno Pro midranges. The Reno 14 is a small upgrade of an excellent and very affordable 13. It keeps the same build and size, processor, IP and selfie but replaces dookey 2MP depth sensor with a proper telephoto camera and makes the battery slightly bigger.

PROs
aluminum frame glass back body, good performance from Mediatec 8350 with UFS3.1, exceptional 2-day endurance from a 6000mAh battery with 80W charging (no wireless), great 460ppi HDR10+ AMOLED, IP69 protection (down to 2m for 30min), reliable images from a 50MP main + 50MP tele (both OIS PDAF) + 8MP AF ultrawide, great 50MP AF selfie
CONs
a very incremental upgrade, sub-1300nits screen brightness, ultrawide is just okay and so are videos, the SDmemory had been removed since Reno 13, poor OS update policy, no desktop replacement, no video out from a slow USB-C2.0 port

11+14+9+6+9+0+3+0+3+5 = 60

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery and camera performance) Six months after Redmagic 10 Pro, the 10s model brings minor updates: IP54 element protection, faster clock speed on it's SD 8 Elite chip, AF on it's ultrawide camera, minor AI and software improvements and RGB Led customizable lights on the phone's back (mimicking Asus ROG design). Redmagic 10s Pro is a beautiful piece of tech with flat, square design, bright, 430ppi notch-free screen with small bezels, great tactile buttons and very stable OS with tons of gaming and hardware connection options. The full fledged desktop replacement feature is well implemented and allows for working on a monitor while using phone's screen for other tasks.

PROs
very solid build, fast SnapDragon 8 Elite with UFS4.1 Pro performance, a huge 2-day 7050mAh Si/I battery with 80W charging, 1500nits 430ppi 144Hz screen, reliable 50MP OIS PDAF main + 50MP AF ultrawide + 2MP macro setup, great desktop replacement functionality and a headphone jack too
CONs
throttling under heavy load, lack of wireless charging, no HDR10+ or Dolby Vision certification, low IP54 element protection, 16MP below-the-screen selfie, lack of expandable storage and short OS support
