Therefore, before buying it is advisable to choose the one that best suits your needs. Let’s dive into the cameras section now.

Camera

Moving on to the cameras section, you’ll see some startling differences between the two phones. Where, with the Oppo Reno 6 5G set, you will have a triple camera with a 64 MP main camera that is demanding today, the Oppo Reno 4G device comes with a quad-camera with a 64 MP main camera.

That means you will be taking some professional photos. There will be no obstacle against making your imagination a reality. With the freedom to shoot 4K videos, you’re on a grand adventure to shoot the screenplay of your dreams. But unfortunately, the gyro-EIS feature is missing on both the Oppo Reno 6 4G and 5G smartphones.

On the other hand, you notice a difference between hell and heaven with the selfie camera. There is a 32MP selfie camera in the 5G set, while the 4G device offers much higher quality with a 44MP selfie camera. So it definitely provokes us to buy the 4G set.

The brand has updated many features on the 4G device that you cannot ignore, instead, it urges you to buy the 4g phone instead of the 5G device. Recording videos in 1080p is a blessing with both phones but you will have gyro-EIS only on the Reno 6 4g phone. Unfortunately, you will miss the absence of OIS or gyro-EIS on the Reno 6 5G phone.
