So much more than hardware, Reno11 Pro’s camera represents a breakthrough in portrait imaging.

OPPO has teamed up with portrait photography experts from around the world, combining their honed insight and considered feedback in its Portrait Expert Engine. This results in a four-part process to capture tasteful, beautiful portrait photos, starting with Facial Recognition + Subject/Scene Separation, followed by Skin Colour and Facial Feature Protection, then Upgraded Clarity, Stereoscopic Light and Shade Effects, and finally Background Optimisation + Subject/Scene Fusion.

Reno11 Pro takes this advanced portrait algorithm and combines it with its pro-grade Portrait Mode. This captures natural-looking portraits at either 1x or 2x zoom with incredible subject, object, and edge separation. In addition, advanced flattering safeguards individuality, while adjustable bokeh empowers the photographer to adjust focus more precisely.

Selfies become self-portraits on Reno11 Pro, with the powerful 32MP front camera featuring the advanced Sony IMX709 sensor behind the portrait-perfect 2x telephoto camera. This powerful hardware is matched with AI Portrait Retouching for fine-tuned photos with key optimisations applied to lips and eyes for the most accurate shadowing, lipstick shades, and facial structural refinement possible, all without sacrificing a subject’s natural beauty.
