While your first impressions of the new Oppo Reno5 Pro is likely to be its relatively slim design, it is also interesting for its processor, the Dimensity 1000+ from chipmaker MediaTek.
It is one a few phones that use the chip, joining the ranks of Honor’s V40, Xiaomi Redmi K30 Ultra and Vivo’s iQoo Z1.
Using the 7-nanometre manufacturing process, the chip is said to match the more commonly seen Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 for performance, while keeping costs low.
To test the claims, I ran PCMark and 3DMark benchmark tests to compare the new Oppo phone with Xiaomi’s Mi10T Pro and Huawei’s Mate 30 Pro, which use chips from two other manufacturers.
