FULL STORY
======================================================================Oppo 
has announced the new Reno 13 series of midrange handsets The Reno 13 Pro 
sports a 3.5x telephoto camera and IP68 / IP69 water and dust resistance Oppo 
seems to suggest a combination of these new features with a new underwater 
photography mode 

As our Oppo Reno 12 Pro review details, a telephoto lens is a rare and 
valuable addition for a midrange handset. The Oppo Reno 13 Pro comes equipped 
with a 3.5x telephoto camera, nearly doubling the optical zoom reach of its 
predecessor, the Oppo Reno 12 Pro. 

As far as were aware, the Reno 13 Pros 3.5x snapper gives Oppos latest 
leading mid-ranger more optical zoom reach than any other phone of its price. 

Telephoto cameras are becoming more common on midrange handsets: we recently 
saw the launch of the Nothing Phone 3a and Phone 3a Pro , which respectively 
carry 2x and 3x telephoto cameras. 

The 50MP 3.5x telephoto camera is joined by a 50MP main camera and 8MP 
ultra-wide camera, in an arrangement that follows Oppos track record of 
taking  lets call it inspiration  from a certain Cupertino-based phone maker. 

Design lineage aside, the Oppo Reno 13 Pro is also rated to IP69, and Oppo 
says the phone is resistant to being submerged in fresh water as well as 
heated jets of water  its as waterproof as a phone can get right now. 

With these two features  an upgraded camera system and the best possible 
water resistance  Oppo has done the natural thing and devised a way to make 
the most of both at the same time. The Reno 13 Pro comes with a new 
underwater camera mode that utilizes the volume rocker to operate the camera 
when submerged. 

This new mode allows users to take photos with the volume-up button, and 
start and stop video with the volume-down button, which I must admit is a 
reasonably intuitive control scheme  even if the idea of hopping in the pool, 
phone in hand, does still freak me out a bit. 

Weve seen phones with IP69 water resistance before, but its very rare that a 
phone maker actively encourages its users to take a dip with their device  
let alone for the sake of a photo shoot. 

The Oppo Reno 13 Pro, and its two siblings the Oppo Reno 13 and Reno 13F, 
have not yet received a release date or pricing  well update this article
