Oppo Reno13 vs. Reno13 Pro
The Oppo Reno13 series is out and about, so you are probably wondering which one to get. But unlike last year, this year's Oppo Reno13 and the Oppo Reno13 Pro are more different than you'd think. There's a non-trivial price difference too. The Reno13 Pro 512GB is about â¬150 more expensive than the vanilla Reno13 256GB, while the gap in India is about 12,000.
The difference in size and camera count are obvious from the specs sheet alone, so we will take a deeper dive into the nitty-gritty to see how different these two handsets are in practice. Some may find the Reno13 a more suitable solution.

Size comparison
The standard Reno13 is obviously the more compact solution, having a smaller 6.59-inch display and as a result, it's lighter, shorter and narrower. It's also thinner in theory, but there's a nuance in practice.
Even though the Pro is thicker on paper, it feels thinner in hand. That's because the extra few millimeters of thickness come from the bulging display, whereas the frame is noticeably thinner. Keep in mind that the front glass on the Reno13 Pro is slightly curved from all sides, so it's slightly bulging. In contrast, the vanilla Reno has a completely flat front glass panel.
Build-wise, there's practically no difference. Both devices use Gorilla Glass 7i protection on the front, standard glass on the back, and an aluminum frame all around. The devices are even IP68/IP69-protected.
Display comparison
There's essentially no difference in the display features - both have similar resolutions, 10-bit color depth support, 120Hz refresh rate, and are HDR10+ compatible.
The only real difference is size, so the choice is pretty obvious. Get the Reno13 if you want a more compact solution, or the Reno13 Pro for a big-screen experience. Even by today's standards, the Reno13 Pro's 6.83-inch diagonal is pretty big.
