The under 25K smartphone segment right now is a war zone. It's pure chaos. Want great performance, compromise on the cameras, want great cameras, compromise on the performance in a big way.
What a compact phone. Who are we kidding? But then there's this phone, the Oppo Ino 13.
And this launched in January 2025 at 38,000 rupees. And at that price, it was kind of meh. But now this is going for 239.
And that's without any bank discount. So that's a price drop of 14,000. Yeah, this is the best smartphone deal right now.
Thanks for watching. See you next, but it's the So, this is what the Reno 13 looks like. And it's premium AF matte aluminum frame glass back with a satin-like smooth finish we usually see in OPPO flagships.
This glow around the cam. It's a fantastic looking phone. I mean it's aesthetic especially under 25K.
But more than the looks, what's actually great about this design is the form factor, the size. I mean super sleek at 7. 2 mm.
a processor we've seen in a lot of phones and here too this is solid 1. 3 million in Android 2 which is better than the Nothing Phone 3A. I mean not as good as the Icon Neo 10R which you do get under 25 with the bank discounts but hey it's the middle ground and the day-to-day performance is very good, very snappy, no lags or anything and yes you can game on it.
BGMI run at 90 fps and runs pretty well no problems. COD Mobile runs at 120 fps and is also very smooth and nice. Heck, it even handles bothering at 60 fps with some minor stutters here and there, but trust me, Reno phones are usually known for fantastic cameras, a lot of camera features.
Having said that, the camera setup here isn't out of the world or extraordinary. I mean, you get the 50 megapixel LY600 sensor with OIS, an 8 MP ultra wide, and a monochrome sensor. No telephoto here.
And on the front, you get a 50 map Jane 5 sensor with the autofocus. Now, we all know that specs don't mean nothing. And we compared the cameras with the Renault versus the Nothing Phone 3A.
In daytime, this actually does a good job. I'm glad it's due. The colors in the Nothing photos were more vibrant, but the Renault captures more details when you zoom in, and it's just sharper all around.
The Rena is also better in terms of portraits. The edge detection seems better and the skin tones in the Reno photo are a lot better. Nothing just seems to brighten up the face and yeah, you can also click 2x portraits in the Renault using the in sensor crop and the results are again similar.
Having said that, usual 2x shots are better on the phone 3A because of its dedicated telephoto. So, there's that. And when it comes to low light, the Renault handles lighting well.
Faces are well exposed and overall there are more details. Even colors are good here. And as for the practical.
Not everything is great about this phone. So, here's what I'm talking about. Color OS on this phone is great.
It's got all the features, the premiumness, the smoothness, everything's there. But then there's the bloatware and it's a lot like a lot. I mean, you get these recommended apps when you're setting up the phone.
You get these third-party apps pre-installed. You get these games pre-installed. You get the hot apps recommendations along with hot games.
one solid solid deal at 239. I It's not all perfect with a bloatware, 128 GB storage, no telephoto. But if you can live with all of that, you get a premium design with just the right size, great display, solid performance, good camera, solid battery life, and it's hard to find any major deal breakers.
And that's really good, especially combined with Oppo's solid after sale. So, if you're looking for a solid allrounder phone under 25K, I'd say go with this. The link is in the description down below.
