The OPPO Reno 13 Series is expected to arrive in Pakistan with a price tag ranging between PKR 80,000 to PKR 250,000. While OPPO smartphones generally offer decent value for money, there is one major drawback that concerns buyers—the resale value.
Oppo Reno 13 Price in Pakistan: Rs-79,999
Oppo Reno 13F Price in Pakistan: 150,000
Oppo Reno 13 Pro Price in Pakistan: 250,000
Resale Value Issue
One of the biggest problems with OPPO smartphones, including the Reno 13F, is their poor resale value. The brand frequently releases new models within six months, causing previous versions to depreciate quickly. Within 4-5 months, OPPO smartphones can lose 30-50% of their value, making them a risky investment for those who plan to resell their device later.
Design & Build Quality
The OPPO Reno 13F offers a sleek and premium design that feels durable in the hand. Unlike some fragile models, this phone is built to last. Even after two years of use, it should still maintain a fresh look.
Display Quality
- Size: 6.67-inch AMOLED display
- Refresh Rate: 120Hz
- Peak Brightness: 2100 nits
- Protection: IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance
The punch-hole display and minimal bezels ensure an immersive viewing experience. The display quality justifies an 80,000 PKR price tag, but the same cannot be said for the processor.
Processor & Performance
- Chipset: MediaTek Helio G100 (previously G99)
- Gaming Performance: AnTuTu score of 430,000
- Limitations: The same processor is used in cheaper models, even those priced below 40,000 PKR.
OPPO’s decision to include the Helio G100 is disappointing. If they had used the Dimensity 8100 (like in the Reno 11F), the Reno 13F could have been a powerful device.
Camera Setup
- Rear Cameras:
- 50MP Main Sensor (OIS)
- 8MP Ultra-Wide Sensor
- Macro Sensor
- Front Camera: 32MP for selfies
The camera performance is expected to be decent, but the processor may limit its capabilities in certain scenarios.
Alternatives to OPPO Reno 13F
If you’re considering other options, these smartphones offer better value:
- Vivo V40e (PKR 80,000 – 85,000)
- Curved Display
- Better Processor
- Clean UI & Good Software Experience
- Balanced Camera & Gaming Performance
- Vivo V2 Pro (PKR 220,000)
- Superior Resale Value
- More Balanced Performance
- Better Camera System
Should You Buy the OPPO Reno 13F?
If you plan to keep the phone for a long time, the Reno 13F could be a good option. However, if you consider resale value, it’s not the best investment. Instead, adding a little more money to buy an iPhone 11 or Vivo V2 Pro may offer better long-term value.
Final Thoughts: The OPPO Reno 13F has a great design and display, but the processor and resale value make it a questionable choice. Would you buy it? Let us know in the comments!
