Design: Premium Feel Without the Heft
The Reno 13 Pro looks and feels like a ₹80k phone at 197g and just 7.59mm thin, it’s slimmer and lighter than the Vivo X200 Pro (215g) and more comfy than the chunky S25 Ultra (218g titanium). The aerospace-grade aluminum frame with sculpted one-piece glass back in Graphite Grey resists fingerprints like a champ Mist Lavender is prettier if you want pop. IP66/IP68/IP69 rating meant it survived a high-pressure car wash test (don’t ask), and Gorilla Glass 7i shrugged off keys in my bag.
The 6.83-inch AMOLED (1272×2800, ~450 PPI) with 120Hz is vibrant 1600 nits peak brightness handles sunny days well, though not as blinding as X200 Pro’s 4500 nits. Quad-curved edges look premium, but flat on S25 Ultra reduces mishaps. In-display fingerprint is snappy, stereo speakers loud for movies.
Performance: Dimensity 8350 Keeps It Snappy
MediaTek Dimensity 8350 with 12GB RAM smooth for everything. AnTuTu ~1.2 million, no lag in multitasking or Genshin on high (60fps steady). Versus X200 Pro’s Dimensity 9400, gap small for non-pros; S25 Ultra’s Snapdragon 8 Elite wins heavy editing. Cooling solid barely warm during long shoots.
ColorOS 15 on Android 15 clean with AI like summary/rewrite. 3 OS + 4 security updates. Versus Samsung’s 7 years, shorter but less bloat. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3.
