With a DXOMARK Camera overall score of 121 the Oppo Reno6 Pro+ makes it into the top ten of the Premium segment ($600-799). The device builds on a Photo performance that is excellent for its class (126) and still images benefit from very good texture across the ultra-wide, primary and tele modules.
Its also achieves a decent Zoom score for its class and the Video score of 108 puts the Oppo Reno6 Pro+ among the top ten for Video in the Premium segment, making it an excellent option for users who are looking for consistently decent image results across all use cases without spending Ultra Premium segment amounts of money.
Photo
Oppo Reno6 Pro+ achieves a Photo score of 126. In this section we take a closer look at each sub-attribute and compare image quality against competitors.
Exposure and Contrast
Oppo Reno6 Pro+
92
111
In these tests we analyze target exposure, contrast, and dynamic range, along with repeatability across a series of images. Tests are undertaken in a wide range of light conditions, including backlit scenes and low light down to 1 lux. The score is derived from a number of objective measurements in the lab and perceptual analysis of real-life images.
In outdoor shots, our testers observed very noticeable exposure variation between consecutive shots, like in these images of a backlit scene.
Color

107
In these tests we analyze color rendering, skin tones, white balance, and color shading, along with repeatability across a series of images. The score is derived from a number of objective measurements in the lab and perceptual analysis of real-life images.
These samples show Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s color performance in an outdoor scene.
Autofocus
Oppo Reno6 Pro+
93
109
In these tests we analyze autofocus accuracy and shooting time as well as repeatability, in the lab. We test focus failures, depth of field, and tracking of moving subjects using perceptual analysis of real-life images.
This graph shows the Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s autofocus performance in our benchmark lab analysis under indoor light (300 lux) handheld.
Texture

Bokeh
Oppo Reno6 Pro+
60
80
For these tests we switch to the camera’s bokeh or portrait mode and analyze depth estimation, bokeh shape, blur gradient, and repeatability, as well as all other general image quality attributes mentioned above. The score is derived from perceptual analysis of real-life images.
These samples show Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s bokeh simulation indoors.
Night
Oppo Reno6 Pro+
41
82
In these tests we shoot a selection of images in pitch-black darkness as well as with city lights in the background providing some illumination. We shoot sample images with the camera at default settings in both flash-auto and flash-off modes. We analyze all image quality attributes but we pay particular attention to exposure, autofocus, and color. We do not test night modes that have to be activated manually.
These samples show Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s night performance in flash-auto mode.
Artifacts

In these tests we check images for optical artifacts such as vignetting, flare, lens softness in the corners, distortion, and chromatic aberrations, as well as for processing artifacts such as ghosting and fusion errors, hue shift, and ringing.
This sample shows fusion artifacts in a backlit scene.
Preview
Oppo Reno6 Pro+

In these tests we analyze the image quality of the preview image and the differences between preview images and captured images, particularly in terms of exposure, dynamic range, and bokeh effect. We also check the smoothness of the field-of-view changes in the preview image when zooming with both buttons or when using the pinch-zoom gesture.
These samples compare accuracy between the Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s preview and final capture in a high contrast indoor scene.
Zoom
Oppo Reno6 Pro+ achieves a Zoom score of 64. The Zoom score includes the tele and wide sub-scores. In this section, we take a closer look at how these sub-scores were achieved and compare zoom image quality against the competitors.

This shows the Oppo Reno6 Pro+’s average resolution scores in our benchmark lab analysis using a medium-range zoom setting under different lighting conditions.
Video
In our Video tests we analyze the same image quality attributes as for still images, such as exposure, color, texture, and noise, but we also include such temporal aspects as speed, smoothness and stability of exposure, white balance, and autofocus transitions.
NOTE: The sample video clips in this section are best viewed at the highest resolution available.
Oppo Reno6 Pro+ achieves a Video score of 108. A device’s overall Video score is derived from its performance and results across a range of attributes in the same way as the Photo score. In this section, we take a closer look at these sub-scores and compare video image quality against competitors.
