The Box – Unboxing
Seeing the box for the first time, it looks awesome its not your conventional smartphone box, it’s longer and a bit heavier.
At the front is the embossed Avengers logo, with red line stripes on the edges. On the side, there is the OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition label, and at the back are the usual tech specs of the Reno5. It took me some to open this box since I enjoyed how it looks and feels in my hand.
OPPO did not leave any details unattended, even the back of the box lid has a drawing of the original 6 Avengers – Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Widow.
Next is the sleeve that housed the user’s guide and warranty manual also has insignia logos of the six original Avengers.
Then there’s the plastic case with the Marvel logo and comic design which makes it really looks nice and premium. The inner part also comes with patterns similar to Spider-Man’s suit, now this case is really for keeps.
Next is the SIM ejector PIN, which also got the Avengers logo, now this will be my official SIM PIN from now on.
The earphones that come in their own case have the Captain America shield logo on one earbud and the Iron Man logo on the other one. So now I can listen to my favorite playlist with Avenger style.
Even the type-C cable and the charger is special it comes in a red and black colorway. The 50W charger can charge the Reno5 Marvel Edition as quickly as an hour.
The Quantum Black Design
The Reno5 Marvel Edition is a marvel to hold; OPPO has gone to great lengths to ensure that no detail has been overlooked.
The Reno5 Marvel Edition has a slim 7.8mm design, is lightweight at just 171g, and has a very sleek appearance. It slips effortlessly into your denim pocket and fits comfortably in your hand.
Upfront is a 6.43-inch AMOLED display, with a 91.7% screen-to-body ratio and a 20:9 Aspect Ratio.
At the back is the classic Avengers black and red color scheme, it has this Quantum Black design that definitely adds a premium touch to this Marvel edition phone.
There’s the “A” Avengers logo at the center, with Captain America’s shield elements, there are also some elements from Black Widow’s logo with overall Quantum Suits design elements. Good thing the back surface is a matte texture so it’s smudge-proof and it’s really nice to touch and feel.

The screen’s colors are vibrant, with a pleasant brightness level; the viewing angle is also excellent, and using it in direct sunlight is not a challenge. The icons in the default Avengers theme look fantastic and are a lot of fun to look at. This phone is great for playing games and watching Netflix, with bold colours.
It has a system-wide dark mode that can be switched on and off automatically, as well as an SGS eye care display that protects the eyes over time.
It has a more vibrant or gentle screen colour, and the refresh rate can be switched from the default 90Hz to 60Hz; of course, 90Hz has a smoother screen transition and a faster refresh rate.

Geekbench 5: 559 Single-core,1520 Multi-core
This phone, like Ironman’s AI Friday, responds quickly to touch commands, launches apps fast, and switches between apps quickly and smoothly.
In terms of gaming efficiency, games like Call of Duty Mobile run smoothly with high graphics settings, the gameplay is smooth without lag, touch controls are responsive, and the game’s details look great and easy on the eyes thanks to the AMOLED display.
Other games, such as War Robots, Asphalt 9, and Genshin Impact, benefit from the Adreno 618 GPU’s high frame rate capabilities. The speakers are adequate but not sufficient for completely immersing yourself in the game; hence, it is recommended that you use the provided earphones for a better gaming experience.

With seven custom wallpapers featuring the original six Avengers, the default theme looks fantastic. The default lock screen also features the Avengers logo with design elements from Quantum Suits.
