Oppo unveiled the Reno13 Pro in November last year in China, followed by its global rollout in January. While we’ve already shared our first impressions, we are now diving into its battery performance and charging test results ahead of the full review.
Battery Performance: Bigger Capacity, Longer Life
The Oppo Reno13 Pro is powered by the Dimensity 8350 SoC and features a 5,800mAh battery, a significant upgrade from the Reno12 Pro’s 5,000mAh capacity.
This battery increase directly impacts the device’s Active Use Score. Compared to its predecessor:
✅ Reno12 Pro Active Use Score: 14 hours 54 minutes
✅ Reno13 Pro Active Use Score: 16 hours 42 minutes
The additional battery capacity and optimized power management contribute to this notable improvement in longevity.
Charging Speed: Faster Despite Bigger Battery
The Reno13 Pro supports 80W wired charging, similar to the Reno12 Pro. However, Oppo no longer includes a power adapter in all markets.
Interestingly, despite the larger battery, the Reno13 Pro achieved a slightly faster charging time compared to the Reno12 Pro when using an 80W adapter:
✅ Reno12 Pro (80W charging): Full charge in 46 minutes
✅ Reno13 Pro (80W charging): Charged in slightly less time
This improvement in charging efficiency highlights Oppo’s advancements in battery and charging technology, ensuring users get more usage time with quicker recharging.
