Oppo Reno 3 Youth

Overview
The Oppo Reno 3 Youth is yet another new variant under the Reno3 from OPPO Mobile. There are basically three key differences between the Reno 3 Youth and the standard version; First, this comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU as against the Mediatek CPU on the standard edition. Secondly, this has 48-megapixel main camera instead of the 64-megapixel sensor on the Reno 3 variant. And thirdly, a more recent Bluetooth 5.1 is used on this version. Apart from the above, virtually all other aspect remain same.
You are still getting a 6.4-inch Full-HD+ display, with 1080 x 2400 pixels resolution, a 2.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G octa-core processor and Adreno 620 GPU. The Oppo Reno 3 Youth is limited only to 8 GB RAM and 128 GB non-expandable internal storage.
On the camera department, you are getting four sensors at the back; there is a 48 MP wide angle shooter, featuring PDAF and f/1.8 aperture pegged with an ultra-wide 8 MP sensor with f/2.2 aperture, and two other 2-megapixel auxiliary sensors.
For selfie, a 32-megapixel sensor seats inside the notch above the screen. Security wise, there’s an in-screen fingerprint scanner and AI FaceID along with other Android locks. It also supports dual Nano-SIMs with 4G and 5G network on both SIMs. A large 4025mAh battery with 30W fast charging keeps the power on, with Android 10, underneath Color OS v7 out of the box. Other key specifications and features of the Oppo Reno 3 Youth are detailed in the table below.
