Battery Life
Battery life of the Reno 10x should be quite good, thanks to the more conservative screen as well as the large 3975mAh battery. It will be interesting how Oppo has balanced out the SoC’s DVFS behaviour given that the phone is amongst the more conservative Snapdragon 855 phones out there.
In the web-browsing test, the Reno 10x ends up averagely in the upper half of devices. In terms of comparisons, we can contrast the Reno 10x to the Galaxy S10+ - both have the same SoC and battery capacity. The S10+ seems to leads the Reno due to the fact it’s employing a newer generation display panel that manages to be more efficient, even though it’s higher resolution.
In PCMark the Reno 10x takes the lead and really showcases its more conservative performance turning, which directly translates into more power efficient operation on the part of the SoC.
Overall, the Reno 10x is amongst the longest lasting devices out there. Oppo’s choice to tune down the DVFS and scheduler performance a bit paid off in terms of power efficiency of the phone, largely counter-acting the fact that it doesn’t quite have the newest generation or most efficient screen out there.

Everytime I get excited by new phones I check the weight and am shocked at how heavy they are. The iPhone XR is very wide and heavy also, all these phones are 190g to 250g.I'll take the LG G8 or Samsung S10 just for the weight savings (150-160g), I'll keep the notch or hole instead.

Phones get bigger and the weight scale of phone materials tends to follow the famed "premium feel" scale (polycarbonate<aluminum<glass<ceramic<steel) promoted for years.This is larger than an S10+ or a G8 but other than that is there anything in particular that would make it heavier than any other phone with Gorilla Glass front and back and steel frame? Wonder if the mechanical motorized slide-out camera is a major contributor.

Wow, the thing that matters the absolute least out of every aspect of a phone..Alistair - Wednesday, September 18, 2019 - link
If you use it a lot and you feel fatigued because it is too heavy or hard to hold, that is the most important aspect of a "mobile" phone.Alistair - Wednesday, September 18, 2019 - link
Like how people don't care about the weight of their laptop, unless their use case is carrying it around in their backpack all day.StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, September 18, 2019 - link
It's not the end of the world.250g isn't significant, I work out... If it's an issue for you, perhaps you should too?

It's about the perception of the weight, the extra 250g can very well make you uncomfortable during travel.nils_ - Sunday, September 22, 2019 - link
That's the part where I care about it the least, though I generally don't care as much about the weight or height. If the compromise is between weight/height and performance/cooling, I'd rather have more performance.Notmyusualid - Sunday, October 6, 2019 - link
Whimp.
