Oppo’s out to capture hearts and minds and its first major foray into the market, the Reno 5, is an admirable effort. It combines some very high-end features with a reasonable price to tempt you to try out what the new guy has to offer. We think it’s working.

The Reno 5’s build is solid, even if that rear plate is lighter than it looks. Oppo’s visual presentation is top-notch and the phone oozes quality from its substantial rear camera bump to the in-screen fingerprint reader.

ELECTRIC CAR OF THE YEAR - VOLVO C40 RECHARGE

The first Volvo in SA that was only available in an EV format, this crossover balances in-car features with its all-electric nature and delivers a pleasing meld of the power you'd expect from a car that costs over a million and range that makes filling a gas tank seem like the relic of a past left forgotten.
