After multiple leaks and rumors, Oppo has officially disclosed the Oppo Reno 8 series. As rumors have said, we have three smartphones, the three usual variants, coming at the same time. Namely, the company introduced the Oppo Reno 8, Reno 8 Pro, and Reno 8 Pro+. Each device comes with its particularities and prices. One interesting thing to note is that the company has really managed to pioneer the recently released Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Shortly after this chipset’s release, the Oppo Reno 8 series becomes the first to introduce smartphones with this chip. Without further ado, let’s see what each device brings to the table.
Oppo Reno 8 specifications
The Oppo Reno 8 flaunts a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. The panel has a peak brightness of 800 nits and has a cover of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The handset comes paired with 12 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Under the hood, the phone comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC. This chip was also unleashed earlier this year and stands as an upgraded Dimensity 1200 chipset.
In terms of optics, the Reno 8 flaunts a triple-camera setup. Unfortunately, there is no ultrawide shooter in this package. There is a 50 MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture, a 2 MP monochrome snapper, and a 2 MP macro shooter. There is also a 32 MP Sony IMX709 shooter on the front for selfies. The phone draws its powers from a 4,500 mAh battery and offers support for 80W fast charging.
The device also sports the MariSilicon X NPU which boasts AI capabilities. Unfortunately, this camera setup does not offer much diversity. Other features include an in-display fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB Type-C port, 7.67 mm thickness, and 179 grams of weight.
