Beauty and Brains: Discovering the Stunning Design of the Oppo Reno8 T5G
The Oppo Reno8 5G has just strutted onto the smartphone scene, the latest glittering gem in the coveted Reno series of Oppo smartphones. The Reno line has long been known for two standout features: a knockout design and a camera that will make your heart skip a beat. The Reno8 5G does not disappoint in either department.
Now, some of you might be taken aback by the camera specs listed on paper. But trust us. The results will leave you awestruck – and all at a price that won’t leave you feeling like you need to take out a second mortgage. And let’s be real, this phone is an absolute showstopper to behold. Just try to resist its siren call.
But wait, there’s more! Oppo has outdone itself this time around by also focusing on performance. Typically, Oppo has skimped in this department, leaving customers wanting more. However, the Reno8 5G comes with a Mediatek Dimensity 1300 SoC, one of the top-notch chipsets in its price range. Trust us. You won’t regret investing in this little powerhouse of a phone.
Design
This phone is an absolute stunner with its striking design and colours, featuring shimmering gold and shimmering black colourways that will leave you mesmerized. As soon as you hold the Oppo Reno 8 5G in your hand, you’ll be captivated by its sleekness (a mere 7.67mm thick!) and its lightweight feel (just 179 grams).
The back panel is the real showstopper, with its colour-shifting abilities under sunlight that will amaze your jaw. The phone’s unibody design is also a first for the Reno Series, adding a touch of uniqueness to an already impressive phone. The back panel is a beautiful golden colour with a matte finish that feels oh-so-good to the touch. What’s even better is that the phone hardly attracts any dust or fingerprints, so you’ll always be able to show it off in its full glory.
The triple camera module on the back is an impressive feature, but the slight bump might prove to be a bit of a nuisance as it makes the phone wobble when placed on a flat surface. The right side of the device features a power button, while the top side has a secondary microphone. The left edge houses the volume rockers, and the bottom edge is home to a USB Type-C port, primary microphone, SIM slot, and speaker grille. The only downside is the missing 3.5mm headphone jack, which is a bummer.
Despite this minor drawback, the physical volume and power buttons offer excellent tactile feedback, creating a satisfying user experience.
Display
Prepare to have your senses blown away by the Oppo Reno 8 5G’s stunning 6.4-inch AMOLED display, complete with an FHD resolution. Feast your eyes on a display that showcases colours and contrast as you’ve never seen before, with the option to choose between Natural and Vivid presets that cater to your every whim. Trust us. The viewing experience is top-notch – the blacks are deep, and the images are detailed, leaving you in awe.
And let’s not forget about the cherry on top: the 90Hz refresh rate that makes the display ultra-smooth and perfect for gaming. You won’t experience any lag or glitches here—just a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience.
The bottom-firing speaker may be just average, but the peak brightness is still pretty decent. Plus, the Video Color Boost feature might just blow your mind (or your eyes!) but beware: it might consume more battery life than you’re used to.
Camera
The true star of this phone undoubtedly lies in its impressive cameras. The device sports a triple camera configuration on its back. The primary shooter boasts a massive 50 megapixel and is fueled by none other than the Sony IMX766 sensor. However, it’s worth noting that, unlike the Realme 9 Pro Plus, this phone lacks OIS support. As for the secondary cameras, you can expect the usual suspects: an 8-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel macro snapper.
Regarding video recording, the rear camera can handle 4K at 30 fps or 1080p at 30 fps. While 60fps shooting is an option, it’s restricted to 1080p for the rear camera. To further sweeten the deal, the phone offers Ultra steady mode and dual video mode to help you capture your memories with even greater clarity and stability.
Battery
This phone is equipped with a mighty 4500mAh battery that lasts up to 2 days with light to moderate usage. So if you’re constantly scrolling through Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp (who isn’t these days, right?), you can rest assured that your phone won’t die on you before bedtime.
But what if you need a quick boost? Well, the Oppo Reno 8 5G has you covered there too! It comes with an 80W SuperVOOC charger that can take your battery from 0 to 100% in under 30 minutes. Yup, you read that right – 30 minutes! So, even if you’re on the move, you can power up your phone in a jiffy and get back to your day without missing a beat.
And here’s another cool thing – the phone doesn’t heat up while charging, and the charger comes right inside the box, so you don’t have to worry about buying it separately.
Software and Biometrics
The Oppo Reno 8 5G is powered by Android 12 with ColorOS 12.1, providing users with a functional software experience. However, some users may find the software slightly underwhelming, as it comes with several preinstalled bloatware applications. While these applications can be removed, forcibly stopping them may impact the device’s performance.
Despite this minor drawback, navigating through the phone and switching between apps is a breeze, thanks to its efficient RAM management. Additionally, the Air Gestures feature by Oppo proves useful in enhancing the user experience.
Regarding security, the Oppo Reno 8 5G offers two biometric options – an in-display fingerprint scanner and face unlock. Both these options work seamlessly, providing users with fast and reliable ways to access their devices.
Performance and Connectivity
Oppo Reno 8 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset. With 8GB of RAM, you can kiss goodbye to pesky app crashes, and lag as multiple apps load up with lightning speed and run seamlessly in the background. And with a generous 128GB of storage, you’ll never have to fret over running out of space. And if that’s still not enough, the RAM can be extended by up to 5GB to meet all your needs.
As for connectivity, the Oppo Reno 8 is a true powerhouse, equipped with 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and WiFi 6. It’s a real future-proof wonder, built to keep you connected no matter where you go. And if you’re worried about dust and water damage, fear not – the device is safeguarded by a red rubber seal that wraps around the two Nano SIM card slots.
