Create and Construct

The Oppo Reno8 Pro was first released in July 2022 and it is a premium glass phone (Corning Gorilla Glass 5) with an aluminum frame that has a smooth, streamlined unibody design. With dimensions of 6.34 x 2.91 x 0.30 inches (161.2 x 74.2 x 7.6 mm) and a weight of 6.46 ounces (183g), it is very thin and lightweight. It comes in Glazed Green and Glazed Black and besides the in-display fingerprint sensor that is included, the punch-hole display is also there. Since it doesn’t have an official IP rating, it is not very resistant to water.

• Aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 5
• No IP rating
• In-display fingerprint sensor
• Punch-hole display
• USB-C 2.0 port
• Dual Nano-SIM

The Reno8 Pro has no wireless charging feature in order to keep it thin. The high-quality construction of the device has been appreciated, however, the lack of water resistance and a back that gets easily smudged are the two main issues that were highlighted.

Oppo Reno8 Pro Display

The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen provides a resolution of 1080 x 2412 (394 PPI) and a 120Hz refresh rate which makes the visuals more fluid. It is HDR10+ compatible and it can emit 500 nits typical and 950 nits peak brightness which is enough for it to be clearly visible. It is covered with Gorilla Glass 5 that protects the screen from scratches.

• 6.7-inch AMOLED
• 1080 x 2412 (394 PPI)
• HDR10+ support
• 500 nits (typical), 950 nits (peak)
• 120Hz refresh rate
• Gorilla Glass 5

The display is perfect for media and gaming but it does not have an Always-On Display. The vibrant colors were noted by reviewers, however, they also pointed out the punch-hole camera's minor intrusion.

Software and Processor

The Reno8 Pro is driven by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max chip which has an 8-core CPU (4x Cortex-A78 at 2.85 GHz, 4x Cortex-A55 at 2.0 GHz) and a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU. It also has a 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, which allows it to reach flagship-level performance. ColorOS 12.1 running on Android 12 guarantees 2 years of OS updates.

• Dimensity 8100-Max chipset
• 12GB RAM
• Storage: 256GB
• ColorOS 12.1 (Android 12)

The chipset is responsible for gaming and multitasking which it does with no problems at all. However, ColorOS bloatware is a small issue.

Camera System

The triple rear camera is composed of a 50MP primary (f/1.8, PDAF, Sony IMX766), 8MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 112° FOV), and 2MP macro (f/2.4). The 32MP front camera (f/2.4) is capable of 1080p recording. Among the features are 4K Ultra Night Video and Portrait Mode.

• Rear: 50MP main, 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro
• Front: 32MP
• Video: 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 60fps
• Modes: Night, Portrait, Macro

The primary camera performs very well in dim conditions, however the ultra-wide and macro are only so-so. The MariSilicon X NPU is also a big help for night photography.
