The Oppo Reno 8 for India is almost identical to the model sold in China. The only difference between the two is their camera setup. The Indian version has an 8MP ultrawide unit instead of a 2MP depth sensor like the Chinese variant.
The handset is priced at ₹29,999 for the single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration in India. This means it is ₹1,000 costlier than its predecessor Oppo Reno 7 but costs the same as the last year’s Oppo Reno 6.
The Oppo Reno 8 series arrives with a new design inspired by the Oppo Find X series and the Samsung Galaxy S lineup. However, unlike the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, the Oppo Reno 8 has a plastic frame instead of metal.
The Oppo Reno 8 comes with a 6.4-inch 90Hz AMOLED display, Mediatek Dimensity 1300 SoC, LPDDR4x RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, 50MP (Sony IMX766) + 8MP (ultrawide) + 2MP (macro) triple camera system, and a 32MP Sony IMX709 selfie camera.
Finally, it has a single bottom-firing speaker, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a 4,500mAh battery with support for 80W SuperVOOC wired fast charging.
Going by its features, the Oppo Reno 8 brings little to no upgrades over its predecessors. Also, it competes with multiple other phones in this price segment. Hence, we have compiled a list of alternatives that you may be interested in.
