Great news for Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G users in India – ColorOS 14, based on Android 14, is now up for grabs! The official version is open for application starting December 6th, giving users access to a host of new features and optimizations.

To snag the update, ensure your phone is on version CPH2357_13.1.0.590(EX01)/CPH2357_13.1.0.600(EX01). Applying is a breeze – just head to Settings > About device > Tap the top of the page > Tap the icon on the top right > Trial versions > Official version > Apply Now. Once done, detect and download the update.

Before you dive in, back up your crucial data to avoid any potential loss during the update. Post-update, the Operating System might do some automatic optimizations, causing temporary heating, lagging, or faster battery draining. No worries – either turn off the screen and charge overnight or keep using the device; things should normalize within a few days.

Heads up: Some third-party apps might not play nice with Android 14 post-update, leading to unavailability or technical glitches like lagging and crashing. Quick fix – update these apps to the latest versions available in the App Market.

In other updates, Oppo has announced its schedule for a stable release of ColorOS 14 set for December. The stable update for the Reno 10 Pro+ has been launched today, and smartphones such as the F23 5G, A78 5G, and Reno 7 are expected to receive the Android 14 update in the upcoming days.

The post Oppo Reno 8 Pro gets ColorOS 14 x Android 14 stable update in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

At the launch of the Reno 8 series, which was a couple of months ago, Oppo said that its users would receive two major OS upgrades and four years of security updates. As promised, both devices have received the latest Android 13 OS upgrade, which is overlaid with the company’s latest ColorOS 13 UI. Aquamorphic effects throughout the UI, new Always-On Display animations, the Meeting Assistant, Multi-Screen Connect, the Dynamic Computing Engine, and enhanced privacy and security features are some of the major highlights of ColorOS 13. Here is a review of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G.

What’s in the box?

The OPPO Reno 8 Pro 5G retail package has the following contents:

• Oppo Reno 8 Pro handset
• Transparent case
• SIM ejector tool
• 80W charger
• USB-C to USB-A cable
• User manual
• Safety Guide

Design and Display

The Oppo Reno 8 Pro has a glass back and an aluminum frame. The camera bump melts into the rear shell of the device. Overall, it has a premium appeal. On the front, there is an earpiece integrated with a speaker above the display punch-hole. The chin of the device is quite thin, which allows it to offer 93.4 percent screen space, as OPPO claims.

In September, I got the opportunity to visit the Oppo lab in Noida, India. During my visit, the company stated that the Reno 8 series is built to last because it undergoes over 300 rigorous durability and quality tests, such as free fall tests, extreme temperature tests, and others, before releasing it to the market. 

The Oppo Reno 8 Pro has a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a centrally positioned punch-hole. The display simply looks gorgeous thanks to those super-slim bezels that you would normally see on a flagship phone. For a better viewing experience, while watching videos, the O1 Ultra Vision Engine offers features like Image Sharpner (upscale videos), Video Color Boost, and Bright HDR video mode. Speaking of brightness, the screen supports up to 950 nits of brightness. It offers two color profiles, Natural (sRGB color gamut) and Vivid (DCI-P3 color gamut). The colors appear more saturated on the latter.

The Reno 8 Pro offers Standard (60Hz) and High (120Hz) refresh rate options. The 120Hz RR translates to a smoother experience throughout the UI. The phone supports playback of HD content from OTT platforms as well as 4K HD YouTube videos. The display is also good for playing games.

Oppo Reno 8 Pro – ColorOS 13 key features

The ColorOS 13-based Android 13 OS upgrade for the Oppo Reno 8 Pro weighs 2.70GB. It also includes the October Android security update.

The ColorOS 13 does not offer a completely different user interface as compared to the older ColorOS 12. Instead, the new version packs several new improvements to offer an overall enhanced user experience. 

Aquamorphic Design: The ColorOS 13 offers a fluid experience just like the fluidity of water. Hence, the system animation and transitions appear softer and more natural. The system theme palette is inspired by the changing color of light between sunrise and sunset.

Fonts, Icons, and Layouts: The fonts are more reader-friendly even if the ColorOS 13 is used in different languages. The redesigned icons are also easily readable. The adaptive layouts provide consistent layouts on Oppo devices with different-sized screens. In addition, it offers a card-style layout, which offers different-sized cards in the Settings and first-party apps.

Enlarged Folder on Homescreen: A folder housing multiple apps on the homescreen can be kept in an enlarged state. It enables users to open internal apps with a single tap rather than opening the folder.

Quantum Animation Engine 4.0: ColorOS 13 is equipped with Quantum Animation Engine 4.0, which focuses on offering an intuitive experience by reducing as many steps as possible. With Behavioural Prediction, it reduces steps for a better navigation experience by prioritizing intended commands while using gestures.

Omoji for contacts: The Oppo Contact app can use Omoji avatars to show cute, moving characters for your favourite contacts when a call comes in.

System Illustrations: Instead of showing empty spaces throughout the UI, ColorOS 13 shows some interesting illustrations.

Quick Settings: The Quick Settings user experience has been improved. One of the improvements is that it shows media playback control.

Shelf: A swipe down on the homescreen opens the Shelf, which gives access to widgets, useful tools, and a global search.

Always-On Display:  ColorOS 13 has some interesting AOD images, including “homeland,” that showcase endangered species like clownfish, polar bears, and penguins to remind users to take greater care of their environments. There are some new AODs that offer real-time information from third-party food delivery apps like Zomato / Swiggy, which show the status of the order, and Spotify. At present, only the Spotify AOD is working. Other AOD options include Bitmoji AOD and Insight AOD.

Multi-Screen Connect: The Multi-Screen Connect has been improved to offer seamless connectivity between Oppo phones and the Oppo Pad Air, as well as between Oppo phones and PC. The mirrored Oppo phone can be used to sync clipboards, sync notifications, and file transfer. In addition, it can display up to three separate screens for each app, as shown above.

Meeting Assistant: When an online meeting is going on, the Meeting Assistant can automatically detect it and optimize the network and simplify notifications to reduce distractions.

Privacy: For chat screenshots, it offers a pixelate feature, that automatically pixelates profile photos and display names. Private Safe, which allows users to store sensitive data like photos, videos, and files, can now be secured using the widely used Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

Performance improvements: Dynamic Computing Engine available on the ColorOS 13 can enhance system speed, stability, battery life, and app experience. The HyperBoost GPA 4.0 can stabilize the frame rate and reduce power consumption while playing games.

ColorOS 13 rollout status

The stable ColorOS 13 version based on Android 13 is available for devices like the Find X5, Find X5 Pro, Reno 8 Pro 5G, Reno 8 5G, K10 5G, F21 Pro, F21 Pro 5G, K10, A76, and Oppo A96.

The beta version of the OS upgrade is available for multiple devices, like the Reno 7 Pro 5G, Reno 7 5G, Reno 6 Pro 5G, Reno 6 5G, Reno 5 Pro 5G, F19 Pro+, and A74.

Photography and Other Features

The triple camera setup available on the Reno 8 Pro is the same as that available on the Realme GT Neo 3 and OnePlus 10R. Still, photography is one of the strengths of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, since it features the MariSilicon X chip. It misses out on Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) but comes with support for Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). With the MariSilicon X chip onboard, it manages to shoot clearer videos in low-light conditions. The Reno 8 Pro also does a good job shooting 4K videos with good color reproduction and dynamic range in low-light conditions.

The main camera performs well in low light, and the details are quite good, but not quite as sharp as during the day. The noise is noticeable in photos taken in less ideal conditions. By default, the camera captures 12.5-megapixel images. Since the camera shutter speed is fast, users can capture multiple shots of a moving object. Users can use the 50MP mode for detailed shots. The Extra HD mode shoots in 108.5-megapixel, but the result is similar to the 50-megapixel shots.

The portrait shots using the main camera capture photos with blurred backgrounds and more focus on the subject. The ultra-wide shots come out well when there is enough light. In low light, the details on ultra-wide images decrease. As far as the macro camera is concerned, it requires a couple of attempts to get decent images.

The Reno 8 Pro captures in 32-megapixel resolution only, which means users will end up with large files. The 21mm focal length allows it to accommodate more people in a single frame. Another good thing about the front camera is that it supports autofocus, which is not common in the upper mid-range segment, and even in the flagship segment.  The portrait selfies come with an impressive bokeh effect. It focuses on the subject well and does a good job at edge detection.

Shooting in low light is one of the strengths of the Reno 8 Pro, thanks to the MariSilicon X NPU onboard. In regular mode, the quality of the images is passable, but with the night mode on, it manages to capture brighter and better images with reduced noise.

Performance and Battery Life

The Dimensity 8100-Max, a customized version of the D1800 chip for Oppo phones, powers the Reno 8 Pro. The chip competes with the Snapdragon 888 chip from the Qualcomm camp. Like the flagship phones from 2021, the device offers LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1. With a massive 256GB of built-in storage onboard, the device does not offer a microSD card slot.

The bundled 80W charger can fully charge the Reno 8 Pro in just around 35 minutes. According to Oppo, the Reno 8 Pro promises 1600 charge cycles, and its Battery Health Engine (BHW) helps prolong the battery lifespan. In addition, the Reno 8 series will offer smooth performance even after 4 years. OPPO has made this claim after carrying out nearly 500 tests to achieve the 36-month Fluency Rating A mark from TÜV SÜD.

The gaming experience on the Reno 8 Pro is enhanced with a 360Hz touch sampling rate, stereo speakers, good haptic feedback via an X-axis linear motor, and an ultra-constructive cooling system. The placement of the fingerprint sensor seems to be a bit low. However, there is no issue with its performance. Also, I did not encounter any issues with its connectivity features.

The Reno 8 Pro will get the latest Android OS upgrades until the second quarter of 2024. It will also get security updates for four years. The ColorOS 13’s new improvements that I mentioned above enhance the overall experience on the Reno 8 Pro.

Verdict

In some markets, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro faces competition from phones like the OnePlus 10R and Realme GT Neo 3. These phones pack similar specs, but the Reno 8 Pro excels in the selfie photography department. The Reno 8 Pro misses out on OIS and packs a smaller battery compared to its competitors. However, the Reno 8 Pro is not only impressive in hardware but also offers better software and customer support.

Apart from black and green, there is a special limited-edition version called the Reno 8 Pro House of the Dragon, which comes in a special package that includes exclusive House of the Dragon-themed accessories. Readers can learn more about it here. It costs Rs 45,999 (~$554) and is available for purchase through Flipkart in India. The regular Oppo Reno 8 Pro is also priced at Rs 45,999.

Back in October, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro House of the Dragon Limited Edition Set was unveiled in India. Almost two months later, the company has now finally revealed the availability of this special version of the handset.

The device will be available for pre-order starting this week, followed by sale next week. Let’s take a look at the details shared by the brand.

Oppo has confirmed that the Oppo Reno 8 Pro House of the Dragon Limited Edition Set is an India exclusive. In other words, this version of the smartphone will not be sold officially in other regions. Therefore, for most people, the only way to get their hands on it is by importing it.

Talking about the cost, the special edition set is officially priced at ₹45,999. It costs the same as the regular version of the handset. It will be sold via Flipkart.

The device will be up for pre-order from December 8. It will be available for purchase starting December 13.

We are not sure why Oppo chose to release the House of the Daragon-themed Reno 8 Pro in India. The TV show is more popular in the western markets.

Above all, HBO, the original television network for the show, doesn’t have its direct presence in India anymore. Therefore, in this region, the TV series is actually streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, a streaming platform owned by The Walt Disney Company.

Oppo has partnered with Disney multiple times in the past for limited-edition smartphones. Hence, it’s good to see the company collaborating with Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of HBO, for a change. But the target market for the product doesn’t seem right.

All the leading Android OEMs are working on delivering Android 13 update to their devices for the past few months. Oppo is one of them and it was the first non-Google brand to start rolling out stable releases.

The company has now begun to seed the ColorOS 13 stable update based on Android 13 for one of its popular upper mid-range smartphones called Oppo Reno 8 Pro.

Oppo has started rolling out the Android 13 stable update with ColorOS 13 for the Oppo Reno 8 Pro. The phone originally goes by Oppo Reno 8 Pro Plus in China. This version is also receiving the said update. 

The handset joined the beta program in late September. This means it took the brand almost one and a half months to deliver the stable release.

Just like any other OTA software update, the ColorOS 13 stable for the Oppo Reno 8 Pro is also being pushed in batches. Therefore, it may take some time to reach every user.

According to official announcements, the update is currently live in India, Indonesia, and China. It should be available in other regions in the coming weeks.

Users of the phone in the aforementioned countries can head over to Settings to check whether their unit has received the Android 13 stable update. If you have got the update installed on your smartphone, then do let us know your experience in the comment section below.

HBO recently concluded the first season of “House of Dragons,” and we are still an eternity away from the next season. However, you can keep a taste of the Game of Thrones prequel series with the new show-inspired OPPO Reno 8 Pro smartphone.

OPPO today unveiled the Reno8 Pro 5G House of the Dragon Limited Edition Set, which comes with a special “House Targaryen” phone cover, a phone holder shaped like a dragon, and a golden dragon-like SIM ejector tool. In addition, the company has included a key chain featuring a three-headed dragon in the box.

Moreover, the set also comes with two collectible items. First is a small dragon egg and the other is a handwritten proclamation by King Viserys I Targaryen himself.

It is important to note that the smartphone itself is not carrying any changes in terms of design and appearance. Also, it comes with the same specifications as the standard OPPO Reno 8 Pro. The company is yet to announce the price and sale date of the device. It will be available for purchase through Flipkart, and its pre-orders will begin soon.

OPPO Reno 8 Pro specifications

Notably, the brand will only be rolling out this update to 5,000 users of the Reno 8 Pro 5G model. In other words, the major update’s beta program is also being launched in a staggered manner. Keep in mind that the beta version is not the official final build, so one can face minor bug issues or other forms of instability.

Oppo also shared some important details regarding this update, with the most important one stating that the new OS will “several actions to optimize your device automatically. It might lead to your device heating, lagging, and fast battery draining. We recommend you turn off the screen and charge your device for a whole night after updated success. Or keep using the device and it will become normal within a few days.”

Oppo Reno 8 5G

Starting off the list, we have the base Reno 8 5G model. This device is one of the latest models from the popular Reno series of smartphones and usually retails for around 38,999 INR in India.

The Reno 8 Pro 5G is the higher end variant in the new Reno 8 series. It packs a power MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX processor and features a more robust 50 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear.

A 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with HDR10+ support and a 120Hz refresh rate is included in the Reno 8 Pro.

A few days back, Oppo unveiled ColorOS 13 for the global markets. We even went hands-on with the software. Now, ahead of the software’s China debut tomorrow (August 30), the company is recruiting alpha testers for the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G.

Initially, ColorOS 13 was available in alpha/beta form for only four devices: Oppo Find X5, Oppo Find X5 Pro, Oppo Find N, and OnePlus 10 Pro. 

Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G, which also goes by Oppo Reno 8 Pro Plus 5G in China has now joined this list.

The alpha testing recruitment for the smartphone began on August 24 in China and already ended the very next day for the first batch. However, for the global markets, the registrations were opened on August 26 and it is scheduled to end only by September 2.

But out of all international markets, the alpha program is limited to India. On top of that, the firm has only allocated 100 seats. 

Therefore, if you are really interested in trying the new software before most users, then enroll yourself in the initiative as soon as possible. All you have to do is head over to Settings > About device and tap on the ColorOS logo, followed by the three-dot menu, Trial versions, and Alpha. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions and submit.

Selected applicants will receive the ColorOS 13 alpha build via OTA. It is not known whether this program for the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G will be extended to more regions. 

But what’s confirmed is that the handset will receive beta builds in India in September, which will be likely followed by the stable release as early as October.

The post 15 Unique Cases for Oppo Reno 8 Series appeared first on Gizmochina.

After teasing for days, Oppo finally unveiled ColorOS 13 today. The new iteration of the firm’s mobile operating system will be soon made available for a plethora of devices in the coming months. The beta program is already live in multiple regions for the first batch of phones. We now know when the rollout will begin in India as well.

Oppo will kickstart the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 Beta program in India in September. The Oppo Reno 8 Pro will be the first device in the country to receive the latest software, followed by Oppo Reno 8 in October.

Users of these handsets will be able to enroll themselves for the beta initiative when the registrations open. As always, we expect the company to allocate a limited number of seats, however, there could be multiple rounds of recruitment.

Going by Oppo’s update rollout performance for the past two years, we think that the ColorOS 13 stable update for the aforementioned phones should be live a month from the start of the beta program.

If you are our regular reader, you may be aware that we have been regularly covering ColorOS update rollout stories for a couple of years. This time won’t be different either. Hence, stay tuned to learn when the Reno 8 series and other smartphones get access to ColorOS 13 update in India as well as other markets.

Oppo will launch two Reno 8 models in the Indian market, the standard Oppo Reno 8, and the Oppo Reno 8 Pro. The former will launch with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC under the hood, while the latter will feature MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX flagship SoC.

The Oppo Enco X2 earbuds were launched earlier in the year in China with an in-ear style construction. Compared to its predecessor, the newer Oppo Enco X2 brings some notable upgrades such as support for Bluetooth 5.2, low latency 94ms Bluetooth transmission, IP54 dust and water resistance, and noise cancellation that can filter out noises of up to 45dB.

When paired with the charging case, the battery life of these earbuds can reach up to 20 hours with ANC on or 27 hours with ANC off. Buyers will also be glad to know that the earbuds support both USB-C wired charging, and Qi Wireless Charging to top up the battery.

Back in May 2022, Oppo announced the Reno 8 series in China. And now, the company is planning on launching the latest generation of its popular Reno series smartphones in India as well. So let’s have a look at their expected specs, design, and pricing in the region.

Oppo Reno 8 & Reno 8 Pro Design & Display

The Reno 8 series originally consisted of three handsets, although, the Chinese brand is only launching two models in the Indian market. This includes the base Reno 8 and the Reno 8 Pro model. However, the Reno 8 Pro is actually a rebrand of the higher end Reno 8 Pro+ model. Taking a look at their design, the base model sports a 6.43 inch AMOLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate. On the other hand, the Reno 8 Pro in India will sport a larger 6.7 inch AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate.

The base model has a punch hole cut out on the top left corner of the display, while the Pro model will have a center aligned punch hole selfie camera. On the rear, the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro features a large rectangular camera island on the top left corner of the rear panel. This module houses the triple camera setup. In recent times, the company has shifted its smartphone to offer a more flat design both on the front and rear.

Specifications

Under the hood, the base model is confirmed to be equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC. Meanwhile, the Reno 8 Pro India variant is also confirmed to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX chipset. Apart from this, the company will also ship the higher end model with its MariSilicon X NPU chip, which will help improve image quality.

For cooling, both models are also expected to come with a VC liquid cooling system. The Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro will be powered by a 4,500mAh battery pack that will support up to 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging as well. Notably, both models will also come with an in display fingerprint scanner.

Camera

While both the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro feature a triple camera setup, there are some differences in the camera module. The vanilla variant has a 50 megapixel primary sensor that is paired with a 2 megapixel secondary shooter, and a 2 megapixel macro lens. The Reno 8 Pro will feature a 50 megapixel primary camera along with an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. For the selfie shooter, the Reno 8 series will house a 32 megapixel front facing sensor.

Rumored Pricing

As of right now, Oppo has yet to reveal the official pricing for the Reno 8 series. However, a recent leak has given us a possible price tag for the two models. Reportedly, the Reno 8 will start from 29,990 INR (roughly 375 US Dollars) for its 8GB + 128GB model. It will also arrive in a 8GB + 256GB and a 12GB + 256GB variant that could cost 31,990 INR (roughly 400 US Dollars) and 33,990 INR (roughly 425 US Dollars) respectively.

Lastly, the Reno 8 Pro will apparently be offered in a sole 12GB + 256GB model that could have a price tag of 44,990 INR (roughly 563 US Dollars). Oppo is set to announce the Reno 8 series in India on July 18, so stick around as we will be covering the launch event.

The Oppo Reno 8 series launch in India is just around the corner. We had previously covered the launch timeline for the lineup and now, a new leak has revealed the launch date for the new smartphones.

According to a MySmartPrice report, the Chinese smartphone maker is planning on launching at least two models from the Reno 8 series for the Indian market. For those unaware, the brand has already launched the Reno 8 series in its home market of China. Now, the latest report has revealed that the new Reno 8 phones will be announced in India near the middle of next month on July 18.

The report further adds that the company might skip the Reno 8 Pro+ 5G model for the Indian market, rather, it will be rebranding the Reno 8 Pro+ 5G as the Reno 8 Pro 5G in India. In other words, we will only be seeing two out of the three smartphones next month. If the report is correct, then the Reno 8 Pro+ model in India will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 8100 SoC rather than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC since it is technically the Reno 8 Pro+ model rather than the actual Reno 8 Pro.

Additionally, the Indian variant of the Reno 8 Pro will sport a 6.7 inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. On the back, the device will feature a triple camera setup, which consists of a 50 megapixel primary sensor, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 2 megapixel macro sensor. The front houses a 32 megapixel selfie shooter.

The post OPPO Reno 8 series to launch in India by mid-July, Reno 8 Pro to pack MariSilicon X NPU appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last month, Oppo debuted the Reno 8 series smartphones in China. The series consists of three devices – Oppo Reno 8 Pro+, Oppo Reno 8 Pro, and the vanilla Reno 8.

The China version of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro+ comes with the Dimensity 8100 Max SoC, while the Reno 8 Pro and the Reno 8 come with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 and Dimensity 1300 chipsets respectively. Now, ahead of its global launch, the Reno 8 Pro has been spotted on the Geekbench database suggesting that the device will feature an entirely different chipset from the Chinese variant.

According to the listing, the Reno 8 Pro global variant has the model number CPH2357. It is powered by a chipset featuring an octa-core CPU with four cores clocked at 2.00GHz and the remaining four clocked at 2.85GHz. The SoC also brings along the Mali-G610 MC6 GPU making it pretty obvious that it is the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 (or 8100 Max) chipset.

Other than that, the listing reveals that the device has 12GB of RAM and runs Android 12 out of the box. Coming to the benchmark results, the device scores 898 points in the single-core test and 3555 in the multi-core test of Geekbench 5.

An earlier report from tipster PassionateGeekz has revealed that the Reno 8 Pro+ will not be launching in the Indian market. This could also be the case for the global variant, which is likely why the Reno 8 Pro model has the Dimensity 8100 (Max) chipset instead of the Snapdragon Gen 1 chipset.

Going with the possibility that the Reno 8 Pro+ model will be launched as the Reno 8 Pro global variant, we can expect a 6.7-inch Full HD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 950 nits of peak brightness. The device will likely combine the Dimensity 8100 Max chipset with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

For the camera system, the device will feature a triple camera setup consisting of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 primary sensor paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro unit. On the front, the smartphone will have a 2MP Sony IMX709 selfie snapper, and the device will also likely come equipped with the MariSilicon X NPU. Other than that, we can expect the device to come with a 4500mAh battery unit with 80W fast charging.

OPPO is gearing up to launch the Reno 8 series in the Chinese market on May 23. The upcoming smartphones have also been spotted on the company’s Indian website suggesting that they might soon debut in India after the Chinese launch.

Now, a new MySmartPrice report has revealed a high-definition render of an upcoming Reno 8 series device.

The report cites noted tipster Ishan Agarwal as the source of this new render. From the looks of it, the device looks quite similar to the previous render of the OPPO Reno 8, however, there are also some differences, especially with the camera island. Previous reports stated that the camera module will be similar to the one found on the OnePlus 10 Pro. But this render reveals that it has styling similar to the one found on the flagship Find X5 Pro model.

The camera bump smoothly rises from the rear panel giving it the feel of a uni-body design. Two of the bigger lenses have metallic rings around them and the edges of the smartphone are flat with rounded corners. Although the report doesn’t clearly say which model this render belongs to, the MariSilicon branding of the camera modules suggests that it might be the vanilla Reno 8 or the Reno 8 Pro, both of which are expected to come with the MariSilicon X NPU. Other than that, the render reveals four color options for the upcoming device – Black, Blue, Green, and Gold. We expect these colors to have different marketing names.

OPPO Reno 8 series specs (rumored)

So far, leaks suggest that the OPPO Reno 8 Pro will feature a 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED display while the vanilla variant will come with 6.62-inch Full HD+ E4 OLED display. Both models will have 120Hz refresh rates.

The vanilla variant is expected to come powered with the upcoming Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset while the Pro variant will have the Dimensity 8100-Max SoC. Both will get LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

The battery capacity of the devices will also be similar at 4,500mAh with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging. Coming to the optics, the devices are said to have a 32-megapixel IMX709 sensor for the selfie camera while the rear will house a triple camera setup headlined by an IMX766 sensor. Both devices will also bring OPPO’s self-developed MariSilicon X NPU to enhance the photography capabilities of the device.
