Oppo is running ColorOS 13 beta program for multiple devices worldwide. The Oppo Reno 8 and the Oppo K10 5G, which also goes by Oppo A77 5G and Oppo A57 5G, joined the initiative in October.

A month later, these smartphones have now started receiving the stable update. The Android 13-based software for these two phones is being rolled out in India, China, and the UAE.

As per the November schedule, the Oppo Reno 8 and Oppo K10 5G were supposed to get the Android 13-based ColorOS 13 stable update on November 18. But in usual Oppo fashion, the phones started receiving them earlier.

Oppo began to push the update for the Oppo K10 5G, Oppo A77 5G, and Oppo A57 5G on November 16 (2 days earlier). As mentioned earlier, the three are basically the same phones with different names. The update is available in India for the K10 5G, the UAE for the A77 5G, and China for the A57 5G.

Similarly, the update rollout for the Oppo Reno 8 5G started on November 17 (a day earlier). For this handset, the update is only available in India and China.

The Android 13 stable update for the aforementioned smartphones is being rolled out in batches. Hence, it will take time to reach every user.

Either way, if you own any of these handsets in the mentioned countries, then head over to Settings to check whether your unit has received the software update.

Just before the Diwali festive season, Flipkart and Amazon are beginning to kick off their sales on their respective e-commerce platforms. This includes the Amazon Great Indian Festival and Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale, which are both set to start on September 23. But, the latter has already began offering some smartphones with great discounts, so let’s have a look at the great offers from Oppo.

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. This model is an upper mid range handset that offers capable specs like Dimensity 1300 SoC and a 50 megapixel triple camera setup on the rear. It also sports a 6.4 inch AMOLED display that has a 90Hz refresh rate as well (Check out our review here).

During the sale, those that are looking to buy the new phone can find this on Flipkart for a price tag of just 29,999 INR. When adding the various bank offers, this price falls even lower. Axis Bank and ICICI Bank card holders can avail an additional 1,000 INR discount, while there is also an ICICI credit card discount of 2,250 INR. This basically brings down the price to just 26,749 INR. But we’re not done yet, since Flipkart is also offering an extra 3,000 INR discount upon exchange of select smartphone models, which should bring its price down to just 23,749 INR that makes it an attractive deal.

Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G

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. Since its a more premium model, its design also includes a glass pack panel compared to the plastic one on the Reno 8. Meanwhile, the front sports a large 6.7 inch AMOLED panel that has a 120Hz refresh rate and even supports HDR10+.

The Reno 8 Pro has a price tag of 52,999 INR, making it an entry flagship level smartphone. However, the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale offers this device for a discounted price of just 45,999 INR. Arriving at the offers, Axis and ICICI Bank Card holders can avail a 1,500 INR discount, with ICICI credit card users getting an additional 1,500 INR discount, which brings the price down to just 42,999 INR. But, the exchange offer on select phones applies here as well, and another 4,000 INR off helps bring the price down to around 38,999 INR.

Oppo F19 Pro+ 5G

Another notable deal being offered on Flipkart is the F19 Pro+ 5G. This is another mid range smartphone from the company that is equipped with a Dimensity 800U. For optics, it features a 48 megapixel quad camera setup on the rear. Meanwhile, the front sports a 6.43 inch Super AMOLED display that has a FHD+ resolution and standard 60Hz refresh rate.

This Oppo model was launched in India for a price of 25,990 INR. But now, the device is being sold for just 17,990 INR during the Big Billion Days sale. Furthermore, another 10 percent instant discount is also being offered to Axis Bank and ICICI Ban card holders, with partial payment available via Supercoins, which brings its price tag down to around just 15,990 INR.

Oppo Reno 7 Pro

Earlier this year, the company had also launched the Reno 7 series. The Reno 7 Pro model was the higher end variant and features some notable specs and a gorgeous design (Check out our review here). The rear features a 50 megapixel triple camera setup, with the camera module being surrounded by the Orbit Light for notifications. Under the hood, it houses a Dimensity 1200 MAX SoC and the front sports a 6.55 inch AMOLED display that supports HDR10+ and 90Hz refresh rate.

With all of these specs, it was also a great offering for a budget flagship experience since it had a price tag of 47,999 INR. Although, this model is currently available for just 34,999 INR during the Flipkart Big Billion Days Sale. Additionally, there are also additional discounts available thanks to bank offers like 10 percent instant discount to Axis Bank and ICICI Bank card holders, with an additional 1,500 INR discount to ICICI credit card owners and an instant 3,000 discount on credit and debit card transactions. This basically brings its price down to around just 28,999 INR.

Oppo is running alpha and beta programs of Android 13-based ColorOS 13 for multiple smartphones in different markets. The Oppo Reno 8 5G and Oppo K10 5G are the latest handsets to join the alpha initiative.

Oppo only reveals dates for open beta and stable rollouts. Hence, the ColorOS 13 alpha program for the aforementioned phones comes as a surprise.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the alpha registrations for these devices ran from September 7 to 10 in India. The company had only allocated 100 seats for each smartphone.

We do not know if the firm will be recruiting more alpha testers. However, the handsets are scheduled to receive open beta builds in October. Hence, interested users can enroll in that initiative next month.

As far as stable release is concerned, we think it may happen in November at the earliest. Because Oppo has a track recording of rolling out the stable update a month after the release of the open beta.

It is worth noting that apart from India, the ColorOS 13 alpha program for Oppo Reno 8 5G is also live in China. Interestingly, the company is yet to make announcements for other markets. Maybe, these regions will get direct access to open beta, followed by stable.

Flipkart is all set to begin its annual mega sale event called ‘Big Billion Days’ in India sometime later this month. Ahead of that, the Walmart-owned eCommerce giant has started to reveal deals on certain products. At the same time, the retailer is already selling select products at deal prices before the event.

Going through Flipkart, we came across good deals on two lifestyle smartphones that you may be interested in. These devices are Oppo Reno 8 and Motorola Edge 30.

The highlights of the Reno 8 include design, 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera, and 80W fast wired charging support. On the other hand, the Edge 30 is currently the thinnest 5G smartphone, which also runs close to stock Android with support for Ready For.

Talking about price, the Oppo Reno 8 is priced at ₹29,999 for the single 8GB + 128GB memory configuration. Whereas, the Motorola Edge 30 costs ₹27,999 and ₹29,999 for 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB variants, respectively.

But right now, as part of the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale, you can order them at a lower price using appropriate credit/debit cards.

Oppo Reno 8 Flipkart Big Billion Days Deal

Using credit cards issued by either ICICI Bank or Axis bank lowers the price of Oppo Reno 8 by ₹3,250. The total discount amount includes a ₹1,000 instant discount, an extra ₹1,500 off, and another extra ₹750 off.

Hence, the Oppo Reno 8 can be currently ordered for ₹26,749. 

But it is worth noting that Flipkart is actually teasing the lowest offering price of ₹23,749. This suggests that the phone’s listing price could be discounted by ₹3,000 during the actual Big Billion Days sale event.

Therefore, we would urge you to wait if you are not in a hurry to purchase.

Motorola Edge 30 Flipkart Big Billion Days Deal

Flipkart has discounted the two memory variants of Motorola Edge 30 by ₹3,000. Hence, their listing price has come down to ₹24,999 (6GB + 128GB) and ₹26,999 (8GB + 128GB).

On top of this, customers can avail of an additional ₹2,250 discount using credit cards issued by either Axis Bank or ICICI Bank. The total discount amount comprises a ₹1,500 instant discount and an extra ₹750 off.

As a result, the effective price of Motorola Edge 30 lowers down to ₹22,749 and 24,749 for 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 128GB memory versions, respectively.

The post Now’s the Best Time to Buy Motorola Edge 30, Oppo Reno 8 in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

It is not uncommon to see Chinese smartphones being rebranded across different markets in the world with a different model name to cater to the specific markets. The main Chinese tech conglomerates which practice this business tactic are respectively Xiaomi (with its sub-brands Xiaomi, Redmi and Poco) and the BBK Group (with its sub-brands Oppo, Realme, Narzo, OnePlus, Vivo and iQOO).

However, what if say the next-generation smartphone had the exact same specs as the last generation release? 

This may be a first for the industry, as the latest Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G released in Southeast Asia last month, has the exact same, fully identical specifications as the previous generation Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G which was also released in the Southeast Asia market as well. 

Don’t believe it? Here’s a comparison table for you to check the specs yourself.

As you can see here, the new Reno 8 Z has the same Snapdragon 695 5G SoC under the hood, the same 6.43” 60Hz screen with identical brightness specs, the same 4500 mAh battery, the same 33W SuperVOOC charging, the same triple camera setup, even the same 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and even the same 128GB of UFS 2.2 base storage.

The only difference between the two phones is just the back camera island, which has been extended to the plastic frame of the device. But even the camera placement on the module remains unchanged, and the phone has even gotten thicker and heavier at 181g (Oppo Reno 8 Z) compared to the 173g on the Oppo Reno 7 Z.

And the crazier fact, the Oppo Reno 7 Z (and Oppo Reno 8 Z) has been rebranded and re-released for many Asian and European markets in 2022 under many aliased names. Here is a quick rundown of what the device is named in other markets:

1. Oppo Reno 7 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), March 2022
2. Oppo F21 Pro 5G – India, April 2022
3. OnePlus Nord N20 5G – North America, April 2022
4. Oppo Reno 7 Lite – Europe, April 2022
5. Oppo Reno 8 Lite – Spain, June 2022
6. Oppo Reno 8 Z 5G – Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines), August 2022

Whether it be the chip shortage or the lack of competition in the space, it is unclear why innovation is stagnant for both Oppo and OnePlus smartphones in 2022. However, as smartphone consumers ourselves, we should be aware of the company’s practices and their device releases before purchasing a device. And this time around, the Oppo Reno 8 Z is literally just a previous generation smartphone repackaged in a new body to be sold.

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.

Until then, do check out the top new features in ColorOS 13. Also, take a look at the list of eligible devices and their update schedule.

Back in May, OPPO launched the Reno 8 series of smartphones in China. The device later made its debut in the global market starting in India. However, it is still not available in many other regions.

Now, OPPO has released a new teaser confirming that the Reno 8 5G will be launched in the Philippines on September 1. The teaser does not clarify if the brand will also debut the Reno 8 Pro in the country on that date.

OPPO Reno 8, Reno 8 Pro specs

The standard Reno 8 has a 6.43-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. The Reno 8 Pro, on the other hand, has a larger 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of 120Hz.

The base model is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC. Meanwhile, the Reno 8 Pro is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX chipset. Furthermore, the company includes its MariSilicon X NPU in the higher-end model, which will aid in image quality enhancement. The Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro’s 4,500mAh battery pack is capable of fast charging at up to 80W. Notably, both models have a fingerprint scanner built into the touchscreen.

The vanilla variant’s optics include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel secondary shooter, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The Reno 8 Pro comes equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. The Reno 8 series has a 32-megapixel front-facing sensor for selfies.

In recent months, a bunch of new mid-range smartphones have greeted the Indian market. These include the iQOO Neo 6, the OnePlus Nord 2T, the POCO F4, the Redmi K50i, and the OPPO Reno 8.

These devices differ a lot from each other when it comes to specifications and pricing, however, how do they fair against one another when it comes to battery life? To find the answer to this question, MySmartPrice conducted a battery drain test of the above-mentioned smartphones. So, let’s take a look at the findings.

A battery charging test precedes the battery test under consideration. All of the cellphones have been fully discharged, and the posted times reflect a complete 0 to 100 percent charge cycle. With a 4,500mAh battery, the OPPO Reno 8, POCO F4, and OnePlus Nord 2T require 27, 56, and 34 minutes, respectively, to charge. The Redmi K50i, which has the largest 5,080mAh battery pack, requires a significant 1 hour and 4 minutes to fully charge, while the iQOO Neo 6, with its slightly larger 4,700mAh battery, requires about 41 minutes.

The two-hour video playback test, which the devices undertake with a full battery backup, kicks off the battery drain test. The Reno 8 has the least amount of battery left after the speaker test, with only 67%. Through the first two tests, every other device keeps at least 75% of its charge.

Following the media playback tests, we jump to the CPU stress tests using Geekbench 5 and Antutu. After 3 hours of running the benchmarks, the Reno 8 has only 40% charge left, while the iQOO Neo 6 has the highest charge remaining of the bunch at 57%.

A one-hour-long gaming session comes next with BGMI being the game of choice. After the game session, the Redmi K50i retained the most charge level at 35%m which was followed by the iQOO Neo 6 and POCO F4 at 33%. The Reno 8 got the closest to the red line at 20%.

The game round is followed by a camera round, and it is noticed that the OPPO Reno 8 has reached its final 2 percent of charge after having been used for around 4.5 hours. Even with only 10% of its battery charged, the Nord 2T isn’t far behind. Everyone else keeps their cool even with more than 20% of the battery left.

The final nail in all the coffins is the following challenge, a social media usage challenge. The Redmi K50i is the winner of the challenge as a result of this. This battery is not only the biggest of the bunch, but it also has the best battery drainage rate (measured in mAh/min) and lasts for a full 6 hours, 45 minutes.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, the Reno 8 Pro India variant is also confirmed to feature the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 MAX chipset.

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.

Back in May, Oppo launched the Reno 8 series in China. The devices are now set to launch in the Indian market next week (July 18). Like the global variants, the Indian variants will also consist of two models – the Oppo Reno 8 and the Oppo Reno 8 Pro. Ahead of the launch, Oppo has officially teased the specifications of both the Reno 8 and the Reno 8 Pro. So, let’s take a look.

Starting off with the Pro model, Oppo has confirmed that it’ll have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. It will have a streamlined unibody design that is just 7.34mm thick excluding the camera bump.

Under the hood, the smartphone will house the MediaTek 8100-Max chipset that will offer up to a 12 percent increase in performance and 50 percent improvement in power efficiency over the last year’s Reno 7 Pro Dimensity 1200-Max SoC. Other than that, the device will have the MariSilicon X NPU, 4K Night video capability, and a cooling system with graphite sheets.

The vanilla Reno 8 model on the other hand is confirmed to house a Dimensity 1300 chipset. This SoC offers up to 40 percent better performance and 20 percent better power efficiency than the Dimensity 900 featured in last year’s Reno 7. Other than that, the device will have a VC liquid cooling system, will offer two flagship Sony camera sensors, and will have a slim body like the Pro model.

A Twitter teaser also reveals that the Reno 8 series will feature a 4500mAh battery paired with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging.

Earlier reports have hinted that the Reno 8 will debut in India with a starting price of ₹29,999. The Pro model on the other hand will be priced between ₹42,000 and ₹46,000.

The post Oppo Reno 8 series chipset, battery & other details teased ahead of Indian launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

OPPO has confirmed that the Reno 8 series will be available in India on July 18th. It stated that the Reno 8 Pro’s philosophy is based on the Golden Ratio from Sacred Geometry.

OPPO said that it employed an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass 5 for its construction to be durable. Additionally, the camera module has been integrated with the rest of the handset’s back thanks to heat-forged and molded glass that creates an ergonomically streamlined unibody. This new design is the result of more than a hundred revisions and more than 400 days of work.

The company shared today that Reno 8 Pro’s design is based on the Golden Ratio (1:.618), a mathematical proportion that is in its nature aesthetically attractive. OPPO added that its designers used the same proportion to section the rear camera module on the handset—both laterally and vertically—to create a similarly pleasing aesthetic.

Reno is sleeker than its predecessors

To create the Reno 8 Pro’s streamlined unibody design, OPPO’s engineers observed how users hold their phones. The entire back of the phone is made of a single piece of glass that has been heat-forged and pressure molded to form the soft curves needed for the camera module.

To ensure smoothness, a graphite mold was created and hand-polished with three diamond sheets of varying roughness. OPPO used eight nanometer-scale polishing processes to remove wrinkles caused by high-temperature forging and molding around the camera module, ensuring a surface fineness of 1-2 nanometers.

Additionally, the camera module was created by OPPO’s designers to mirror the Reno 8 Series’ image capabilities. The crew created the famous binocular camera setup to imitate two film reels as a tribute to the classic. This also uses the infinity sign and the number “8” to signify the smartphone’s position in the Reno Series and its extensive imaging power.

Likewise, the nearby ring flash is visible and seamlessly integrates into the lens. A system capable of producing appropriate fill light when the camera is in use and has been built using two circular dual flashes.

The OPPO Reno 8 Pro will be available in two colors: Glazed Green and Glazed Black while the Reno 8 will be available in two colors: Shimmering Gold, which is achieved through a precise combination of dual textures and coatings, as well as OPPO Glow printing, and Shimmering Black, which is distinct from pure black because it resembles a starry night sky.

According to the company, the 4K Ultra Night Video feature will provide professional-grade night image quality with sharp details and vibrant colors. The company has set the phone’s launch in Malaysia for July 21st, even though it has yet to formally tease further features in India and has teasers for feature revelation until July. There, it was verified that the phone sports a streamlined unibody design, where the camera and back cover are perfectly combined into a new, attractive one-piece design, as well as 80W SuperVOOC charging, which can charge the phone up to 50% in 11 minutes.

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.
