In order to attract a lot of customers, especially the ones who purchase offline, a phone must not only be powerful but also beautiful. The more beautiful it is, the more people will choose it. That is why companies like OPPO and Xiaomi focused a lot on design. Last year, Xiaomi launched a new series of phones mainly focused on the design and the selfie camera. This year, the series reached the second generation with the new Xiaomi Civi 2. It is a very beautiful phone, but it has some important rivals which may cannibalize its sales. One of them is the OPPO Reno8 5G, launched with a new design compared to the previous generation. If you are unsure about which one to choose (given that they are in the same price range), this is a comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Reno8 5G and the Xiaomi Civi 2.

OPPO Reno8 vs Xiaomi Civi 2

Design

The Xiaomi Civi 2 is one of the best devices of 2022 in terms of design. It is even more beautiful than the most advanced Xiaomi flagships released this year. It is obviously built with premium materials, including a glass back and an aluminum frame. With just 7.2 mm of thickness, it is one of the thinnest phones on the market, and with its weight of 171 grams even one of the most lightweight. Last but not least, it is the first Android phone with something similar to the new Apple’s Dynamic Island: it has a pill shaped punch hole placed centrally on the upper part of the display. The OPPO Reno8 comes with a very original design, including a camera module that protrudes gradually from the rear side of the phone. But it is built with a plastic frame and it is not as thin and lightweight as the Xiaomi, even though it remains a very thin phone.

Display

On the paper, the Xiaomi Civi 2 has a better display: not only it is wider with its diagonal of 6.55 inches, but it even comes with better specifications. It is an AMOLED panel able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, Dolby Vision support, the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1,000 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The OPPO Reno8 5G has an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.43 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 800 nits, and an in-display fingerprint scanner; it is not able to show up to one billion colors but it stops at 16 million colors. Unfortunately, none of these phones has stereo speakers and they do not even sport a 3.5 mm audio jack, so they are not the best for audio lovers.

Specs & Software

These two handsets are equipped with different processors, but they belong to the same range. The Xiaomi Civi 2 has the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform by Qualcomm: an octa-core chipset built with a 4 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 2.4 GHz. It is currently better than the chipset found on the OPPO Reno8 5G: the Dimensity 1300 by Mediatek, built with a 6 nm production process and sporting an octa-core architecture composed of a Cortex A78 CPU running at 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. The global version of the Reno8 has just 8 GB of RAM, while the Xiaomi Civi 2 reaches 12 GB of RAM in the Chinese version, just like the Chinese version of the OPPO. These phones run Android 12 out of the box, customized by MIUI 13 and ColorOS 12.1, respectively.

Camera

If you are looking for the most advanced camera department, go for the Xiaomi Civi 2 without thinking twice. It has a triple camera setup on the rear side composed of a 50 MP main sensor, a 20 MP ultrawide camera, and a 2 MP macro lens. Further, it has a better front camera department composed of two 32 MP shooters, including an ultrawide one and a front-facing LED flash. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a triple rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation, as well as a 32 MP selfie shooter.

Battery

The battery capacities of these two phones are exactly the same: 4500 mAh, but the charging technologies are different. The Xiaomi Civi 2 supports 67W fast charging, while the OPPO Reno8 5G supports 80W fast charging, as well as reverse charging.

Price

The Xiaomi Civi 2 and the OPPO Reno8 5G carry a starting price tag which roughly translates into €350/$343 at the actual change in the Chinese market. The Xiaomi mid-ranger is not available in the global market, while OPPO Reno 8 is, with a price tag of €599/$589 in Europe. With the actual price, the Civi 2 wins the comparison due to its more advanced specifications.

Vivo renewed its amazing V series with two new devices: the Vivo V25 and the Vivo V25 Pro. The latter is an amazing upper-midrange phone equipped with great cameras, a very nice display, a high-end chipset, and even fast charging speeds. It is definitely one of the best value for money phones, but it is also a great rival for the OPPO Reno8 5G. These two phones feature the same processor and their specifications are in the same range; even the prices are not so different. That is the reason why we think it is worth comparing them. So, here is a comparison between the main specifications of the OPPO Reno8 5G and the Vivo V25 Pro.

OPPO Reno8 5G vs Vivo V25 Pro

Design

If you look at the rear sides of these phones, then the OPPO Reno8 5G is much more attractive. It has a very original rear design, with a protruding camera module coming out gradually from the cover and a very impressive gradient color option. Even if you look at the profile, you will find a better view: the OPPO Reno8 5G is a thinner and lighter phone compared to the Vivo V25 Pro. But the Vivo mid-ranger is superior when it comes to the design of the front side: it has a higher screen to body ratio, with narrower bezels around the display. The Reno has a pretty thick chin on the lower part which makes the front glass uglier, but it is the only one protected by Gorilla Glass 5.

Display

On the paper, the Vivo V25 Pro looks to have a superior display. It is an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.56 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2376 pixels, the HDR10+ certification, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint reader. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, a Full HD+ resolution, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. Both the handsets show vivid colors and deep blacks, but the Vivo features a higher refresh rate and a better image quality thanks to the HDR certification, as well as a thinner chin below the panel and a wider diagonal. Unfortunately, the Reno has just a mono speaker, while the V25 Pro has dual speakers, so it produces better audio.

Specs & Software

The processors of these two phones are exactly the same: they feature a Dimensity 1300 mobile platform by Mediatek built with a 6 nm production process with an octa-core architecture. The SoC is composed of a Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at a frequency of 2.6 GHz, and four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, as well as a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. This is a very good SoC for both basic users and gamers, it is not the best chipset by MediaTek but it is one of the most powerful ones. These two devices also feature the same memory configurations, with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. They run Android 12 out of the box customized by ColorOS 12.1 and Funtouch OS 12, respectively.

Camera

The rear cameras of the Vivo V25 Pro look more convincing. It features a triple rear camera composed of a 64 MP main sensor with OIS, a 12 MP ultrawide lens with a FOV of 120 degrees, and a 2 MP macro camera. The rear cameras support 4K video recording at 30 fps, while the front camera has a 32 MP resolution and supports 4K video recording at 30 fps as well. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a triple rear camera composed of a 50 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. The front camera is a 32 MP snapper with 1080p video recording.

Battery

The Vivo V25 Pro is the king of battery life here because it sports a bigger 4830 mAh battery. On the other hand, the smaller battery of the OPPO Reno8 5G supports 80W fast charging, which is a faster charging technology. But it has a capacity of just 4500 mAh and, given that these two phones have the same processor, the battery life will be shorter in most of the scenarios.

Price

You need at least $400/€393 in order to purchase the OPPO Reno8 5G in India, while the starting price of the Vivo V25 Pro roughly translates into $432/€440. Unfortunately, the V25 Pro has limited availability, while the Reno8 5G is going to be available almost everywhere in the global market as it will launch in Europe soon.
The Vivo V25 Pro wins the comparison due to its better display, superior camera, and bigger battery. But the Reno8 features a more interesting design, faster charging, and a better operating system.

OPPO officially launched the Reno8 Series in the global market. For now, it is only available in China and India, but soon the OPPO Reno8 Series should hit the European market as well: the European launch is expected in September. Meanwhile, we think it is time to compare it to the most interesting devices sold in the Indian market in the same price range. Among the best ones, you have the Redmi K50i: it comes with an amazing processor but, just like the OPPO Reno8, it faces some compromises. This is a comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Reno8 and the Redmi K50i which will tell you the differences between these two amazing upper-midrange devices.

OPPO Reno8 vs Xiaomi Redmi K50i

Design

Generally, OPPO phones come with a more interesting design compared to most of the other brands out there. It is exactly the case with the OPPO Reno8, coming with a very original camera module and amazing color options. Further, it is thinner and lighter with a thickness of just 7.7 mm and a weight of just 179 grams. A lot more interesting than the Redmi K50i, even though both the phones are made of polycarbonate. The OPPO device is even more compact thanks to the presence of a smaller display. This phone comes with a punch-hole screen with a hole placed on the upper left corner, it has a camera module protruding gradually from the back cover similar to the Find X5 series, and a thicker chin under the display. Its power button is placed on the right side of the phone, while the volume rocker is on the left side. Instead, the Redmi K50i has both the power button and the volume balancer on the right side.

Display

Do you need a display with the highest image quality? If so, you should go for the OPPO Reno8. It has an AMOLED display showing bright colors and deep blacks with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, a Full HD Plus resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of up to 800 nits, and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front glass. There is also an optical in-display fingerprint reader. Unfortunately, the Redmi K50i is equipped with an LCD panel, so you should not expect the best color reproduction, even though it supports the HDR10 certification and Dolby Vision. However, you might prefer this device if you are a gamer because it offers a wider diagonal of 6.6 inches and a higher 144 Hz refresh rate. It has a 500 nits typical brightness, and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but the fingerprint reader is not placed under the display but is side-mounted. Note that the OPPO Reno8 wins the display comparison but not the audio one: it has just a mono speaker and it does not feature a 3.5 mm audio jack, while the Redmi K50i does and it comes with stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

The hardware of the Redmi K50i is actually better than the one found on the OPPO Reno8. On board, there is a more powerful Dimensity 8100 mobile platform by MediaTek. It is an octa-core chipset built at 5 nm and composed of four Cortex A78 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. This handset sports up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage. You can get exactly the same memory configuration with the OPPO Reno8, but with an inferior processor: the MediaTek Dimensity 1300. It is almost the same as the Dimensity 1200 chipset released in 2021 and it is an SoC built at 6 nm with an octa-core architecture. This chip is composed of one Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. Both the handsets run Android 12 out of the box, with highly customized user interfaces on top.

Camera

It looks like the OPPO Reno8 has a more interesting camera department for two reasons: first of all, it has a better 50 MP main camera. Further, it comes with a superior 32 MP selfie camera allowing you to shoot brighter selfies.

Battery

If you are looking for longer battery life in most of the scenarios, then the Redmi K50i is your choice. It has a bigger 5080 mAh battery and it supports 67W fast charging. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno8 charges quicker not only because it has a smaller battery, but also because it features 80W fast charging.

Price

The OPPO Reno8 starts from Rs. 29,999 / $375, while the Redmi K50i has a starting price of Rs. 25,999 / $325. Overall, the Reno8 offers more value due to its better display, cameras, and faster charging. But the K50i is a better option for gamers because it has a superior chipset, battery, and higher refresh rate.

Two months after the official release in China, the Reno8 Series went official in the global market too. The global journey of the new lineup begins from the Indian market, which is the biggest one alongside China. While in Cina the series is composed of three variants, only two variants debuted in the global market: the OPPO Reno8 and the OPPO Reno8 Pro. The former is the same device as the one seen in China, while the latter is a rebrand of the Chinese Pro Plus variant. Instead, the Pro variant for China with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 did not hit the global shelves for unknown reasons. A lot of people are wondering what are the differences between the vanilla version and the Pro one in the global market. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the OPPO Reno8 Global and the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global.

OPPO Reno8 Global vs OPPO Reno8 Pro Global

Design

Even though the OPPO Reno8 Pro is the most expensive one and is built with premium material, at first glance, the vanilla OPPO Reno8 looks more beautiful. It has a smaller camera module, more compact dimensions, and a very interesting gradient color option. However, if you dig deeper, you will find out that the OPPO Reno8 Pro looks very premium. It is built with a glass back (protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5) and an aluminum frame, and it comes with a higher screen to body ratio compared to the vanilla version, but its dimensions are bigger, so it is a harder device to use with one hand or to keep in a pocket. Both the phones come with Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front glass, they come with flat borders just like the latest iPhones, and they have no audio jack.

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global, even though its panel is not at the same level as the OPPO Find X5 Pro. The Pro variant comes with an AMOLED display sporting a diagonal of 6.7 inches and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The screen is able to show up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and up to 950 nits of brightness. The vanilla version has a smaller 6.4-inch display with a lower 90 Hz refresh rate, a lower 800 nits peak brightness, and it is not able to show one billion colors but it stops at 16 million. The phones are equipped with in-display fingerprint scanners, but the Pro variant is the only one equipped with stereo speakers.

Specs & Software

An important advantage of the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is definitely the hardware department, thanks to its superior chipset. It is fueled by the Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform by MediaTek built at 5 nm and sporting an octa-core architecture. It is composed of four Cortex A78 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G610 MC6 GPU. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The vanilla OPPO Reno8 has an inferior Mediatek Dimensity 1300 chipset built at 6 nm with an octa-core architecture composed of one Cortex A78 CPU running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, three Cortex A78 CPUs running at 2.6 GHz, four Cortex A55 CPUs running at 2 GHz, and a Mali G77 MC9 GPU. These handsets run Android 12 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.1.

Camera

The cameras of these devices are exactly the same, but the OPPO Reno8 Pro Global is able to provide higher camera performance thanks to the presence of the MariSilicon X NPU, the same proprietary NPU found on the OPPO Find X5 and the OPPO Find X5 Pro, improving the photo and video quality with low light conditions. For the rest, they are the same: they sport a triple rear camera with a 50 MP Sony IMX766 main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera, as well as a 32 MP selfie shooter recording videos with a 1080p resolution.

Battery

The batteries of these two devices are the same, with a dual-cell structure and a capacity of 4500 mAh, as well as the 80W fast charging technology that brings these batteries from 0 to 100 percent of charge in just 28 minutes. Expect a similar battery life, but the Pro variant may last more in a few scenarios due to its more efficient chipset.

Price

The price of the OPPO Reno8 Pro in the Indian market roughly translates into €567 or $567, while the vanilla version is priced at €480 or $480 at the actual change. So the Pro variant offers a few advantages: a better display, superior camera performance, better hardware, and stereo speakers. Which one would you pick?

According to Oppo, the Reno8 Pro will also have the company’s proprietary MariSilicon X Imaging chip that will allow it to record 4K videos with AI noise reduction even at nighttime. The smartphones will feature customized Sony sensors. All in all, the upcoming series will push the envelope in terms of photography.

The Reno8 series has already been launched in China, however, the Indian variants will have different specifications. The company hasn’t divulged any details but it is expected that both the smartphones will have processors different from their Chinese counterparts.

Tipster Mukul Sharma recently leaked some specifications of both phones.

The post Oppo Reno8 series’ India Launch date confirmed, Here’s what you need to know appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Reno8 Series went official in the Chinese market a few days ago with three models: the vanilla Reno8, the OPPO Reno8 Pro, and the Reno8 Pro Plus. They are not at the same level as the Find X5 lineup, but they offer amazing specifications and their prices are more interesting if compared to the most advanced flagship lineup by the Green Factory. Soon, the new series will debut in the global market too, even though there may be a few changes: the Indian version of the lineup is expected to include the Reno8 and the Reno8 Pro which will be re-brands of the Chinese Pro and Pro+ variants, respectively. While waiting for the launch of the new series in the global market, here is a comparison between their specifications.

OPPO Reno8 vs OPPO Reno8 Pro vs  OPPO Reno8 Pro+

Design

The differences between the designs of these three devices are just marginal. It is very hard to distinguish every single phone from their design because they are similar, with a camera module sporting the same aesthetics. I personally prefer the look of the vanilla version because it has a smaller camera module, but it is built with cheaper materials. The best build quality is provided by the Pro variants which include an aluminum frame and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the front glass.

Display

The OPPO Reno8 Pro+ is equipped with the best display of the trio. It is an AMOLED panel that shows up to one billion colors with a Full HD+ resolution, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and an in-display fingerprint reader. Right after, we got the display of the Reno8 Pro that does not show one billion colors, but the remaining specifications are the same as the Pro Plus variants with the exception of its 6.62-inch diagonal. The vanilla version has a smaller 6.43-inch panel with a lower 90 Hz refresh rate and no HDR10+.

Specs & Software

The most powerful hardware department is provided by the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus, as the name suggests. It is equipped with a high-end MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform: an upgrade of the Dimensity 8100 with higher AI capabilities, built at 5 nm and running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Reno8 Pro takes the silver medal with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform that is currently the best midrange chipset by Qualcomm. The last position goes to the vanilla Reno8: the first phone with the Dimensity 1300 mobile platform. All of these phones run Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12.1, and they will get at least two major updates to new Android versions.

Camera

If you are looking for the most advanced cameras, then you should go either for the OPPO Reno8 Pro or the Pro Plus. Unlike these two devices, the vanilla version lacks an 8 MP ultrawide camera and it replaces it with a useless 2 MP depth sensor. This is the reason why the Pro variants are more versatile and interesting in terms of photo quality. Further, the Pro variants come with the proprietary NPU MariSilicon X improving night photography and video recording at night as well.

Battery

All of these phones come with the same battery capacity, this means that the longest battery life will be provided by the handset sporting the most efficient components. The OPPO Reno8 Pro may provide a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios because its Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 mobile platform is built with a better 4 nm production process improving the energy consumption. But the differences in terms of battery life should be just marginal. The charging speeds should be exactly the same because the whole trio features 4500 mAh batteries with 80W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the OPPO Reno8 roughly translates into about €350 or $377 at the actual change, the Pro variant starts from €420 or $453, and the Pro Plus begins at €520 or $560. These are the prices for the Chinese market, while the ones for the global market are still unknown at the moment of this publication. Now that you know all the differences between the devices from the new series, which one would you pick?

The OPPO Reno8 debuted in the Chinese market and it will soon debut in India and in Europe too with the launch of the Reno8 Lite. Meanwhile, even OPPO’s sub-brand OnePlus released a new midrange phone. The OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has a similar design to the new OPPO Reno8, but it comes with different specifications: while the former is more interesting for casual users, the latter is better for gaming. But which one is the best for your actual needs? This is a comparison between the specifications of the vanilla OPPO Reno8 and the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition which will clear your ideas in regards.

OPPO Reno8 Pro vs OnePlus Ace Racing Edition

Design

As already mentioned above, the OPPO Reno8 and the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition come with a similar design including a camera module merged with the rear side and with the same color as the rest of the body. But the OPPO Reno8 is the winner of the design comparison because it is more compact, thinner, and lighter than its rival. Further, it has a cleaner camera module and includes an in-display fingerprint reader, while the OnePlus flagship killer has a side-mounted sensor. These two phones are not built with premium materials as they come with plastic bodies, but they still have a good build quality.

Display

Are you looking for the best image quality? If so, you should opt for the OPPO Reno8. Unlike its internal rival, it has an AMOLED panel showing brighter colors and deeper blacks. The panel sports a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a 90 Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of up to 800 nits, and an in-display fingerprint reader, as well as the Gorilla Glass 5 protection. OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is not the best display out there in terms of image quality because it has an IPS panel, but it is a better screen for gaming because it sports a 120 Hz refresh rate and it has a wider 6.59-inch diagonal. Further, the OnePlus device comes with stereo speakers providing a better audio experience, as well as a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Specs & Software

If your goal is to get the most advanced performance, then the best choice for you is the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max mobile platform built with a 5 nm production process and running at a max frequency of 2.85 GHz: it is an upgrade of the Dimensity 8100 coming with better AI performance and it is a high-end SoC. The OPPO Reno8 sports a lower-end Mediatek Dimensity 1300 chipset running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, but it is still a good midrange SoC. Both the handsets offer up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 native storage, as well as the 5G connectivity and Android 12 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.1.

Camera

Despite being a phone made for gamers and power users available at a pretty affordable price, the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition has a more interesting rear camera than OPPO Reno8: it includes a 64 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP macro lens. The OPPO mid-ranger lacks an ultrawide camera and it replaced the 64 MP main sensor with a 50 MP camera. On the other hand, it sports a superior selfie camera with a resolution of 32 MP.

Battery

The battery of the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition is 500 mAh bigger with a capacity of 5000 mAh and the phone comes with a processor built with a better production process, so it lasts more on a single charge in several scenarios. On the other hand, the OPPO Reno8 offers faster charging speeds thanks to 80W fast charging.

Price

The starting price of the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition in China roughly translates into €280/$300 at the actual change, for the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The same memory configuration of the OPPO Reno8 carries a listing price that roughly translates into €350/$375 in China. Both these phones are currently available only in the Chinese market and their launch date for the global market is still unknown. We do not even know if the OnePlus handset will ever hit the global shelves. So which phone is the best to choose? If you are a gamer or a power user and you are looking for better performance, as well as a more versatile camera and a bigger battery, then you would better go for the OnePlus Ace Racing Edition. But this device has a disappointing IPS panel and a thicker design, so if the display is a more important priority, the OPPO Reno8 is actually a better choice. Overall, I would go for the OnePlus flagship killer. Which one would you pick?
