An unknown Motorola smartphone was recently spotted on a popular benchmarking platform. The database revealed some of its key specs, although the official moniker of this device is still unclear. So here’s everything we know so far.

Motorola XT2363-4 GeekBench

The company’s upcoming device was spotted carrying the XT2363-4 model number. Looking at the online listing, the Android version, chipset, and RAM details of the handset were revealed. This mysterious Motorola XT2363-4 is equipped with an octa core Qualcomm processor which features six CPU cores at 1.8GHz and two cores that have a 2.21GHz clock speed. This chipset in question is the Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is paired with the Adreno 619 GPU.

This processor is typically found on mid range smartphones, so this model will likely target a similar price range as well. The GeekBench listing confirms that the Snapdragon 695 SoC is coupled with 8GB of RAM and runs on Android 14 OS out of the box. With these specs, the unknown Motorola XT2363-4 managed to score 911 points in the single core test and 2037 points in the multi core test. Interestingly, this Moto device is the same model, which was recently spotted on China’s 3C certification authority.

This previous sighting confirms that it will come with a power brick that is capable of outputting 20W fast charging. Unfortunately, no finer details about the device like its design, pricing, and name are known at the moment. But Motorola will likely reveal more information or officially announce the smartphone in China later this month. So stick around for more as we will be providing more information when additional details is known regarding this device.

Motorola is set to launch the Moto G84 5G and G54 5G in India on Sept. 1 and Sept. 6, respectively. Like other Motorola phones, the G84 will be available for purchase through Flipkart. Reliance Digital is another online platform that sells Motorola smartphones. While the G84 is scheduled to launch on Friday, it appears that the device was inadvertently listed a few hours ago on Reliance Digital. In addition, the upcoming Moto G54 also emerged on the same retailer site. The listings of both smartphones (now removed) revealed the prices of their different variants.

Vivo has silently announced the Vivo Y78 5G in Singapore. The device is now listed on Vivo Singapore’s website with all its specifications.

The official listing reveals that the Y78 5G that has landed in Singapore is different from the Dimensity 7020-powered Vivo Y78 5G, which is available in China. In fact, it is a tweaked version of the Vivo Y78+ 5G, which is also available in the home market.

Vivo Y78 5G specifications and features

Last year, Oppo unveiled the Oppo F21 Pro, the Oppo F21s Pro, and the OPPO F21 Pro 5G in the Indian market. There was no standard OPPO F21. In the previous week, the company unveiled the Oppo F23 5G in the country. The same phone is available under the Oppo A98 5G moniker in the global market. 

The Oppo F23 mainly focuses on offering worry-free battery performance and lag-free experiences through longer software support. Apart from this, the phone offers a 120Hz LCD screen, a Snapdragon 695, and a 64-megapixel triple camera unit, which includes a 40x micro-lens. Here is our review of the Oppo F23.

Oppo F23 5G review: What’s in the box?

Opening the Oppo F23 box will greet you with the following items:

• Oppo F23 5G handset
• SIM ejector tool
• 80W SuperVOOC charger
• USB-C to USB-A cable
• User manual
• Safety Guide

Design and Display

The Oppo F23 showcases a polycarbonate back with a glossy section located below the camera module. Its rear design bears a resemblance to the Oppo Reno 8T 5G (review). I received the Bold Gold color option of the device, so I cannot comment on the appearance of the Cool Black variant. However, in the case of the gold variant, it exudes charm, thanks to Oppo’s innovative Glow design technology. On the front, the phone features a punch-hole display and a slightly thicker bottom bezel. According to the brand, it boasts a screen-to-body ratio of 91.4 percent.

The hybrid SIM slot and volume buttons are available on the left, while the right side of the device has the power key, which is integrated with a speaker. The top edge has a microphone, and the top bezel houses an earpiece, which doubles up as a speaker. The bottom edge of the phone has a speaker grille, a USB-C port, a microphone, and a 3.5mm audio jack. A good thing about the rear panel of the phone is that it does not attract fingerprint marks.

The F23 boasts a spacious 6.72-inch LTPS LCD display that delivers FHD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. With a maximum brightness of 680 nits, the screen provides vivid visuals. Although the screen is generally bright, it can be challenging to view it clearly under intense sunlight. Additionally, the phone holds certifications from Netflix and Amazon Prime, allowing users to indulge in uninterrupted binge-watching on these popular OTT platforms. To enhance the audio experience, the F23 is equipped with dual stereo speakers, tested by Dirac. These speakers feature an Ultra Volume mode, which amplifies the volume up to 200 percent, ensuring optimal sound quality even in noisy environments. While an AMOLED panel would have been preferable, the F23’s LCD panel still offers commendable features.

The display offers Vivid and Natural color modes, each offering options like Cooler, Default, and Warmer. When it comes to refresh rate, it does not offer an automatic option. Instead, there are 60Hz and 120Hz refresh rate options available.

Performance and Software

Oppo opted for the reliable Snapdragon 695 chip to power the Oppo F23. The SoC is coupled with 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, up to 8 GB of virtual RAM, and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The device runs on ColorOS 13.1-based Android 13 OS. These hardware and software combinations offer smooth performance. There is a microSD card slot for additional storage. As far as gaming is concerned, the SD695 is good enough for casual gaming.

The 5,000mAh battery fuels the Oppo F23 5G. The retail package of the device includes an 80W SuperVOOC, but the phone supports 67W fast charging. In my battery charging test, it took around 46 minutes for the phone to achieve a full charge. It also offers an AI power-saving mode and a super power-saving mode. The latter can let the phone last for up to 17 hours and run up to six apps with a 5 percent battery. Super Night-time Standby consumes only 2 percent battery juice at night, which means it will not lose a significant amount of battery throughout the night.

Oppo is boasting about the battery and charging capabilities of the F23 on its official product page. It comes with 5-layer charging protection and a Battery Health Engine that extends the battery lifespan with up to 1600 charging cycles. According to Oppo, the BHE offers 58 months of “Fluency Protection” meaning it is capable of working smoothly for four years. The remarks section of the F23’s official website states that “Fluency Protection” does not mean that there is absolutely no lag. Due to factors such as network environment and personal usage, the actual experience may be different. Please refer to the actual experience.

Oppo has officially announced that the Oppo F23 will be eligible for four years of Android updates and five years of security updates. The ColorOS 13.1, although packed with numerous features and customization options, and generally operating smoothly, does come bundled with several pre-installed applications that may not be essential for all users. Fortunately, the good news is that many of these apps can be uninstalled. Here’s how it performs on the benchmark apps.

Photography and Other Features

The Oppo F23 5G camera setup comprises a 64-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel microlens. On the front is a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The camera app offers photography modes, such as Night, Video, Photo, Portrait, Pro, Extra HD, Pano, Slow-Mo, Time-Lapse, Dual-View Video, Microscope (20x, 40x options), Sticker, and Text Scanner.

The 64-megapixel primary camera does a decent job in environments with brightness and daylight, as can be seen in the samples above. In low light conditions, it is better to use the Night mode rather than the Photo mode as it mellows down the effect of reflected light and enhances the shot.

When it comes to video shooting, the F23 can shoot up to 30fps 1080p videos with EIS support. Videos with Retouch or Filters captured in 720p quality. The front camera also supports 30fps 1080p video recording. Speaking of the front, it takes commendable regular and portrait selfies. However, the front camera’s performance struggles in low-light conditions.

Verdict

Purchasing the Oppo F23 during the promotional period can be a worthwhile investment. Outside of the offer, it may seem slightly pricey. Nevertheless, one of its key advantages is its extended software support, which lasts for up to 5 years and ensures a smoother user experience for 4 years.

While Oppo typically provides this prolonged support for its higher-priced Reno models, the F23 is the first Oppo phone priced below Rs 25,000 to offer such longevity. Consequently, F23 buyers can potentially avoid the need to switch to a different phone for at least a couple of years, making it a favourable choice in the long term.

Variants, Price and Availability

The Oppo F23 is available for purchase through offline stores, OPPO India’s online store, and Amazon.

• 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage – Rs 24,999 (~$362)
• Colors: Cool Black and Bold Gold

Those who wish to buy the Oppo F23 before May 31 in India can take advantage of 10 percent cashback and no-cost EMI up to 6 months from ICICI Bank, SBI Cards, Kotak Mahindra Bank, and other leading banks and financiers. The offer can also be availed from Bajaj Finance, TVS Credit, and HDB Financials on EMI Finance schemes.

Loyal Oppo customers can avail an exchange + loyalty bonus of up to Rs 2,500. Customers owning smartphones other than Oppo can also avail an exchange offer of up to Rs 1,500. Attractive EMI schemes, including zero downpayment, are available on Bajaj Finance, TVS Credit, IDFC First Bank, HDB Financials, and other leading financiers. Those who purchase the F23 before May 23 will get the Enco Air 2i at a discounted price of Rs 1,799.

Disclaimer:  All of the opinions in this Oppo F23 review are mine and based on my own experiences. There has been no editorial input from Oppo.

Oppo K11x will debut at 20:00 pm (local time) today in China. The official renders have revealed the design of what will be the company’s first K-series phone this year. While the company has revealed its design, it has not revealed its specifications. However, it appears that one of the phones that were recently approved by Chinese certification platforms will debut as the Oppo K11x.

In March, an Oppo phone with model number PHF110 was spotted in the database of China’s TENAA certification. The listing revealed the key specifications of the phone.

Oppo K11x specifications

The Oppo K11x will arrive with a 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel that offers an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is likely that the display will also support a 120Hz refresh rate. For security, the K11x will arrive with a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

It will be powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor, which appears to be the Snapdragon 695 chip. The device will be equipped with 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB of internal storage. It will feature a microSD card slot for additional storage.

The K11x may run on Android 13 OS and ColorOS 13. It will feature a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and 100-megapixel + 2-megapixel dual rear cameras. It will house a 5,000mAh battery, which may support 67W fast charging as per its 3C certification. The device will measure 165.54 x 75.98 x 8.3mm and weigh around 195 grams.

The above specifications are almost identical to those of the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite available on the global market. The only major difference between the two phones is that the OnePlus phone comes with an additional 2-megapixel camera on the back. The rest of the specifications and even the dimensions of the devices are the same.

The post iQOO Z7 5G, iQOO Z7x 5G launches outside China, global journey begins appeared first on Gizmochina.

A recent report claimed that iQOO is planning to launch iQOO Z7x 5G by mid-April in India. It appears that the said device may land in Indonesia first before making it to the Indian market. The reason behind it is that the company has confirmed that it will launch the new iQOO Z7 series of smartphones at 4pm (local time) on April 3 in Indonesia.

The brand’s promotional poster features a blue and black iQOO Z7 series phone. The device can sport an OIS-enabled dual-camera system. The company is yet to confirm the exact names of the Z7 devices that will be unveiled on April 4 in Indonesia.

In February, Indonesia’s TKDN agency gave the I2213 and I2216 models of iQOO devices the green light. The I2213 model was recently seen at Geekbench with the Snapdragon 782G chip, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 13 OS. So, it looks like the I2213 will be the global version of the iQOO Z7 5G with Snapdragon 782G, which came out in China this month. There is a possibility that the device may arrive on the global market as the IQOO Z7 Pro 5G.

On the other hand, the appearance of the I2216 at Thailand’s NBTC, Malaysia’s SIRIM, Bluetooth SIG, and Google Play Supported Devices list has revealed that it will be the global version of China’s iQOO Z7x 5G. It is speculated that the global version may not support 80W charging, which is available on the Chinese version. Otherwise, there may not be any difference between the global and Chinese editions of the Z7x.

With only a few days remaining for the launch, iQOO Indonesia is expected to release some more teasers about the upcoming Z7 series to confirm some of its key features.

The iQOO Z7x 5G is expected to launch by mid-April in India. It is going to be the same device that debuted in China earlier this month. Ahead of the expected launch, the device has been spotted with model number I2216 at the Bluetooth SIG certification.

The Bluetooth SIG certification only states that the IQOO Z7x 5G supports Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity and has no information on its other specifications. Apart from India, the device is also expected to be released in Malaysia since it has been approved by the country’s SIRIM authority. The device has also appeared in the Google Supported Devices list, which suggests that its global launch is near.

iQOO Z7x 5G specifications, price (expected)

The iQOO Z7x 5G smartphone comes equipped with a 6.64-inch IPS LCD display that features a centrally placed punch-hole. The screen supports an FHD+ resolution, a 19:9 aspect ratio, and a high 120Hz refresh rate. The device runs on the Snapdragon 695 chipset, LPDDR4x RAM, and UFS 2.2 storage. In China, the device is available in three configurations, but it is expected to arrive in an 8GB+256GB version only in India.

The Z7x also has a 16-megapixel front-facing camera and a 64-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (depth) dual-camera setup on the back. On the software front, the iQOO Z7x 5G runs on the latest Android 13 OS. It comes with a 5,000mAh battery and also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The Chinese variant supports 80W fast charging, but the variant released on the global market may offer slower charging.

In China, the IQOO Z7x is available in black, blue, and orange shades. The handset is expected to arrive in India in the same colors. It is likely to cost between Rs 14,000 and Rs 16,000, which indicates it will be positioned lower than the iQOO Z7 5G, which is powered by the Dimensity 920 chipset.

iQOO Z6 5G Receives Price Cut in India

The iQOO Z6 5G comes in three variants, such as 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 128 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. At launch, these variants were priced at Rs 15,499, Rs 16,999, and Rs 17,999, respectively.

To further sweeten the deal, buyers can take advantage of the Rs 1,000 discount by HDFC and ICICI bank cards while placing the order. The device comes in two colors, such as Raven Black and Lumena Blue.

The iQOO Z6 5G has a 6.58-inch IPS LCD screen that offers an FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The display notch houses a 16-megapixel selfie camera, and its rear shell has a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

The IMDA certification confirms that the OnePlus device with model number CPH2465 will debut in the market as the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G. Unfortunately, the IMDA listing has no information on the specifications of the device.

So far, the rumor mill has leaked details about three upcoming Nord-branded phones, such as the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite, Nord CE 3, and Nord 3. Max Jambor, a reliable source, said in a tweet that the Nord CE 3 Lite will be announced on April 4.

The OnePlus Nord 3, which is expected to debut in July, is likely to arrive as a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 2V, which recently debuted in China. In November 2022, OnLeaks shared the specs sheet of the OnePlus Nord CE 3. The device was found to be equipped with the Snapdragon 695 chipset.

However, a recent report revealed that the Nord CE 3 will come equipped with the Snapdragon 782G. Hence, it appears that the SD695-powered device will be arriving in the market as the Nord CE 3 Lite. While the Lite variant is expected to launch on April 4, the Nord CE 3 and Nord 3 may arrive in Q3 this year.

Back in December 2022, the Wiko 5G (rebranded Huawei Nova 9 SE) was officially launched in China as a smartphone that supports the newer and faster bandwidth and runs on Huawei’s HarmonyOS. Now, it appears that a brand is working on another new 5G enabled handset. So here are all the details.

A new Wiko 5G device has recently passed through China’s TENAA certification website. For those unaware, every device sold in the region has to pass through this certification ahead of official release, so it is clear that the company is working on a new 5G smartphone. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device like its specifications and pricing are still at large. Although, we know that is carries the model number GAR-AN00.

Furthermore, this device will run on HarmonyOS, which is Huawei’s proprietary operating system, and is approved to support 5G networking as well. The previous Wiko 5G model was equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, so it is possible that the next gen model will also feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon series SoC or maybe even a MediaTek Dimensity chip. It is unclear if this model will be a more expensive model compared to the Wiko 5G which is a mid range device.

This model sported a tall 6.78 inch LCD panel that has a Full HD+ resolution, a center aligned punch hole selfie camera, and a high 120Hz refresh rate. The device was powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 66W fast charging as well. The Wiko 5G was launched in China for 1,999 Yuan (roughly 290 US Dollars), so we can expect the next gen model to be around this same price point or possibly higher if its similar to a flagship grade device.

iQOO is gearing up to launch the iQOO Z7 series of smartphones in India and China. The Indian division of the company said last week that the iQOO Z7 5G, which is powered by the Dimensity 920, will be announced on March 21 in India. Today, the Chinese wing of the company confirmed through its Weibo handle that it will unveil the iQOO Z7 series at 7 pm (local time) on March 21.

Reports have claimed that the iQOO Z7 lineup has three phones, such as the iQOO Z7i, iQOO Z7, and iQOO Z7x. The Z7i has already gone official as the first-ever phone powered by the Dimensity 6020 chipset. According to earlier reports, the iQOO phones with model numbers V2270A and V2272A that were recently seen at the 3C certification platform will be called the iQOO Z7 and iQOO Z7x, respectively, when they hit the Chinese market.

The above images give the first look at the iQOO Z7 (Chinese variant). As can be seen, the Z7 will arrive in color options, such as orange and blue. The back panel of the device has a dual-camera setup with OIS support. The company has also confirmed that the Z7 will support for 120W fast charging. In all likelihood, it will debut as the most affordable 120W charging phone.

Rumor is rife that the iQOO Z7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 782G chipset and a 5,000mAh battery. The iQOO Z7x is likely to come equipped with the Snapdragon 695 chipset, a 6,000mah battery, and 80W charging. It appears that the company will also confirm the iQOO Z7 and Z7x in the coming weeks.

Notably, the Chinese iQOO Z7 is anticipated to differ from the Indian variant.

Ahead of the launch, the iQOO Z7x has appeared on Geekbench revealing its performance along with some key specifications. Let’s take a look at the listing in detail.

The iQOO Z7x appeared on the Geekbench 5 benchmark database, with model number V2272A. It achieved a single-core score of 677 points and a multi-core score of 1929 points. The listing also revealed that the device will come pre-installed with Android 13.

Two of the processing unit’s cores will be clocked at 2.21GHz each, while the remaining six will be clocked at 1.80GHz. The device will also feature an Adreno 619 GPU. These specifications suggest that the iQOO Z7x will run on an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor.

The listing indicated that the iQOO Z7x will be available in a 6GB memory configuration. It will probably launch with other RAM configurations as well. The Geekbench listing does not reveal any other details, however, the smartphone has already appeared on 3C listing with up to 80W fast charging. The battery is said to have 6,000mAh capacity.

On Feb. 6, POCO unveiled the POCO X5 series of smartphones in the global market and India. The lineup has two models, the Poco X5 5G and the Poco X5 Pro 5G. While the global market received both models, the company only released the Pro model in India. It appears that the vanilla variant will be also released in India.

When a Poco fan asked Poco’s Country Head for India, Himanshu Tandon whether the company will be releasing the Poco X5 in India, he responded by saying, “yea getting a lot of messages from fans to launch the X5 after the successful launch of X5 Pro. We are seriously evaluating this.”

At the same time, a report by Xiaomiui reveals that the last internal MIUI build of Poco X5 5G (V13.0.1.0.SMPINXM) has surfaced. As per the publication, the MIUI build suggests that the device will arrive with MIUI 13-based Android 12 In India.

POCO X5 5G specifications

The Poco X5 5G available in the global market features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chipset, 6 GB / 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 128 GB / 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage.

The Poco X5 has a 5,000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. It runs on Android 12 OS with the MIUI 13 on top. The device features a 13-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 48-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultra-wide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera unit. For security, it has a side-facing fingerprint scanner.

As can be seen, the above specifications are almost identical to the Redmi Note 12 5G, which is already available in India for Rs 17,999 (~$220). The Note 12 5G and Poco X5 5G mainly differ in the chipset department as the Redmi model features the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1, whereas the X5 has the SD695.

As per a new leak, it appears that the iQOO Z7x will feature the Snapdragon 695, whereas the iQOO Z7 Pro will be equipped with the Snapdragon 782G. Previous reports said that the iQOO Z7x will have a 6,000mAh battery, while the Pro model will have a 5,000mAh battery.

The iQOO Z7 series is being teased in China. Reports have revealed that the country will receive two devices, namely the iQOO Z7 and iQOO Z7x.

The SD782G chip has been previously seen on the Honor 80, which debuted in China last year. A recent report said that the same chip will also be in the OnePlus Nord CE 3 that will be sold around the world.

Going back to the iQOO Z7 series for China, the 3C authority there has recently certified both models. The iQOO Z7x and Z7’s 3C listings show that these devices may be able to charge at up to 80W and 120W, respectively. Shown above are some live shots of the iQOO Z7 series that are now being circulated on Chinese social media platforms. There is a possibility that both handsets will have an identical design, featuring a punch-hole display on the front and a dual-camera setup on the back.

In related news, the iQOO Z7 series is also expected to launch in India this month. The lineup for India is likely to include two devices, such as the iQOO Z7 (model number I2007) and the iQOO Z7 Pro (model number I2213). It is unclear whether both models will launch together in the country.

Interestingly, the Reno 8T 5G is priced at Rs 29,999 (~$363), which is the same as the launch price of the Reno 8 5G. While the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro are available for purchase on Flipkart, both phones were unavailable for purchase through OPPO India’s website at the time of writing this post.

The Reno series has always offered an impressive design, and the same can be seen on the Reno 8T 5G. The slim-bodied phone has a curved-edge AMOLED display on the front and an attractive rear shell. It is the company’s first Oppo phone for markets outside of China to feature a 108-megapixel camera.

In India, the Reno 8T 5G faces competition from four phones, such as the iQOO Neo 7 and Redmi Note 12 Pro+, which launched recently, and the OnePlus Nord 2T and Nothing Phone (1) from July 2022. Each of these phones has its strengths and weaknesses, and it is not easy to conclude which one is the best device among these.

I have already shared my opinion about the Reno 8 5G (review) and the Reno 8 Pro 5G (review), and now here’s my take on the Reno 8T 5G after using it for around 3 to 4 weeks.

Oppo Reno 8T 5G review: 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 8T 5G is easily one of the best-looking phones in its price segment. The Sunrise Gold edition that I was provided for review, which I think looks better than the black variant. The device weighs 171 grams and has a slim profile of 7.7mm, which makes it very comfortable to hold.

The Reno 8T 5G has a polycarbonate back with a matte finish, which does not attract fingerprint marks and smudges. Depending on how the light hits it, the back shell glows in different colors. There is a glittery portion running below the camera module, which adds to its beauty. The 8T’s back panel looks even more attractive outdoors.

The main camera is in the first camera ring, and the rest of the cameras and the LED flash are in the second camera ring. The camera bump is easy to spot. While the phone looks beautiful, I would advise buyers to use the provided TPU case to keep its beauty intact. It features a plastic frame with a metallic shine.

The volume buttons are available on the left edge, and a power key is on the right. The top edge has a speaker hole and a microphone, whereas the opposite end has a hybrid SIM slot, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. The fingerprint scanner is integrated under the display of the device. I feel that its position is slightly higher, but there is nothing inconvenient about it. It should, in my opinion, be located just above the virtual home button. The earpiece is available on the top bezel of the device.

The Reno 8T 5G has an AMOLED display with curved edges and a centrally positioned punch-hole. The bottom bezel (which measures only 2.32mm) and forehead are slim and almost symmetrical. Thanks to the display curvature, the side bezels seem almost nonexistent. The company claims that it offers a 93.5 percent screen space.

The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen of the Reno 8T 5G produces FHD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate support. The color reproduction is fine, and it feels good to watch HD content on OTT platforms on the device. The Widevine L1 certification allows users to view HD content on Netflix and Prime Video, but there is no support for HDR on YouTube. The Reno 8 5G only had one speaker, but the Reno 8T 5G has dual speakers with stereo output. The audio output is quite good, and there is Ultra Volume Mode, which boosts the speakers’ level by 200 percent.

With a maximum brightness of 950 nits, Reno 8T 5G users will have no trouble viewing the display contents outside. When it comes to color profiles, the Reno 8T 5G offers options like Vivid and Natural. The colors appear more saturated on Vivid. The refresh rate options available on the 8T include 60Hz and 120Hz. There is no auto-switch mode onboard.

The Reno 8 and 8 Pro came with Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but the Reno 8T comes with AGC DT-Star 2 glass protection by Dragontrail, which does not seem inferior. While it is an upper mid-range device, Oppo has gone ahead and offered a flagship-grade display on the 8T.

Performance and Software

The Snapdragon 695 is a reliable chipset that powers the Oppo Reno 8T 5G. While the Reno 8T handles most games well, it is not made for hardcore gaming. With ample 8 GB of RAM onboard and 8 GB of virtual RAM, I did not face any hiccups while using the phone for web browsing, accessing social media apps, watching videos, making phone calls, and so on. When it comes to storage, the device offers 128 GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot. To recall, the Reno 8 did not feature a microSD card slot.

The Reno 8T runs on ColorOS 13-based Android 13, which offers a smooth experience along with a lot of customization options. Like before, the company needs to cut down on bloatware and the unwanted notifications that some of these apps produce. In my opinion, all the apps should seek a user’s permission even on a new device instead of just popping up. The Reno 8T is entitled to receive two years of Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates. I am one of those few people who do not like Google Dialer. I switched to Oppo’s ODialer, which also offers anonymous call recording.

The OPPO Reno 8 5G packs a big battery of 4,800mAh capacity. The retail package of the phone includes an 80W SuperVOOC charger, but the phone supports 67W charging. In comparison, the Reno 8T had a smaller 4,500mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging support. It takes around 47 minutes to achieve a full charge on the 8T. According to OPPO, it employs its proprietary Battery Health Engine technology, which increases charge cycles to 1,600, which is double the industry average of 800 recharges. In other words, the technology helps slow the battery degradation process. Once juiced up, the 8T can easily last for more than a day. Here is a look at the benchmarks performance of the Reno 8T 5G.

Photography and Other Features

The Oppo Reno 8T 5G’s rear camera setup has a 108-megapixel primary camera, which lacks support for OIS. It is paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor and a 2-megapixel, 40x microlens.

By default, the primary camera uses pixel-binning technology to capture 12-megapixel shots. Users can also capture images in 108-megapixel resolution with the phone. Daylight shots through the primary camera come out fine, and it does a reasonable job in dim-light scenarios. The Night Mode improves low-light photography by reducing lens flare and improving focus.

The Reno 8T is capable of shooting 720p or 1080p quality videos at 30fps through the front and rear cameras. There is EIS support available for footage captured via the rear camera. There is a Dual-View video recording mode, which makes it possible to capture videos through the front and rear cameras at the same time.

The microlens is a fun addition to the Reno 8T. It offers up to 40x magnification for capturing microscopic images with minute details. It is easier to focus at 20x, but it takes some effort to capture the right shot at 40x magnification. Some may feel that the company should have offered an ultra-wide snapper instead of the depth or microlens on the device.

The front-facing 32-megapixel OmniVision OV32B, and not the Sony IMX709, which has been there since the Reno 7 series, does a good job capturing selfies mainly when there is sufficient light. However, it struggles in low light. Nevertheless, the front camera manages to capture some impressive portrait selfies, but the quality is not on par with the IMX709.

As for the remaining features of the Reno 8T 5G, it comes with support for 13 5G bands. The security features like the in-screen fingerprint scanner and face unlock work fine. Like the Reno 8 and 8 Pro, the 8T does not have a 3.5mm audio jack.

Verdict

In India, there are multiple SD695 phones priced under Rs 20,000 (~$240). With the company pricing the Reno 8T at Rs 29,999 (~$363), I think the entire package should be taken into consideration and not just the processor. The 8T does not seem to be ideal for people who prefer gaming or are looking for a performance-driven phone. Other than that, it’s an enticing package with a nice design, a great screen, a smooth experience, and decent cameras.

Price and availability

The Reno 8T 5G is priced at Rs 29,999 (~$363) on Flipkart and Oppo India’s website. It is also available for purchase through offline stores across India.

Vivo is planning on launching a new T series smartphone, which will be the success to its T1 model. The device in question will likely be called the Vivo T2 5G and is expected to launch soon after being spotted getting certified online.

The upcoming mid range smartphone was recently spotted on the Google Play Console, which confirms its specifications. Looking at the online listing, the T2 5G will feature the V2222 model number. Furthermore, it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC, which is oddly the same processor that the T1 5G featured last year. This processor comes with the Adreno 619 GPU and will likely be paired with at least 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

The listing revealed that the smartphone will run on Android 13 OS out of the box, which will arrive with the Funtouch OS 13 custom skin on top. It will also sport a Full HD+ display, with what appears to be a waterdrop notch on the front. Unfortunately, this is all the information that was shared on the certification. Considering how this model had surfaced on the Google Play Console, the device will likely be launching soon. So stick around for more as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this device.
