The OPPO Reno 8 4G comes from a collection of Oppo’s higher middle-tier Reno flagships. With just a few changes, the company is offering the identical Reno experience for a fraction of the cost. The entire Reno 8 family bears an emblem of 5G on their names, which means 5G processors are inside. The most recent Reno8 is an evolution of the same family.
Note: Reno 7 Series was not released in Pakistan
Reno 8 4G has just been officially launched in Indonesia with the Snapdragon 680 (6nm) 4G processor, hence the 4G label. Internally, it’s akin to Reno7, released a few months ago. It’s like an upgrade from Reno7 with a new moniker. Although the OPPO Reno 6 was the last to be released in Pakistan without Reno 7 or Reno 7 Pro, it’s a good thing. Reno 7, I think the new series will be available in the local market again.
The device has a flat 6.43-inch size on an AMOLED panel. Visuals are the sharpest with a dense pixel-packed (409 PPI) Full HD+ resolution screen. The smooth refresh rate of 90Hz and brightness of 800 nits ensure a user-friendly experience.
Reno 8 is a continuation of the style of the seven-series Reno. A rectangular cutout to accommodate the camera pops out to allow for a camera trio. The rear is textured and has a matte finish to prevent streaks of smudges that fingers can cause. The OPPO Reno’s new model has flat edges. There’s a fingerprint power key that is mounted on the right side.
The only options available on Reno8 4 G are 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage. The phone runs UFS 2.2 speed for data, which allows for smooth multitasking. In terms of optics, I’m viewing an 8-megapixel selfie camera inside the display’s punch hole. The camera on the rear is triple-slotted and features an aperture of 64 megapixels, which is designated as the primary. The two other slots utilize a two-megapixel macro as well as a depth sensor.
Protection features include:
- IPX4 resistance against water.
- A Panda glass shield on the screen.
- A fingerprint scanner protrudes from the side.
The phone hooks all these internals to a 4500mAh cell supporting 33W top-up speed. Reno8 4G natively runs on Android 12 x ColorOS 12 UI. The price starts from ~PKR 84,999 to 89,999./-
