CAMERAS

It has a 50MP primary sensor + 8MP ultra-wide lens + 2MP Macro while there is a 32MP selfie shooter.

The device doesn’t have OIS support, it relies on EIS which doesn’t work the best. So don’t expect a smooth video recording.

By the way, the 50MP sensor takes some good images under good lighting. It also has a dedicated night mode which works fine, nothing new…

Talking about 8MP ultra-wide lens, here I feel, the ultra-wide lens is just another addon like a 2MP sensor. The images come out with good dynamic range but most of the time, images turned out to be soft.

Overall, for the price of Rs 29999, the Reno 8 5G doesn’t have the best camera, it’s a decent camera with a good selfie shooter.

The phone comes with a 6.43-inches flexible 90Hz AMOLED Display. The front and back are protected with corning gorilla glass 5 while the frame is made out of plastic.

Display

When it comes to design, the device looks amazing from the back when you flip the phone, you will see the big bottom chin. Now, OPPO could have made that chin smaller but they also want to sell the Reno 8 Pro 5G.

The MediaTek Dimensity 1300 is a powerful processor and there won’t be any kind of problem while playing games or using a smartphones day to day life.

Perforamnce

By the way, the phone has 12 5G Bands,, Single Speakers, NFC support, and 2x2 MIMO Carrier aggregation

By the way, the device runs on ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12 and there are no words from OPPO for future updates but you can expect the Android 13.

OS

I have already told you that, the ColorOS comes with tons of pre-installed apps which you can uninstall but still, it is there even after paying Rs 29999.

The OPPO Reno 8 5G comes with a 4,500 mAh battery with 80W wired fast charging support which will charge the device from 1% to 100% in 28 Minutes.

Battery Life

You expected dual speakers right but guess what, it only has a single bottom speaker which works fine.

Audio Quality

If you really want to buy OPPO Reno 8 5G then just go with OnePlus Nord 2T 5G because it’s available at Rs 28,999 while Reno 8 5G is priced at Rs 29999 otherwise, IQOO Neo 6 5G is a better option.

Verdict

– RealMe 9 Pro Plus 5G – Motorola Edge 30 5G – OnePlus Nord 2T 5G – iQOO Neo 6 5G
