The Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G will be liked by those who are Oppo fans, want a very attractive design, want IP rating and also want fast charging.
Oppo's Reno 8 Pro 5G is the company's most expensive Reno smartphone in India, priced at Rs 45,999. The phone is really good to look at but if you take a cursory look at its specification, then it comes out to be a mid-range phone. Is the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G served only with decorations or does it have the power in its overall performance and camera for which such a price is being charged?
This phone matches the Realme GT Neo 3 and OnePlus 10R in many respects but does it leave the same shortcomings as the rest of the rivals? I used Reno 8 Pro for several weeks and here I am going to tell everything you need to know before buying this phone.
Price of Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G
Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G comes in a single variant in India in which we get to see 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The price of the phone is Rs 45,999. It comes in two finishes which include Glazed Green and Glazed Black. I had its glazed green unit. The Realme GT Neo 3 and OnePlus 10R 5G come with a lower starting price and offer similar specifications. But having a single variant in Reno 8 Pro 5G means that it has been launched only against premium smartphones.
Design of Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G
The design of Oppo Reno 8 Pro grabs attention at first sight. It looks quite attractive compared to other smartphones in this price segment. With 7.34mm it is not very thin but cannot be called thick either. The phone weighs in at 183 grams which is surprisingly light as its frame is made of aluminum alloy which not only looks good but also feels premium. There is a glossy glass panel at the back which is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and does not allow fingerprints to fall on it easily.
Its cameras make its design stand out. The lens cutout fits perfectly with the camera module. Actually the camera module is an extension of its rear glass panel. The module has a slight slop under which the first finger of my hand would have set, and the phone felt quite easy to handle with one hand.
The display of the phone is flat but there is a slight curve on the edges which blends with the sharp corners of the frame. I haven't seen such thin bezels at this price point. The display has very thin bezels on the top and bottom, but even thinner bezels have been given on the left and right sides, which are barely 1.48mm. Due to this, the phone looks very modern and sharp in look.
This time around, Oppo has taken a mature step instead of including the fancy designs of the Reno series like shark fin selfie camera and IP54 rating for dust and water resistance on the phone. Motorola Edge 30 Pro is the only smartphone in this segment to come with almost the same IP52 rating.
Specifications and Software of Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G
The Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G packs a MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max SoC, along with a MariSilicon X NPU, which the company says is primarily used to support video recording. MariSilicon X NPU is not new, it was first announced along with the launch of Oppo Find X5 Pro, a premium smartphone but was not launched in India.
The Reno 8 Pro 5G doesn't offer an expandable storage option, but the phone has space for two nano-SIM cards with dual 5G support. The phone supports dual standby and also supports stand alone and non stand alone 5G bands. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and NFC. In the box, you get a USB Type-C to Type-A cable, an 80W charger and a transparent TPU case.
