The Oppo Reno8 launched in July 2022 as an upper mid-range smartphone offering a nice balance of features and performance. Let’s dive into what this device brings to the table:

Design & Display
The Reno8 has a premium glass front (Gorilla Glass 5) and plastic back/frame design. At 7.7mm thick and 179g, it’s fairly slim and lightweight. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is bright at up to 800 nits peak brightness and has a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. It boasts a high screen-to-body ratio of 83.9%.

Performance
Powering the Reno8 is MediaTek’s capable Dimensity 1300 chipset, built on a 6nm process. It pairs an octa-core CPU with a Mali-G77 MC9 GPU to provide zippy performance for most tasks and gaming. You get either 8GB or 12GB RAM options.

Camera Capabilities
The triple rear camera system is headlined by a 50MP f/1.8 main shooter with PDAF and OIS. There’s also an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro sensor. For selfies, you get a 32MP front camera. Camera features include 4K video recording, dual-LED flash, panorama, HDR, and more.

Battery & Charging
The 4,500mAh battery provides all-day battery life for most users. But the standout is the blazing fast 80W wired charging which can top up the Reno8 from 1-100% in just 28 minutes!

Other Specs
It runs Android 12 out of the box with Oppo’s ColorOS 14 skin on top. You can update to Android 14 as well. Other specs include 128GB or 256GB storage, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Pricing & Availability
The Oppo Reno8 launched at 350,000  Naira for the base 8GB/128GB version. Despite being over a year old now, it remains a very capable all-rounder in the mid-range segment with its well-rounded hardware and fast charging capabilities.

Overall, the Oppo Reno8 ticks a lot of the right boxes for a mid-range device with its vibrant AMOLED display, capable processor, multi-camera setup, and ultra-fast charging speeds. If you’re looking for a well-built mid-ranger that doesn’t break the bank, the Reno8 is worth a look.
