The Oppo Reno8 4G is the latest addition to Oppo’s mid-range Reno lineup, released in August 2022. Packing some solid hardware at an attractive price point, this phone aims to deliver good performance and features for budget-conscious buyers. Let’s dive into what the Reno8 4G has to offer.

Design & Display
The Reno8 4G has a sleek design with a 6.43-inch AMOLED display sporting a 1080 x 2400 resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, and up to 800 nits of peak brightness. The body is just 7.7mm thin and weighs 182 grams. It’s available in Dawnlight Gold and Starlight Black colors. A unique design touch is the RGB ring light around the camera module that can show notifications and charging progress.

Performance
Under the hood is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 4G chipset built on a 6nm process, paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of fast UFS 2.2 storage (expandable via microSD). This mid-range chip should handle day-to-day tasks and some gaming reasonably well. The software is ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12.

Camera System
Photography relies on a triple camera setup led by a 64MP main sensor with f/1.7 aperture and PDAF. It’s joined by a 2MP microscope camera and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, you get a 32MP front camera. While not flagship-level, this array should capture decent photos and videos capped at 1080p@30fps.

Battery & Other Features
Keeping things running is a respectable 4,500mAh battery that supports 33W wired charging. Other noteworthy features include an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and IPX4 water resistance.

Pricing & Availability
The Oppo Reno8 4G launched at around 250,200  Naira. For the specs and features on offer, this seems like a fairly affordable option in the mid-range segment.

The Reno8 4G covers the core basics well while adding some nice extras like a high-refresh AMOLED panel, fast charging support, and a unique notification light. It looks like a capable all-around device for users on a budget. We’ll have to see how it fares in real-world performance and camera quality. But based on the spec sheet, the Oppo Reno8 4G could be a compelling mid-range contender.
