Here. OPPO unveiled the entire Reno8 family in China at the end of last May, and after a little over three months, European users can finally sink our teeth into it. We had the opportunity to experiment with a certain calmness Reno8 Pro model We guess that it is a smartphone that will not leave you indifferent at an event organized by OPPO in Madrid.

And a cell phone with a lot of personality. Its very careful design is one of its distinguishing features, but in addition it is dedicated to a MediaTek processor that looks very good on paper and gives us a well thought out camera set. However, that’s not all. Another appetizer is coming: OPPO tells us that battery life will be twice as long than other cell phones. Here it is.

OPPO Reno8 Pro: technical specifications

Careful design with a well-integrated camera module

This smartphone is stylish. If we stay true to its design, it plays in the same league as any other high-end mobile we can find in stores right now. Its side bezels are 1.48mm, and its sub-frames are also 2.37mm, which is quite moderate and has a thickness of 7.34mm. Actually, it is the best device Published by OPPO so far.

In any case, what makes it stand out with authority from a good portion of the terminals it will compete with is its finish. Its metal frame is impeccably machined and the back of the smartphone is made of glass. It looks like we haven’t noticed anything new at the moment, but yes, this mobile has one unusual feature: the back surface. a single glass even this puts the camera module together.

This brand has always indulged in the making of their most sophisticated offerings, but it’s interesting to note the effects that fine-tuning a finish like that of this Reno8 Pro includes. the back of the terminal is not a Gorilla Glass manufactured by the American company Corning. Actually designed and manufactured. by OPPO itself.

Of course, according to the Chinese brand, the rear window to us same hardnessMore rigidity and impact resistance than the most advanced solutions Corning has today. We will of course check this Reno8 Pro in depth and when we have the opportunity to review it at our own facilities.

One more point that should not be overlooked: the shaping of the 75-degree micro arc, which, according to OPPO, softens the placement of the camera module on the back of this mobile, extraordinarily demanding and this greatly complicates the manufacture of the smartphone.

This screen lives up to what one would expect from a high-end PC.

During this first contact, the display of this mobile did not disappoint us. Go to a clipboard 6.7 inch AMOLED It has Full HD+ resolution, 10-bit color depth and 120 Hz refresh rate. It’s not impressive because we’ve seen it in many mobile phones before, but it’s suitable for these features. We can charge the price of this Reno8 Pro for a mobile phone.

However, we have one more piece of information worth mentioning: according to OPPO, the organic matrix of this terminal is capable of providing maximum brightness. 950 nits. This figure is not a record, but it is very good and should allow us to use it comfortably in areas with a lot of ambient light. As soon as we receive a test unit, we will check it.

Unfortunately, during this initial contact, I did not have the opportunity to analyze the quality of the AMOLED panel of this mobile using my usual testing tools, but yes, I was able to verify this. reproduces color richly and a very convincing level of saturation, as well as fast scrolls in the interface are performed smoothly and without blurring the images.

The photography profession of this smartphone is without a doubt

Now let’s go with your cameras. The front unit uses a sensor 32 megapixel IMX709 Manufactured by Sony working with an optic with an aperture of f/2.4. These specs fit well with what a decent selfie camera should have, so I have no objections.

However, I think the most interesting part is in the rear, in the camera module. The main unit includes a sensor 50 megapixel IMX766 Manufactured by Sony working with an optic with an aperture of f/1.8. At this first contact, we didn’t have the opportunity to fully test it, but we were able to test it in an area with almost no ambient light, as we’ll see in a few minutes.

The second camera in this module is a wide-angle unit equipped with a sensor. 8 megapixel IMX355 It is also produced by Sony, working in conjunction with an optic with an aperture of f/2.2. And finally, the third camera is a 2-megapixel macro unit powered by a lens with f/2.4 aperture. As we have just seen, this mobile does not offer us a special telephoto lens.

During this pretest, I didn’t get a chance to go out to test this smartphone in several different shooting scenarios, but as I mentioned in a few paragraphs above, I was able to test its shooting capability. in night mode in a room that is almost completely dark. You can see the result in the two photos surrounding these lines.

What amazes me the most is the level of detail that this mobile has managed to recover despite the almost complete absence of light. In addition, the noise level it emits in these conditions is moderate, and even more impressive is its processing. manages to restore the color with unusual precision. In fact, there was so little light in the room that we in the room could not perceive the color of the objects with our own eyes. We had to refer to these photographs to be able to identify him.

This cell phone hits the high end determined to get in the way

Before we end this conversation with the Reno8 Pro, it’s worth briefly reviewing another feature that many users will definitely appreciate: OPPO assures that this terminal’s battery is designed to give us. 1600 charge cycles. The amazing thing is that most smartphone batteries do not exceed 800 charge cycles, so on paper this mobile battery doubles the standard lifespan. It’s not, but it’s not a bad thing.

In addition, charging technology 80 Watt SuperVOOC It promises to charge 100% of the 4500 mAh battery included in this device, which OPPO presented to us, in just 35 minutes. Sounds good. We hope to soon have the opportunity to analyze this smartphone in depth and in our own facilities to make a more in-depth article, but as we have just seen, this Reno8 Pro promises to struggle in its price segment. There is no doubt about it.
