The Oppo Reno8 Pro is powered by the customized Dimensity 8100-Max chipset, This 5nm chip has four Cortex-A78 cores, four A55 and a Mali-G610 MC6 GPU. It has a fairly capable ISP, but image processing tasks are actually delegated to Oppo’s in-house MariSilicon X chip, which has 18 TOPS of number crunching power and works in 20-bit dynamic range. We will get back to the cameras in a second. he other major advantage of the Pro is the 6.7” AMOLED display. It has 1,080 x 2,412px resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support (plus the certifications for high-quality video streaming from Netflix and Amazon).
PUBG can run on the Reno8 Pro in 90Hz
mode, a first for the Reno series (phones need to be whitelisted for high
refresh rate mode). Another cool feature for this game is Background Update:
updates are downloaded in the background and you will see a hovering button
when it’s ready to install (not available in Japan and India).
Both Reno8 phones have the same camera
setups, at least as far as the hardware is concerned – the Pro model will have
better processing thanks to that MariSilicon chip. The main camera on the back
is based on the 50MP Sony IMX766, a 1/1.56” sensor (1.0µm pixels) behind an
f/1.8 7P lens (23mm) with omni-directional PDAF, dual native ISO and 12-bit
image output. Also on the back is an 8MP ultra wide camera (IMX355, 1/4”,
1.12µm) with a 112° 16mm lens. Finally, there is a 2MP macro camera on here.
Flipping over to the front, the selfie
camera is based on the 32MP IMX709 sensor (1/2.74”, 0.8µm). This sensor uses an
RGBW matrix for better low light performance. Another thing to note is that
this selfie camera has autofocus and a fairly wide FoV of 90°. Both the IMX709
and the IMX766 support DOL-HDR for 4x wider dynamic range. There are a few other
perks left to mention. The Pro model has dual speakers and an X-axis linear
motor for haptic feedback. There is also an extra layer of graphite to lead
head out through the back. The back of the Pro is made out of glass, by the
way.
The Oppo Reno8 Pro will be available in
India from July 19, starting at ₹ 46,000 for the 8/256GB version. There is also
a version with 12GB of RAM.
