Having already presented a credible challenge to the flagship market with its relatively affordable and premium looking midrange smartphonesOppo have done it again.

The phone maker has unveiled the Reno 8 Series a mid-range Smartphone without necessarily sacrificing too many flagship features for its customers.

The Reno 8 comes with 5G and 4G but in this review we will be focusing on the 5G that comes with a large storage of up to 256GB in ROM and a ram of 8GB.

On the front, it has a 6.43-inch punch-hole display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner.

It is an OLED panel, which comes with Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The screen supports a Full HD+ resolution.

The OPPO Reno 8 5G has three flagship cameras at the back and one the front.

It has 50 MP + 8 MP + 2 MP Triple Rear Camera coupled with 4K @ 30 frames per second UHD Video Recording.

The 50-megapixel camera does a good job when it comes to snapping photos in daylight.

There is no significant shutter lag while shooting in normal mode. However, it can take a second or two more when snapping photos in low-light conditions.

The New Generation RGBW Sensor- With 60 percent more light and a 35 percent   reduction in noise, the new Sony IMX709 sensor changes everything.

Images produced in decent lighting are full of colour and detail, with well-represented windows in the cityscape settings. The main camera fares reasonably well after dark, too.

Battery & Design

One of the major attractions of the OPPO Reno 8 5G is its design.

The Reno 8 5G has flat edges and a unibody design, meaning it does not have a separate camera module.

With super-fast charging and impressive performance, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro is close to flagship greatness.

It’s game-changing 80w Supervooc charging brick in the box which can fully recharge your phone in less than 30 minutes about 40 minutes.

One great thing about the Reno 8 is that you won’t need to charge it more than once a day.

However, unlike some other brands there’s no wireless charging in the Oppo Reno 8 Series.
