Oppo Reno8 T 5G First Look: The best phone in the segment with powerful features

Oppo, the world's leading smart-device brand, is expanding its Oppo Reno series in India with the launch of its new phone, the Reno8 T 5G. Over the years, Oppo has been known for new technology launches and honesty. And now, with the launch of this new phone, another step has been taken in these matters. This new smartphone Oppo Reno8 and Oppo Reno8 Pro 5G offers a unique experience to the users. This phone is made with a premium design, it has a stunning design. It has amazing features to provide premium experience to the users. Oppo Reno8 T is designed with perfect features in terms of 5G specifications.

Now let's discuss what makes the Oppo Reno8 T 5G phone a great value phone and why it should be at the top of your shopping list.

We put the phone through its paces for a few days to check these details thoroughly. We know what kind of experience the Oppo Reno8 T 5G phone offers.

Design: Beautiful design and sturdy quality

We know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when we got our hands on the Oppo Reno8 T 5G, it felt pretty good. This fact is evidenced by the large number of people showing interest in this phone through our Sunrise Gold color review unit in the competition in the market. We've only tested this handset for a few days, but its dual micro-curved bevels carry the striking Oppo Glow design. Unfortunately, there were also a large number of inquiries from the audience who ignored the journalistic rules. The rear panel design of this smartphone, with rounded edges, brings the dual-camera module in a vertical design.

We didn't get a chance to see the Midnight Black color phone in person, but if the light reflects off the millions of pyramid-shaped crystals on the surface of the Sunrise Gold color phone, our Sunrise Gold unit will surely dazzle. This is difficult to put into words. And this beauty is not only in the top layers of the phone but also in the construction of the phone itself. This is because the device that comes to the market for consumers will also have a smudge resistant and fingerprint resistant coating.

The phone has excellent ergonomics with a beautiful and easy-to-use design. The phone weighs 171 grams with a solid build, but the combination of gently curved edges and ultra-slim 7.7mm thickness doesn't make it feel heavy in your hand. The Reno8 T 5G phone is one of the most flexible smartphones we have used till date. It is the thinnest and lightest device in these segments, making it the most comfortable device you can use throughout the day.

Display: Made for incredible enjoyment

In the current market of dull smartphones full of dull 2D panels, the Reno8 T 5G's 6.7-inch solid micro-curved Dragontrail-Star2 AMOLED display makes you want to touch it. The curved screen adds a classic look to the overall design. Furthermore, the design also makes this device sturdy. The bezels around the display are also very slim, resulting in a 93 percent screen-to-body ratio.

Furthermore, this display comes with 10-bit color support, which shows 64 times better color compared to the older 8-bit display technology. The Reno8 T 5G's display can display 1.07 billion colors. But, 8-bit panels only have a maximum of 16.7 million colors. Isn't that a wonderful thing?

But if you can't watch Netflix in its high-definition, what's the point of those colors? Fortunately, Oppo makes up for this by offering you full Wide Vine L1 certification. In layman's terms, it offers an unadulterated experience in full HD+ resolution. The same feature has also been extended to all streaming services that support the encryption standard, such as Amazon Prime Video.

Furthermore, Oppo's AI-enhanced Adaptive Eye Protection system ensures less eye strain for enjoying movies even in the dark. There were no issues even when we were watching entire web series or playing competitive mobile shooters in the wee hours of the morning while looking at the screen for long periods of time. Did you know that this phone's display supports 120Hz refresh rate? Let me tell you that the device is very thin and light with a 120Hz 3D curved screen. It made everything from gaming and web browsing to scrolling through the UI more enjoyable.

Camera: An amazing camera with a combination of hardware, software and AI

The ability to effortlessly capture great photos can mean the difference between a good flagship grade smartphone and performance. Oppo Reno8 T 5G can take amazing photos with its unique AI-technology and intelligent pixel-binning technology that elevates your camera. The 108MP primary camera sensor is useful in capturing life-like images. But what really makes the technology work is the nifty NonaPixel Plus binning technology.

We were really surprised when we saw the low-light photography of this phone. Oppo claims that its pixel-binning technology boosts performance by up to 37 percent for sharper photos. Even difficult dim light photos can be taken with complete ease. The Reno8 T 5G has given us complete confidence in its cameras.

Camera optimization continues with the phone's secondary 2MP depth sensor, which works with Oppo's software algorithm to deliver enhanced portrait bokeh flare effect, portrait matting and lens flare rendering effect photos. It also has three 40x microlenses that allow you to get very close to the subject for macro photography

Performance: Smartly designed for the future.

The Oppo Reno 8 T comes with 5G features, and it has excellent performance under its beautiful design. This smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC 5G chipset. It is built on a 6nm fabrication process. We tested it all with a lot of benchmarks and heavy gaming sessions, but thanks to the octa-core SoC processor it handled all these tasks with ease.

As 5G services are developing in India, it is important that your next smartphone is truly 5G ready. Oppo Reno8 T 5G is the future in this regard

Needless to say, proof that it was made for. Uploading huge videos to your YouTube channel or downloading big games? This Oppo device will not disappoint you. But more importantly, the low latency of its 5G radio ensures minimal ping while gaming.

Multitasking and app loading times are easily handled by the device's 8GB RAM capacity, which can be further increased up to 16GB via the virtual RAM expansion feature on this phone. The ColorOS 13 UI provides an amazing experience. The phone's solid dynamic computing engine can easily run 18 apps simultaneously in the background.

Oppo Reno 8 T 5G is the first device in the Reno lineup to launch with the Android 13-based Color OS 13 operating system. The brand promises two Android updates and four years of security patch updates for the handset.

Data privacy is definitely an important matter, Color OS 13 includes advanced security and privacy features to this effect. Other key features include Smart Always On Display, Meeting Assistant and Auto Pixelate feature. Also, for example, the privacy protection feature automatically deletes clipboard contents after a certain period of time to prevent information leakage. Additionally, the Private Safe feature is also encrypted with the acclaimed Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

The smartphone packs in dual stereo speakers with Dirac surround sound—a true feature for audiophiles. On a more practical note, we also found an Ultra Volume mode that boosts speaker volume by up to 200 percent, which is especially useful in noisy outdoor spaces.

Battery: Lasts like a marathon

The Oppo Reno8 T 5G phone packs a 4,800mAh battery. Coupled with Color OS 13, this battery efficient Snapdragon 695 SoC provides excellent performance. It also delivered all-day battery life when tested in our tough conditions that included streaming videos, browsing, music playback, UI navigation, gaming and more.

Even if you use the battery anyway, the 67-watt SuperVOOCTM fast charger can recharge the battery from zero to 100 percent in about 45 minutes.
