The latest Reno series with exceptional low-light camera capabilities
The Reno Series is constantly gaining popularity. As of the third quarter of 2021, OPPO’s Reno series ranked first globally among the ‘New Age smartphone families’¹. Additionally, since the launch of Reno series in early 2019, OPPO has shipped over 80 million Reno devices worldwide².

The OPPO Reno series features great camera capabilities and a unique design; and coming to the newest generation, Reno8 5G employs the latest camera innovation for users to capture their best moments even in the most challenging lighting scenarios.

The Reno8 features Dual Sony Flagship Sensors, including the 32MP IMX709 RGBW sensor for the selfie camera, which enables users to capture clearer selfies in low light, and the 50MP IMX766 sensor in the rear for flagship-level camera performance.

Flagship charging speeds with incredible battery lifespan
80W SUPERVOOC_TM on the Reno8 5G empowers users to charge the 4500 mAh battery to 50% in around 10 minutes, and to 100% in around 30 minutes. With Battery Health Engine, Reno8 5G keeps up to 80% of its original capacity after 1,600 full charge cycles³, which is twice the industry standard (800 cycles), making it the longest smartphone battery lifespan on the market.

With Reno8 5G, OPPO continues its devotion to offering an industry-leading charging experience to global users. Since 2014, thanks to OPPO’s charging technologies over 220 million people around the world have earned back countless hours in their day.

Light and streamlined unibody design for a smooth hand feel
The new Reno8 5G features a streamlined unibody design that integrates both the camera module and back cover for a smooth hand feel. Available in Shimmer Gold and Shimmer Black with OPPO Glow for a stunning gradient look and fewer fingerprints, whilst boasting a high refresh rate AMOLED display.
