OPPO announced the launch of its latest Reno Series—the OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G at INR 45,999 and OPPO Reno8 5G at INR 29,999—in India
OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G: The end-to-end imaging solution
The new OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G is an imaging expert backed by OPPO's proprietary imaging NPU, the MariSilicon X. The self-developed NPU packs 3.5 billion transistors and is capable of 18 trillion operations per second. This processing muscle results in crisp and clear 4K Ultra Night Video even in the most challenging scenarios.
Additionally, the handset packs the RGBW Sony IMX709 selfie sensor and Sony's 50MP IMX766 rear shooter for an unparalleled photography experience. The rear setup includes an 112° 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP macro snapper.
On the design front, Reno8 Pro, which will be available in Glazed Green and Glazed Black, features a streamlined unibody design with a Gorilla Glass 5 back and an aluminium frame for added durability.
The handset packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-MAX SoC and a 4500mAH battery with OPPO's 80W SUPERVOOCTM Flash Charge. OPPO's Battery Health Engine (BHE) technology enables the batteries to retain 80% of their original capacity after 1,600 charge cycles (double the industry standard of 800 charges). This extends the smartphone's life to over four years. Additionally, OPPO's Ultra-Conductive Graphite Cooling System improves cooling by 45% over traditional graphite for an even extra bump in performance.
OPPO Reno8 5G: The all-round performer
The OPPO Reno8 5G features the same dual Sony camera sensors, the IMX709 and the IMX766. It also boasts of OPPO's rich ecosystem of AI-enhanced imaging features such as Ultra Night Video, Night Portrait and Bokeh Flare video.
This device, which runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC along with OPPO's Super-Conductive VC Liquid Cooling System and ColorOS 12.1, has been designed to deliver an all-round performance to users.
Like the Reno8 Pro 5G, the Reno8 5G sports a streamlined unibody design and is available in two colours: Shimmer Gold and Shimmer Black.
This device also comes with 80W SUPERVOOCTM for up to one-and-half day of use on a single charge. OPPO's Battery Health Engine (BHE) technology—the same as on the Reno8 Pro 5G—lets Reno8 5G perform at its peak for four years straight without a fall in battery health and at the same high safety levels.
Both, the Reno8 Pro and the Reno8 carry the TÜV SÜD certification for fluency attenuation after 36 months of use. Its 'A' grade—the highest rating—indicates that the Reno8 Pro and the Reno8 deliver the same smooth performance at the beginning, and after three years of use.
Speaking on the new Reno8 Series, Damyant Singh Khanoria, Chief Marketing Officer, OPPO India, said: "OPPO has emerged as the market leader in technological innovations. With the Reno8 Pro and the Reno8—two beautifully designed devices—we have set benchmarks in imaging with our self-developed MariSilicon X Neural Processing Unit (NPU). Our SUPERVOOCTM and BHE technologies charge batteries faster, they are safer to use, and we have also managed to increase the lifespan of our devices with the promise of peak performance for longer. We at OPPO are very excited for our consumers to use and experience these new products."
OPPO enters the tablet market
In addition to the Reno8 series, OPPO also launched the OPPO Pad Air at INR 16,999 for the 4 GB 64GB version and INR 19,999 for the 4GB +128GB version.

The tablet comes with the category-first TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light eye comfort certification for enhanced viewing experience.
It features the industry-first Sunset Dune 3D Texture; at 6.94mm thickness, it is one of the slimmest tablets in the segment with an Agile Floating screen design along with OPPO Glow that also provides a fingerprint-free, all-metal scratch-free cover to the device.
The tablet runs on ColorOS 12 for Pad. It supports several new features such as multi-device connection, two-finger split-screen, dual windows, and four-finger floating window for a user-friendly reading experience.
