Dual Sony Flagship Sensors



Determined to strengthened its position as the ‘Portrait Expert’, the Reno8 Pro received a host of milestone upgrades to its camera systems, including incorporating two of Sony’s flagship sensors.

Your night photography game is set to take a step up with the 1/1.56-inch IMX766 Sensor. This flagship sensor fitted onto the 50MP main camera enhances your photo-taking experience in dark environments by increasing light intake, making sure you capture all the details even in low-light settings.

Furthermore, an embedded DOL-HDR (Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range) technology gives videos 4x more dynamic range, ensuring accuracy in highlights and shadows. With the DOL-HDR’s capability in retaining colours and details, your videos will be as vibrant as ever.

Selfie enthusiast can rejoice with the 32MP front camera, now fitted with Sony’s IMX709 Sensor with AutoFocus. This sensor, which was exclusively customized by OPPO in collaboration with Sony, is tailored to receive 60% more light AND to reduce noise by 20.2% for crystal clear photos.

Exceptional Night Portrait



Take quality portraits at night thanks to Reno8 Pro’s Night Portrait Mode. The exceptional noise reduction and the ability to capture true to life photos will turn your night photoshoots into a whole new aesthetic.

Adding to that is the Turbo RAW Algorithm which accelerates the optimizing process during photo-taking. The Reno8 Pro now optimizes your night images 60% faster than it did with the previous gen Renos, giving you higher quality images at a better speed.

MariSilicon X Processor



OPPO has also incorporated it’s cutting edge MariSilicon X into the Reno8 Pro. Just FYI, the MariSilicon X is OPPO’s self-developed imaging processor heralded for offering better colour performance and details in video shooting.

Despite most of its hype focused mainly on the camera, the Reno8 Pro does not compromise on overall phone performance and design. This is the thinnest Reno ever created at 7.34mm thickness, weighing in only at 183g. The Reno8 Pro’s display is a 6.7-inch Ultra Clear AMOLED Display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
