OPPO Reno 8T 5G promises to deliver an exceptional experience to smartphone enthusiasts. In this review, we will explore the specifications and price of the Oppo Reno 8T 5G and evaluate how it performs in various aspects.

Key Features of Oppo Reno 8T 5G

Read on to get a detailed review of Oppo Reno 8T 5G.

Design

The first look will impress you with the design as it has the appearance of a high-end luxury device. Weighing only 171 grams and measuring 7.7mm thin, this phone is so lightweight, giving you effortless carrying.

The sleek and stylish look of this phone is enhanced by its curved edges, and the unobstructed experience is guaranteed by the punch-hole notch and slim bezel. Unfortunately, the micro-curved design makes it more prone to breakage, so it is recommended to use the phone with a translucent cover to protect it.

The rear side of the phone has a camera module that is slightly raised, housing the much-hyped 108-megapixel primary camera and other camera sensors. A glowing strip encircles the camera module, complementing the surface color.

Oppo states that the back of the phone is made up of millions of pyramid-shaped crystals that are etched at a microscopic level, and the surface is also said to be fingerprint-proof. You can choose from two colors, Sunrise Gold and Midnight Black.

Display

Featuring a 6.7-inch curved Dragontrail Star2 AMOLED panel with FHD+ resolution, a 93% screen-to-body ratio, and support for 16.7 million colors, the Oppo Reno8 T 5G offers a stunning visual experience. With a 10-bit color depth, the phone is capable of rendering an impressive 1 billion colors.

Even to the amateur user, the display is undeniably vibrant. Users can opt for their preferred display mode, choosing between vivid and natural options available in the phone's settings. The phone's display is a standout feature, offering clear visibility even under bright sunlight.

Speakers

The phone's speakers add to the immersive experience of watching films and OTT shows, delivering impressive sound quality. Oppo's claimed that the Reno 8T offers an unparalleled audio-visual experience as the speakers are equipped with Real Original Sound Technology and provide surround sound for all types of media.

You will experience some of the best stereo speakers you have seen in this price range. The audio is clear, loud, and impressive, making it a joy to listen to music, and you may even find yourself dancing to some upbeat songs while cooking dinner.

The standout feature of the speakers is the Ultra Volume mode, which allows the sound levels to be boosted to an amazing 200, providing an even more intense audio experience. The sound quality remains crystal clear even at the maximum volume of 200, without any loss in audio fidelity.

Cameras

Equipped with a triple camera setup at the back, the Oppo Reno 8T 5G offers a 108MP main camera, a 2MP depth camera, and a 34mm 2MP microscope camera. The camera app is user-friendly and straightforward, with no complicated features.

The phone offers a range of modes, including night, portrait, video, photo pro, Extra HD, Slo-Mo, Panorama, dual view video, and more.

Additionally, the phone has a 32MP selfie camera featuring f/204 aperture and 22mm lens.

When used correctly, the bokeh effect can produce stunning images. The Oppo Reno 8T 5G also delivers impressive results when taking selfies, particularly for those who enjoy beautifying and enhancing pictures. The front-facing portrait mode also produced excellent outcomes.

However, the phone's camera might not be as impressive in low-light conditions. Taking a picture in night mode may not get the expected results. However, the photos in daylight remain reasonably decent.

The double-view video recording feature, which enables users to capture themselves and others simultaneously, is a great feature. If you are usually the one behind the camera, documenting life's little moments with nobody to capture your own presence, this feature will come in handy.

Performance

The Reno 8T is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC, 8GB RAM, and 128 GB. 256GB storage and the capacity can be increased up to 1TB with a microSD card. The Oppo Reno 8T 5G operates on ColorOS 13, which is based on Android 13, offering a wide range of customization options for a personalized experience.

The device comes with an always-on display that functions effectively, and features such as automatic removal of clipboard activity after a brief interval, private safe, and more enhance its privacy aspect. Because of the high-performing processor, the phone will perform without any signs of lagging or hanging.

The only downside you may find is the bloatware. The phone is not jumbled with ads but does have pre-installed applications like Spotify, Netflix, Share Chat, Flipkart, LinkedIn, and other bloatware.

Additionally, the Oppo Reno 8T provides 5G connectivity, as well as Face ID and a fingerprint sensor. During the use of the phone, no users encountered any issues with either the Face ID or fingerprint sensor, both of which functioned flawlessly.

Battery

Equipped with a 4,800 mAh battery, the Reno 8T can charge at an incredibly rapid pace with its 67-wired charger. With the included charger, the phone charged from 0 to 100% in just about 30 minutes. With moderate usage, the battery will last for more than 36 hours without engaging in any gaming or streaming of OTT content during this period.

Price of Oppo Reno8 T 5G

The 8+128GB version is priced at 29,000 rupees which is Tk. 38,606 (1 rupee = Tk. 1.29). However, the official price of OPPO Reno8 T 5g in Bangladesh may vary due to tax and other issues.

Verdict

The Oppo Reno8 T 5G boasts an attractive design, a comfortable feel, and high-end specifications. If you're looking for a device that allows you to take stunning photos, enjoy streaming OTT content, play games, and multitask with ease, the Oppo Reno 8T 5G is definitely worth considering.
