OPPO today announced the launch of its latest Reno Series smartphone — the OPPO Reno8 Series 5G — in Malaysia. Designed to be a Portrait Expert in every aspect, Reno8 Pro 5G is equipped with OPPO’s first self-developed, dedicated imaging NPU, MariSilicon X. With the support of MariSilicon X’s powerful image processing capabilities, Reno8 Pro 5G delivers a series of innovative camera features to help users shoot ultra-clear portraits in even the most challenging scenarios.
Ultra-clear portraits in any situation
Equipped with a slew of flagship imaging features, Reno8 Pro 5G brings ultra-clear portrait photos and videos to all-new heights with its powerful hardware and software foundations.
At the core of this unrivalled portrait experience is OPPO’s first self-developed imaging NPU, MariSilicon X, which provides an immense level of dedicated computing power for Reno8 Pro 5G’s imaging features, all while consuming even less power. Built on cutting-edge 6nm process technology and industry leading DSA architecture, MariSilicon X is able to deliver an incredible 18 trillion operations per second (18 TOPS) of dedicated image processing power. With this large computing power and high data throughput, MariSilicon X can perform lossless real-time 4K AI processing and up to 20bit HDR fusion in the RAW domain, while achieving up to 8dB signal-to-noise ratio for images. Through its ability to directly process images in the lossless RAW domain, MariSilicon X acts as an unmatched foundation for Reno8 Pro 5G’s ultimate imaging experience.
To further optimize the shooting experience in lowlight environments, both Reno8 Pro 5G and Reno8 5G feature an upgraded Dual Sony Flagship Sensors — the IMX709 for the front camera and the IMX766 for the rear camera.
Sony IMX709 is a next-generation RGBW 32MP camera sensor customized by OPPO. It ensures 60% increase for light intake and 35% improvement for noise reduction[1] when compared with traditional RGGB sensors. Together with OPPO’s self-designed Quadra Binning algorithm, every selfie will look dynamically bright and sharp no matter in lowlight or backlight scenes. Together with DOL-HDR technology embedded on the sensor, the IMX709 enables front camera to easily capture high-quality, professional-looking selfies in any scenarios. Additionally, the IMX709 on the Reno8 Pro 5G supports AutoFocus on the front camera for the first time, enabling 2x zoom when taking selfies. With a minimum focal distance of 15cm, it is now possible to capture super close-up shots using Reno8 Pro 5G’s front camera, offering unprecedented detail in selfies.
On the rear camera, the Reno8 Series 5G comes with the SONY IMX766 sensor, delivering an enhanced portrait experience with its large 1/1.56-inch sensor size and features like All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF and DOL-HDR.
Powered by MariSlicon X Imaging NPU and the Dual Sony Flagship Sensors, Reno8 Pro 5G provides a flagship-level portrait camera experience. It is also the first time that 4K video shooting has been brought to a smartphone at this price point range - with 4K Ultra Night Video, users can capture ultra-clear portrait videos at night, while 4K Ultra HDR Video optimizes portrait videos taken in the presence of glaring backlight such as when there is strong sunlight. Both features can significantly improve image quality and color expression in pictures, avoiding over-exposure in bright areas while retaining the maximum amount of detail in dark areas. Aided by the inbuilt AI-enhanced retouching algorithms, human faces appear more natural and vivid in photos and videos shot with the device.
Eye-catching design with a unique streamlined unibody

For the first time on the Reno Series, a Streamlined Unibody Design has been featured on the Reno8 Series 5G. Using OPPO’s special high-temperature, high-pressure hot forging process, the camera casing and the back cover of the mobile phone are seamlessly integrated. The stunning seamless design makes the phone aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to hold while preventing dust from getting trapped around the camera area.
Unique to the Reno8 Pro 5G’s design is the Prominent Binocular Camera Module and Ring Flash featured in its camera area, highlighting the phone’s powerful camera features through its distinctive design.
On the front of the device, the Reno8 5G comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with 90.8% screen-to-body ratio and 90Hz refresh rate that delivers buttery-smooth graphics.
Meanwhile, the Reno8 Pro 5G features a 6.7" Ultra-Clear AMOLED display with a 93.4% screen-to-body ratio, supporting 1 billion colors, and 120Hz refresh rate for a smoother and more comfortable viewing experience with enhanced interaction. Its’ display is also HDR10+, SGS Low Motion Blur and SGS Low Blue Light certified as well as HD & HDR certified for Amazon and Netflix.
The Reno8 5G comes with a 7.67mm in thickness and 179g in weight and is available in two trendy colors — Shimmer Gold and Shimmer Black. On the other hand, the Reno8 Pro 5G is the thinnest Reno Series smartphone to date – measuring at just 7.34 mm in thickness, and weighing just 183 g[2], fitting perfectly into its user’s hands. It will be available in two new stunning color finishes – Glazed Green and Glazed Black.
All-round smooth performance
The Reno8 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 1300 5G-integrated SoC. Built on the 6nm process, the octa-core SoC includes an ARM Cortex-A78 ultra-core that operates at up to 3GHz to deliver the ultimate computing power. The standard build comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM.
Powering Reno8 Pro 5G’s smooth performance is the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-MAX integrated 5G SoC. Built on the industry standards - 5nm processor, the octa-core SoC delivers more powerful performance with even lower power consumption. Reno8 Pro 5G comes with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of ROM storage. The smartphone also introduces the highly efficient LPDDR5 read and write storage management system for the first time on the Reno Series.
To help users enjoy its all-round flagship features for longer, both Reno8 Pro 5G and Reno8 5G include a suite of charging and battery features designed to deliver a faster, safer, and more reliable experience, OPPO’s proprietary super-fast 80W SUPERVOOCTM is able to charge the devices’ 4500mAh battery to 50%[3] in only 11 minutes, and a 5-minute charge is enough to give 2 hours of mobile gaming[4]. Together with the Battery Health Engine, their battery lifespan can be extended up to 1600 charge/discharge cycles[5], or roughly four years of average use - double the current industry standard. Further to this, with the inclusion of OPPO’s 5-Layer Charging Protection, both devices have passed TÜV Rheinland’s Safe Fast-Charge System Certification [6] in recognition of its outstanding overall safety performance.
Additionally, to improve heat dissipation significantly, Reno8 Pro 5G comes equipped with Ultra-Conductive Cooling System while Reno8 5G comes with Super-Conductive Vapor Chamber (VC) Liquid Cooling System. Both features ensure that the phones can always run smoothly within a comfortable temperature range.
Boasting several hardware and software optimizations, Reno8 Series 5G’s users can enjoy an all-round smooth experience that has been awarded an A Rating in TÜV SÜD’s 36-Month Fluency test. For mobile gamers, Reno8 Series 5G is also packed full of system-level optimizations tailored to gaming. OPPO has worked with PUBG to build a Background Update [7 feature to enable background downloading for games, so users will not have to be stuck on a downloading screen. Together with pro-level gaming features like 1000Hz Ultra Touch Response [8], users can enjoy their most frequently played games in a smoother and more immersive way. In addition, to enable a more immersive gaming experience, the Reno8 Pro 5G also features 90Hz high-refresh mode for PUBG Mobile, one of the highest in the industry.
Tying this all together is ColorOS 12.1 — the gateway to a smarter, smoother, and safer smartphone experience. Features likes Air Gestures and Multi-Screen Connect [9] help to dramatically improve productivity, enabling more intelligent and convenient ways of working. Highly customizable Omoji also gives users more creative ways to personalize their phone and operating system. To ensure user privacy and safety, ColorOS 12.1 comes with features like Anti-peeping for Notifications, Require Password to Power Off, and Recent Tasks Protection, all of which have contributed to Reno8 Pro 5G being awarded authoritative third-party privacy and security certifications, ISO27001, ISO277001 and more.
