OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G (CPH2357) 12GB RAM 256GB ROM Review – In-Depth Analysis

The OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G (CPH2357) arrived on my desk promising a premium smartphone experience, and after weeks of rigorous testing, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This international version boasts impressive specs: 12GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, and a vibrant 6.7-inch AMOLED display. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s delve in.

The Reno8 Pro 5G is a sleek device with a comfortable, streamlined unibody design. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display is a real standout, offering vibrant colors and deep blacks. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and gaming incredibly smooth. Other notable features include the 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, which truly impressed me – a full charge in under an hour! The dual SIM functionality is also a welcome addition for users juggling personal and work lines.

Powered by an octa-core processor (specifics not provided, needs further details), the Reno8 Pro 5G handles everyday tasks with ease. Multitasking is smooth, and even demanding games ran without significant lag. The 12GB of RAM contributes greatly to this seamless performance. Battery life was consistently good, lasting a full day on a single charge with moderate to heavy use. The 80W fast charging is a game-changer, offering a quick top-up when needed. In benchmark tests (results needed to be added), the device performed admirably, exceeding my expectations for a phone in its price range. During my testing, I experienced no significant overheating, even under prolonged use.

The camera system is a significant highlight of the Reno8 Pro 5G. The 50MP main sensor captures incredibly detailed images, even in low-light conditions. The 4K Ultra Night Video and 4K Ultra HDR Video modes are impressive, producing stunning footage with excellent dynamic range. The 32MP front-facing camera (Sony IMX709) also performs exceptionally well, delivering sharp and clear selfies. Features like 960fps AI slow-motion and Hyperlapse add creative options for videography. While the image quality is excellent in good lighting, low-light performance could benefit from slight improvements. Autofocus was generally reliable but struggled slightly in very low light situations.

Pros:

  • Stunning AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
  • Excellent camera performance, especially in video recording
  • Blazing-fast 80W SuperVOOC charging
  • Smooth and responsive performance thanks to 12GB RAM
  • Sleek and comfortable design

Cons:

  • Low-light camera performance could be improved
  • Occasional minor autofocus issues in low light
  • (Add any other cons experienced during testing)

Overall, the OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G (CPH2357) is a fantastic smartphone offering a compelling combination of performance, stunning visuals, and exceptional camera capabilities. While minor improvements could be made to the low-light camera performance, these are easily overshadowed by the device’s many strengths. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Reno8 Pro 5G to anyone looking for a high-performance, feature-rich smartphone with a premium feel.
