Weekly survey results: Oppo Reno8 Pro + stands out from the other two

The Oppo Reno8 trio is mostly made up of the same things, but the three models received surprisingly different results in last week’s survey: one did quite well, one didn’t have love, and one was somewhere in between.

Of the three, the Oppo Reno8 Pro + was a favorite of most people. That Dimensity 8100-Max is a big draw, and the 120Hz 10-bit AMOLED display promises excellent picture quality. But as one commentator says, chipsets and displays aren’t everything.

Despite having the custom MariSilicon X ISP on board, people weren’t impressed with the camera setup. The 50MP main camera is OIS-free, the 8MP ultra wide-angle module is too low resolution and there is no telephoto lens.

The Oppo Reno8 Pro has exactly the same hardware as the camera (including MariSilicon), but it wasn’t that popular, how come? People aren’t being sold on Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. This is the first phone to feature Qualcomm’s new mid-range chip, so if the chip can prove naysayers wrong, the Pro phone could rise in popularity.

Then there is the vanilla Oppo Reno8, which barely has any points on the scoreboard. The advantages over the Dimensity 1300 over the old 1200 are unclear and Oppo has really skimped on the hardware features here – the base 8MP ultra-wide camera is also missing. Considering the prices, the vanilla model faces stiff competition from rival brands (including the cousins ​​of Realme and OnePlus).

As for the previous generation Reno7, it fell out of favor, which is good news for Oppo. These twice-yearly refresh cycles sometimes lead to an awkward situation where the older model is more desirable. This is not the case with the Reno7 and 8 series.

Even so, the new trio has a lot to prove: As the poll shows, most voters weren’t convinced this series had the right phone for them.

Open sales of the Oppo Reno8 Pro + and Reno8 started in China earlier this week, the Reno8 Pro will be available starting next Saturday. Oppo hasn’t announced an international release yet, but we’re keeping our ears on the ground.
