Oppo has expanded its popular Reno series with the launch of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G (2025 edition) in India. Positioned in the ₹30,900 to ₹39,999 price bracket (ex-showroom), the Reno 8 Pro combines stylish design, powerful performance, and advanced cameras to appeal to tech enthusiasts, urban professionals, and photography lovers.
With a 400MP unique camera system, 6500mAh long-lasting battery, and curved AMOLED display, the phone is clearly designed to challenge other premium mid-range smartphones in India’s competitive 5G segment.
Sleek and Premium Design
The Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G continues Oppo’s legacy of offering stylish and slim smartphones. Measuring 162.4mm x 74.1mm x 7.66mm and weighing just 181 grams, the phone is lightweight and easy to handle.
Its glass front and back paired with an aluminum frame give it a premium in-hand feel. With IP54 water and dust resistance, it is durable enough for daily use.
The Reno 8 Pro is available in two elegant color options – Rock Grey and Pearl White – catering to buyers who prefer a sophisticated urban design.
Clear and Immersive AMOLED Display
On the front, the phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution (1080 × 2412 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate. This ensures smooth scrolling, fluid animations, and immersive gaming.
Supporting HDR10+ and a peak brightness of 950 nits, the display performs well under direct sunlight. With a 394 ppi pixel density, colors appear vibrant and text looks sharp.
For added security and convenience, the device includes an in-display fingerprint sensor and eye comfort mode, making it suitable for long sessions of streaming or reading
Powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Processor
Under the hood, the Reno 8 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 chipset. Paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, the processor is tuned for smooth multitasking, streaming, and app usage.
The phone handles most daily tasks and photography with ease, though feedback suggests gaming performance is average, and the phone can heat up under heavy loads.
One limitation is that storage is not expandable, meaning users will need to manage space within the provided 256GB.
Advanced 400MP Camera System
The highlight feature of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G is its 400MP unique camera system. The triple rear setup includes:
- 50MP main sensor with OIS for sharp, detailed photos.
- 32MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom for portraits.
- 8MP ultra-wide lens for capturing landscapes and group shots.
On the front, the phone carries a 32MP selfie camera capable of clear video calls and social media-ready selfies.
The camera app supports features such as 4K video recording at 30fps, LED flash, night mode, and AI enhancements, making it versatile for both casual users and photography enthusiasts.
Battery and Fast Charging
The Reno 8 Pro packs a 6500mAh battery, providing enough juice for 12–14 hours of heavy usage or over a day on moderate use.
To complement this, Oppo includes 80W SuperVOOC fast charging, capable of charging the phone to 50% in just 15 minutes. This ensures minimal downtime, especially for busy professionals and students.
Connectivity and Software
The smartphone runs on ColorOS based on Android 14, offering customization options, privacy tools, and smoother performance.
Connectivity features include:
- 5G support
- Wi-Fi 6
- Bluetooth 5.3
- Face unlock & in-display fingerprint sensor
- Stereo speakers tuned for immersive sound
However, Oppo has dropped the 3.5mm headphone jack, which may disappoint users who prefer wired audio.
Pricing and Availability
The Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G is priced between ₹30,900 for the base model and ₹39,999 for the top variant (ex-showroom).
On-road pricing in Delhi ranges from ₹35,500 to ₹46,000, including RTO charges and insurance. The phone has been available in India since January 2025, with festive discounts occasionally bringing down the effective price.
Oppo also offers a 1-year warranty. Maintenance costs are estimated at ₹3,000–₹5,000 per year, depending on usage.
User Feedback and Drawbacks
Early buyers have praised the Reno 8 Pro 5G for its premium design, AMOLED display, camera quality, and 80W fast charging. The 7.66mm slim body is also a highlight.
However, common drawbacks include:
- Average gaming performance compared to rivals.
- No expandable storage option.
- Occasional software bloatware in ColorOS.
Despite these, the phone is still considered a solid mid-range choice, particularly for users who prioritize photography and design.
Final Verdict
The Oppo Reno 8 Pro 5G is a well-balanced mid-range flagship that blends style, performance, and battery life. Its 400MP unique camera, 6500mAh battery, 80W fast charging, and 6.7-inch AMOLED display make it a strong competitor in the ₹30,000–₹40,000 segment.
While gaming enthusiasts may look elsewhere, the Reno 8 Pro shines as a photography-friendly, stylish, and reliable 5G smartphone for mid-range buyers.
