And then there’s 8. OPPO today debuted the Reno8 series in China.

(Update, September 1: The OPPO Reno8 5G and OPPO Reno8 Z 5G have launched in the Philippines. See prices, freebies, and postpaid, Home Credit, and credit-card offers here.)

(Update, August 12: We have the OPPO Reno8 series’ launch date for the Philippine market!)

(Update, August 6: There’s now a new member in the family in the OPPO Reno8 Z 5G!)

The lineup — which includes the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus, OPPO Reno8 Pro, and OPPO Reno8 — has gone official alongside the OPPO Pad Air and OPPO Enco R.

As the most premium of the three 5G smartphones, the Pro Plus boasts MediaTek’s Dimensity 8100 Max 5G, the same custom chipset that’s in the OnePlus Ace; the company’s in-house 6nm MariSilicon X NPU, which debuted in the flagship Find X5 series; and a 6.7-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The Reno8 Pro sits between the other two Reno models, launching as the first phone powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor. It also gets the MariSilicon X NPU and sports a 120Hz E4 AMOLED display that measures 6.43 inches and is protected by Gorilla Glass 5.

The most affordable of the trio, on the other hand, features a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC and a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen with the same protection as the other members of the line but a refresh rate that scales down to 90Hz. Take note that it lacks MariSilicon X NPU, too.

All three devices are equipped with a triple rear-camera system headlined by a 50-megapixel sensor, a 32-megapixel selfie shooter, up to 12GB of extendable RAM, a maximum of 256GB of storage, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 4,500mAh battery that supports up to 80 watts of quick charging, and a user interface that’s based on Android 12. They have a flat-edge design and come with a back camera whose look gives us the Find X5 lineup’s camera-island vibe.

In China, three new Reno phones are priced as follows:

• OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus
  • 8GB + 256GB: ¥3,699 (roughly P29,044 or $556)
  • 12GB + 256GB: ¥3,999 (P31,408 or $601)
• OPPO Reno8 Pro
  • 8GB + 128GB: ¥2,999 (P23,558 or $451)
  • 8GB + 256GB: ¥3,199 (P25,130 or $481)
  • 12GB + 256GB: ¥3,499 (P27,486 or $526)
• OPPO Reno8
  • 8GB + 128GB: ¥2,499 (P19,638 or $376)
  • 8GB + 256GB: ¥2,699 (P21,210 or $406)
  • 12GB + 256GB: ¥2,999 (P23,558 or $451)

The brand’s Reno7 series just became available in the Philippines, so our guess is the newly unveiled batch will be released in the country sometime in August. Will only one of them make it to the local market, to be joined by a Reno8 Z variant? We won’t hold our breath just yet.
