OPPO RENO 8T
Gadgets Philippines|April 2023
SMARTPHONE | OPPO Reno 8T is a sophisticated phone that exudes luxury due to its stylish design and outstanding camera features. With all the specs and design made by OPPO, I think this is a creatively- crafted smartphone. But is this a “must-have” phone for 2023?

DESIGN

OPPO gets a thumbs-up for the back cover of the Reno 8T, with its distinctive look. The Sunset Orange-colored version is made from a fiberglass-leather design for a highclass feel that makes this flagship phone stand out.

In addition, the leather texture prevents the phone from slipping, protects against scratches, and avoids fingerprint smudges. I’m not a fan of camera bumps, and thankfully, the Reno 8T comes with a transparent shockproof case that secures the camera layout from unnecessary damage.

A unique feature that makes it stand out is a breathing light in the rear camera which activates whenever I receive notifications and phone calls. This feature is helpful since it alerts me that someone messaged or called me, especially during working hours. The color of the breathing light can be customized through its settings.

As for its dimensions, it is surprisingly light at 183g and 7.85mm thin. If you are wondering if it’s easy to carry around, the answer is yes, it is comfortable to keep the phone in hand the whole day.

On the right edge of the phone is a power button, while the volume buttons, the SIM tray, and the micro-SD card tray are at the left edge. Dual stereo speakers are found at the top and bottom edges. Also at the bottom are the USB Type-C charging port, earphone jack, and main mic, while the other sub-mic is located at the top. 

HARDWARE

What about performance improvements? The OPPO Reno 8T runs on the Helio G99, a mid-range processor released in 2022. It obtained a single-core score of 637 on Geekbench 6, indicating that it is able to handle heavy gaming and editing apps. Its 1,824 multi-core score shows that the phone can also be used for multitasking.

There's something about smart bands that resonate with me. Beyond being a fitness tracker, its small form factor makes it a joy to wear for everyday use. There's also the connectivity between your phone and the band to allow you to monitor your notifications and messages.
