Varied leaks and rumours have begun to seem in regards to the anticipated Oppo Reno 8, which can launch later this yr. Curiously, it appears to be like prefer it might occupy the area left by the un-released OnePlus 10, with a relatively acquainted trying design.

Right here’s all we all know to this point in regards to the system. 

When will the Oppo Reno Eight be launched?

There’s no official launch date for the Oppo Reno Eight on the time of writing, in actual fact the corporate has but to even say whether or not the leaks we’ve seen are of an actual system. We do have the earlier era to make use of as a information although.

Oppo introduced the Reno 7 vary in November 2021, with the units happening sale in China on Three December 2021, adopted by India in February. There’s been no sightings of it within the West as but, with the Oppo Reno 6 solely showing in September 2021, after which solely in choose markets. 

If Oppo retains this schedule, then anticipate the Reno Eight to launch in November 2022, though these in Europe could not see it till a lot later. 

How a lot will the Oppo Reno Eight price?

Clearly, as we don’t have any affirmation on the system’s existence, there’s no official pricing accessible. Once more we glance again to the earlier incarnation for some clues. Right here’s how they lined up:

Reno 7 8GB/128GB – ¥2,699 (approx. £318/€374/$424)
Reno 7 8GB/256GB – ¥2,999 (approx. £353/€415/$470)
Reno 7 12GB/256GB – ¥3,299 (approx. £388/€457/$518)

Lots of the rumours we’ve seen (and which you’ll be able to learn under) recommend that the Oppo Reno Eight might be the OnePlus 10 mannequin that didn’t seem this yr alongside the OnePlus 10 Professional. With that in thoughts, listed below are the costs for the OnePlus 9:

OnePlus 9 8/128GB – £629/$729/€699
OnePlus 9 12/256GB – £729/€799

There’s a little bit of a distinction within the worth tiering between the OnePlus and the Reno 7, so our greatest estimate could be that the Reno Eight might sit someplace between the 2 or veer nearer to the costlier OnePlus. 

What specs and options will we see within the Oppo Reno 8?

There have been a number of totally different rumours showing on tech websites and social media feeds that present a possible system that appears loads just like the one folks thought could be the OnePlus 10. This isn’t a far-fetched as it could sound, as Oppo and OnePlus are sister firms which have now merged their R&D departments to share sources. This has led to units being launched by one model that look remarkably much like these of the opposite. 

With OnePlus unusually omitting an ordinary 10 mannequin this yr, going solely with the 10 Professional and a rumoured OnePlus 10 Extremely on the way in which, it leaves open the likelihood that Oppo could be the one to provide that individual space of the market. 

That is actually the way in which issues are beginning to seem, with Chinese language tech tipster Digital Chat Station posting on Weibo a picture of the system, plus among the parts it could include.

As you possibly can see, the reported Reno Eight appears to be like remarkably much like the OnePlus 10 Professional, so if the render is correct then it actually means that Oppo has picked up the place OnePlus left off. 

OnePlus 10 Professional

The submit states that the Reno Eight will characteristic a 6.55in FHD+ AMOLED show with a 120Hz refresh charge (identical to the OnePlus 9), with a 50Mp IMX766 sensor in the primary digicam. The picture of the Oppo would not present any Hasselblad branding on the digicam part, as there’s on the OnePlus 10 Professional, however that is according to the cheaper fashions. Except for this, there aren’t any different particulars accessible. 

With the OnePlus 9 sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888, we expect it’s greater than doubtless that the Oppo Reno Eight will transfer as much as the Snapdragon Eight Gen 1, which is the mainstay of most premium Android units in 2022. Apart from that, we’re unsure how a lot the brand new system will range from what we noticed with the OnePlus 9.

As an indicator of the type of spec sheet you would possibly see, right here’s the one for the OnePlus. In fact, there are certain to be numerous upgrades, however this could not less than present the bottom stage of parts to anticipate.
