Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Oppo Reno8 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Sleek and premium design, with excellent build quality and a comfortable, slim profile (some find the flat edges uncomfortable).
  • Gorgeous 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, minimal bezels, and great brightness and color reproduction.
  • Strong performance thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-MAX processor, handling gaming and multitasking smoothly with good cooling.
  • Excellent battery life, often lasting a day and a half or more with moderate use.
  • Ultra-fast 80W SuperVOOC wired charging (charger included in the box), which can charge the phone from 0% to 100% in around 30-40 minutes.
  • The main 50MP rear camera and 32MP autofocus selfie camera perform well, especially in good light and with the help of the MariSilicon X NPU for improved low-light results.
  • ColorOS offers a clean, polished, and customizable experience close to stock Android, with useful features like a smart sidebar and flexible windows.

What customers don't like about Oppo Reno8 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • The ultra-wide (8MP) and macro (2MP) cameras are considered mediocre 'filler' and do not match the quality of the main lens.
  • No optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main camera, relying solely on digital stabilization, which can affect photo clarity in some indoor or walking shots.
  • The glossy back panel is a significant fingerprint magnet and can be very slippery without a case (which is not always included depending on the region).
  • The design, particularly the sharp, flat edges, can be uncomfortable to hold for some users during long periods.
  • The device lacks flagship features such as wireless charging, expandable storage (microSD card slot), and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • Some models come with pre-installed bloatware/unnecessary apps (e.g., TikTok, games), which detracts from the out-of-box experience.
  • No official IP rating for water and dust resistance on some models (some sources state IP54 splash resistance, but not full waterproofing).

Verdict

The original Oppo Reno 5G (8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant) is a premium-feeling smartphone from mid-2019, powered by a flagship Snapdragon 855 processor and featuring an expansive 6.6-inch AMOLED display with an innovative motorized pop-up 16MP selfie camera, achieving a high screen ratio. A major pro is its versatile rear triple-camera system, which includes a 48MP main sensor with OIS and a 13MP periscope telephoto lens offering 5x optical zoom, delivering impressive photo quality and 4K video recording capabilities. The 4,065mAh battery provides all-day use and supports 20W VOOC fast charging. However, key drawbacks for modern users include its lack of an official IP water resistance rating, the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, slower charging speeds compared to newer models, and limited major OS updates beyond its launch Android 9 (Pie) software.
