What we like about Oppo Reno8 Z 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Vivid and bright AMOLED display with good viewing angles
  • Sleek, premium, and lightweight design that resists fingerprints
  • Excellent battery life, often lasting a full day of heavy use or two days of typical use
  • Very fast charging speeds with the included 33W charger (for the Z model), which can charge the battery in a short time
  • Solid everyday performance for daily tasks and even gaming, thanks to the capable Snapdragon 695 5G chipset and ample RAM
  • Reliable and fast under-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock feature
  • Good main camera (64MP) performance in adequate lighting conditions, capturing detailed photos
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage via microSD
  • Useful software features within ColorOS, such as floating windows, quick launch, and various gesture controls

What we don't like about Oppo Reno8 Z 5G (8GB + 128GB)

  • Display has only a 60Hz refresh rate, which is lower than many competitors in the same price range, resulting in less smooth scrolling
  • Build material is mostly plastic (frame and back), which some users feel is not premium enough for the price
  • Camera performance can be inconsistent, with some users reporting over-processed photos, bad edge detection in portrait shots, and shutter lag, especially with moving subjects
  • Lack of an official IP rating for water or dust resistance
  • No optical image stabilization (OIS) in the camera, which affects low-light performance and video stability
  • The 2MP macro and depth sensors are considered by some to be of limited utility
  • Comes with pre-installed bloatware that can be annoying for some users
  • Does not support wireless charging

Verdict

The Oppo Reno8 Z 5G is a sleek, mid-range 5G smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor with 8GB of RAM (expandable up to 5GB virtually) and 128GB of expandable UFS 2.2 storage. Its main characteristics include a vibrant 6.43-inch Full HD+ (2400 x 1080) AMOLED display, a versatile 64MP AI triple camera system, and a 4500mAh battery with 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging. The main pros are its premium, fingerprint-resistant "OPPO Glow" design, solid performance for daily tasks and mid-range gaming, the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable storage (up to 1TB via microSD), and fast charging that reaches 100% in just over an hour. However, key cons include the display's limited 60Hz refresh rate, which is a significant drawback compared to competitors in its price range, a lack of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) in the camera system, and the presence of some pre-installed bloatware (unnecessary apps).
