Unboxing and hands-on with the stunning design of OPPO Reno8 5G

Regarding the packaging of the OPPO Reno8 5G, it still looks very familiar with its rectangular shape dominated by a White color scheme. Additionally, the product name is printed on the surface of the box along with the 'OPPO' logo attached to the bottom right corner. Next, let's unbox it to see what accessories the company will provide us with!

Inside the packaging, along with the OPPO Reno8 5G, we are also provided with a complete set of accessories including: Flexible plastic case, user manual, SIM ejector tool, charging cable, and adapter. Overall, OPPO always cares for users by providing a full set of accompanying accessories, saving us from spending additional time or money to purchase them separately.

Regarding the design of the OPPO Reno8 5G, I feel that the device has undergone a completely new change compared to the OPPO Reno7 5G. However, I find the appearance of the OPPO Reno8 5G to be somewhat bulky due to the slightly large camera module, making it look unbalanced. However, this camera module has a solid design compared to the back panel, so it will be smoother and less prone to hand fatigue during use.

Furthermore, the OPPO Reno8 5G also inherits the beauty of the OPPO Reno6 5G with its square frame, giving it a very modern look. In addition, the corners are softly rounded, making the device more comfortable to hold and use. At the same time, the back of the OPPO Reno8 5G becomes more prominent with a gradient color-shifting effect depending on the viewing angle.

On the right corner of the back of the OPPO Reno8 5G, we can easily spot the 'OPPO' logo, enhancing the brand recognition of the device.

As for the display, the OPPO Reno8 5G is equipped with a 6.43-inch OLED panel, with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. Although the screen of the device does not have many upgrades compared to its predecessor, rest assured because according to the manufacturer's announcement, the display quality on this phone is very vibrant and beautiful, providing users with excellent entertainment experiences. Not stopping there, the OPPO Reno8 5G also adds a stunning purple color option, inspired by orchid flowers. Let's admire together.

With such power, the OPPO Reno8 5G promises to smoothly and quickly handle users' daily tasks.

I highly appreciate the significant upgrade of the OPPO Reno8 5G with the Dimensity 1300 chip compared to the Dimensity 900 on the OPPO Reno7 5G. This somewhat reaffirms that the OPPO Reno Series not only boasts incredibly beautiful designs but also has powerful performance.

Additionally, the OPPO Reno8 5G features either 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM, expandable to 7 GB via virtual RAM.
