OPPO announced the launch of its latest Reno Series smartphone — the OPPO Reno8 Series 5G — in Malaysia on 21 July 2022. The Reno8 Pro 5G is outfitted with MariSilicon X, OPPO’s first in-house designed, specialised image NPU, and is created to be a Portrait Expert in every way. With MariSilicon X’s potent image processing technology, Reno8 Pro 5G offers a number of cutting-edge camera functions to assist customers in capturing crystal-clear portraits in even the most difficult lighting conditions.
Reno8 Pro 5G raises the bar for ultra-clear portrait shots and videos with its strong hardware and software underpinnings and array of flagship imaging capabilities.
The MariSilicon X, OPPO’s first self-developed image NPU, which offers specialised computational power for the Reno8 Pro 5G’s imaging capabilities while using even less power, is at the heart of this unmatched portrait experience. MariSilicon X’s industry-leading DSA architecture and state-of-the-art 6nm manufacturing technology enables it to produce an astounding 18 TOPS (18 trillion operations per second) of dedicated image processing capability. MariSilicon X can do lossless real-time 4K AI processing and up to 20bit HDR fusion in the RAW domain with its powerful computational capability and fast data throughput, while also reaching up to 8dB signal-to-noise ratio for photos. MariSilicon X provides an unrivalled basis for image processing by directly processing pictures in the lossless RAW domain.

To further optimize the shooting experience in lowlight environments, both Reno8 Pro 5G and Reno8 5G feature an upgraded Dual Sony Flagship Sensors — the IMX709 for the front camera and the IMX766 for the rear camera.
The Sony IMX709 is an upgraded RGBW 32MP camera sensor that was customised by OPPO. Compared to conventional RGGB sensors, it ensures a 60% increase in light intake and a 35% improvement in noise reduction. Each selfie, regardless of whether it is taken in low light or backlight, will seem dynamically brilliant and crisp thanks to OPPO’s self-developed Quadra Binning algorithm. The IMX709’s front-facing camera is equipped with DOL-HDR technology, which makes it simple to take stunning, professionally-looking selfies in any situation. Additionally, the front camera’s AutoFocus feature now offers 2x zoom thanks to the IMX709 on the Reno8 Pro 5G. With a minimum focus distance of 15 cm, the front camera of the Reno8 Pro 5G can now take extremely close-up pictures, resulting in crisper selfies.
On the rear camera, the Reno8 Series 5G comes with the SONY IMX766 sensor, delivering an enhanced portrait experience with its large 1/1.56-inch sensor size and features like All Pixel Omni-Directional PDAF and DOL-HDR.
The Reno8 Pro 5G offers a flagship-level portrait photography experience thanks to the MariSlicon X Imaging NPU and the Dual Sony Flagship Sensors. It is also the first time that 4K video recording has been made available on a smartphone in this price range. Users may record ultra-clear portrait movies at night with 4K Ultra Night Video, while portrait videos captured in bright sunshine can be enhanced using 4K Ultra HDR Video. A photograph’s image quality and colour expression may be greatly enhanced by both of these properties, which prevent overexposure in bright regions while preserving the greatest amount of detail in areas of darkness. The AI-enhanced retouching algorithms included into the software make human faces in images and videos look more realistic and vivid.

The Reno8 Series 5G is the first Reno Series device to offer a streamlined unibody design. The rear cover of the phone and the camera case are seamlessly combined using OPPO’s unique high-temperature, high-pressure hot forging method.
