A Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G 6-nanometer processor, a 6.4-inch Amoled technology screen with 60Hz refresh rate and a wide collection of imaging features: these are the main features of Reno8 Lite 5G, the latest born among Oppo’s mid-range smartphones, already available on the proprietary Store, Amazon and electronics stores with a list price of 399.99 euros (up to July 17 in promotion with Enco Air2 headphones). A new device from a Chinese manufacturer is therefore added to the already very rich catalog of mid-range devices and does so with a business card that has now become recurrent for some time now, namely photographic performances pushed to the maximum to guarantee professional quality shots in all light conditions.
Triple camera and selfie in HDR format
One of the highlights of the Reno8 Lite 5G is therefore the photographic sector, which is enriched with a series of new functions including Selfie HDR, Portrait Retouching, AI Palette and AI Color Portrait, Artificial intelligence at the service of creativity, in short, compared to a configuration that consists of a 64 Megapixel high-resolution main lens, a macro with a 2 MP sensor and a 2 MP depth unit, while a 16 MP camera operates on the front. The “Portrait Bokeh Effect” mode, in particular, promises users the ability to capture faces in the foreground with “blurred” highlights in the background, with results in terms of image definition comparable to a high-end DSLR camera. The new function dedicated to self-portraits, on the other hand, allows you to shoot even in poorly lit or backlit environments by exploiting the ability of the algorithms to detect the background light and reduce its intensity when a backlit face or a bright background is framed.
Ultra slim design and super battery
The Reno8 Lite 5G, as the spokespersons of the Chinese brand point out, maintains the livery of the Reno series in effect, essentially adding two new features: the Ultra-Slim Retro Design (which reduces the thickness in the order of 7.5 mm and the weight at just over 170 grams) and the Rainbow Spectrum and Cosmic Black colors. Furthermore, another first from a constructive and aesthetic point of view is the three-layer texture of the back cover (comprising an internal dispersion grain, an intermediate layer of SG grain and an external glossy and opaque one) which replaces the excess base material. which is usually found around the camera module of other smartphones. Said of the Snapdragon 695 5G processor, a 4,500 mAh battery (and 33W fast charging technology that ensures 100% autonomy in little more than an hour) and an 8 Gbyte Ram memory combined with 128 Gbyte of Rom. In the software item, however, the most important item is ColorOs 12, the customized operating system on Android 12 that offers goodies such as Air Gestures, to activate some basic functions (calls or scrolling of pages) by moving the hands on the screen, Omoji, with which to customize the interface with over 200 different options, and face detection in real time thanks to the advanced proprietary face capture algorithm …
