Revolutionary Imaging Capabilities that Make You the “Portrait Expert”

OPPO has continued to invest in imaging technology R&D in the Reno series.

Consumer insights indicate that approximately 40% of photos taken with Reno smartphones are taken after 5 p.m. The percentage for videos is even higher, at nearly 50%.

As a result, OPPO has upgraded the camera on the latest Reno series with an agenda to improve the shooting experience in low-light environments and allow users to record every moment of their lives in vivid detail.

Reno8 5G features Dual Sony Flagship Sensors — the IMX709 for the front camera and the IMX766 for the rear camera.

Sony IMX709 is a next-generation RGBW 32 MP camera sensor customized by OPPO. It ensures a 60% increase in light intake and a 35% improvement in noise reduction when compared with traditional RGGB sensors. Together with OPPO’s self-designed Quadra Binning algorithm, every selfie will look dynamically bright and sharp no matter in lowlight or backlight scenes.
Sony IMX766 is a 1/1.56-inch 50MP main camera sensor with a 1.0um large pixel size. It captures more light and guarantees improved image brightness in dark environments. Combined with the All-Pixel Omni-Direction PDAF technology, this camera sensor improves the focus speed, accuracy, and stability.
The Dual Sony Flagship Sensors support the underlying DOL-HDR technology on a hardware level, increasing video dynamic range by 4x to that of the conventional HDR algorithm. DOL-HDR This technology enables the quasi-simultaneous synthesis of long and short exposure frames, effectively preventing ghosting artifacts caused by movement.

In addition to hardware upgrades, OPPO Reno8 5G comes packed with a series of portrait features driven by leading AI technologies.

Ultra Night Video algorithm enhances the image quality, color expression, and facial performance in lowlight environments, delivering sharp and bright night portrait videos. It is automatically enabled for nighttime shooting.
Ultra HDR Video mode prevents bright parts from over-exposure and enriches dark parts with subtle details, thereby producing natural portrait videos with vivid colors. It is automatically enabled in scenes with a large lighting ratio.
Night Portrait leverages the industry-leading Turbo RAW algorithm to perform AI noise reduction in the RAW domain, delivering clear and pure portrait images.

Reno8 5G is also equipped with other innovative features to increase the overall imaging quality. AI Portrait Retouching can recognize 193 facial detection points to support accurate video retouching, delivering natural portrait effects. Portrait Mode，Hyperlapse, and 960fps AI Slow-Motion allow you to create movie-like portraits in your own style, making you a “Portrait Expert”.
