OPPO Philippines has lifted the veil off the newest “portrait expert” additions to its Reno series of smartphones.

(Update, January 5, 2023: The OPPO Reno8 5G has a new color variant, and it has 12GB RAM and Android 13-based ColorOS 13. Find out how much the latest version is!)

(Update, December 21: The OPPO Reno8 Pro 5G is now available in the Philippines, more than three months after the Reno8 and Reno8 Z were launched locally!)

The OPPO Reno8 and OPPO Reno8 Z — both with access to 5G courtesy of MediaTek’s Dimensity 1300 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 695, respectively — are now official in the country. The more premium model is priced at P27,999 (roughly $495), while the more wallet-friendly Reno8 Z sells for P19,999 ($354).

Preorder either of the two from any OPPO brand store, partner dealer, or official store on Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok Shop between September 1 and September 8, and you’ll get a free pair of OPPO Enco Buds. Online buyers will also receive a “P1,000 ($18) off” voucher and have a chance to win an OPPO Pad Air, which is the company’s first tablet offering in the Philippines.

Now, if you trade in your old handset for the Reno8 5G or Reno8 Z 5G at a participating OPPO concept store, you’ll receive a free sterilizer box and additional discount on top of your phone’s trade-in value.

Here are the other offers you may want to check out:

The OPPO Reno8 5G boasts flagship-grade Sony IMX766 50-megapixel back and IMX709 32-megapixel front sensors. Expect camera features like Ultra Night Video, Ultra HDR Video, Night Portrait, AI Portrait Retouching, and 960fps AI Slow-Motion. Other highlights include a 4,500mAh battery with support for up to an incredible 80 watts using the included power brick; a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen with a fingerprint sensor underneath for convenient unlocking; and a streamlined unibody design.

The OPPO Reno8 Z 5G, on the other hand, comes with a 64-megapixel triple rear camera; a 6.43-inch AMOLED screen; a 4,500mAh battery that supports OPPO’s 33-watt SuperVOOC standard; and dual orbit lights for notifications. Think of it as the Reno7 5G in another clothing.

The public launch of the two 5G-based models comes on the heels of the official unveiling of the OnePlus 10T 5G locally. OnePlus, in case you didn’t know, is a sub-brand of OPPO.
