Editor's note: Late yesterday, OPPO released the Reno8 series, and as early as before, we have already complained about the exaggerated camera module design of this series, but what we did not expect is that its price is so confident, equipped with the Reno8 of the Tianji 1300 processor, the starting price has reached 2499 yuan, and equipped with the Tianji, the Pro+ starting price of the 8100 processor has reached 3699, which is also too expensive!
Good guys, Tianji 1300 sells 2499
First of all, from the design point of view, several mobile phones are basically similar, the front is the left side of the hole, the back is an irregular huge camera module, inherited from the OPPO FindX series of irregular design, it can be said that completely liberated itself. The entire design of the front panel performs well, the rear panel I directly give a negative score, where the design is for the recognition of the degree of recognition and the degree of design does not have any meaning.
Of course, the thickness and weight of the entire series are done well, such as the standard version of the 8 series thickness of 7.67 mm, weighing 179 grams, the Pro version of 7.57 mm weighs 188 grams, and the Pro + is 7.34 mm and weighs 183 grams, which can be said to take into account the factor of female grip.
In addition to the design, there are some differences in hardware, in the standard version equipped with the core processor for Tianji 1300, the specification of running memory is LPDDR4x, the specification of storage is ufs3.1, it can be said that this hardware quality is placed in 2022, it is really difficult to get it. On the one hand, LPDDR5 has been rotten, on the other hand, Tianji 1300 is at best 1500 ~ 1800 yuan price range of products, so the standard version of the hardware is not strong enough in the first place.
In terms of screen, the standard version only supports a refresh rate of 90Hz, its peak brightness is only 800 nits, and the maximum brightness of the global excitation is only 600 nits, which can be said to be placed in the 2500 yuan gear in 2022, which is really inappropriate.
Charging endurance is a good highlight, equipped with a battery capacity of 4500 mAh to match the 80-watt flash charging standard, that is to say, it is slightly faster than the 65-watt flash charge that most of us have been exposed to before, so the overall experience should be OK.
In terms of taking photos, the standard version has a 32-megapixel Sony IMX709 sensor in front of it, and there is certainly no problem with selfies. And rear mounted main camera. A 50-megapixel sensor, but we don't know what model this 50-megapixel is, but it should not be Sony IMX766, and the official customer service is not clear about the model of this sensor, so it has little or no advantage in rear-facing shooting.
The Pro version is not much stronger
The focus is on Pro and Pro plus versions, the core processor of the Pro version chooses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 processor, as well as the self-developed Mariana chip, which is also the running memory of LPDDR4x, but the flash memory is very outrageous, and it actually uses the flash memory of ufs2.2! Is this 2022? The screen adopts an E4 screen with a high refresh rate of 120Hz, and the charging endurance is also equipped with a battery capacity of 4500 mAh, matching the 80-watt fast charging standard.
In terms of photography, the front is the same 32 million pixel Sony IMX709 sensor, and the rear main camera is sony IMX766 50 million pixel sensor, the parameters of this sensor are not bad, as the main camera of high-end products there is no problem.
Pro+ products are slightly more normal this time the hardware is slightly more normal. The core processor chose the Tianji 8100Max processor and the rare LPDDR5 running memory in this series, as well as the rare ufs3.1 flash memory specifications, the screen also uses a high refresh rate screen of 120Hz, but the resolution is still 1080P, but the color gamut and the global brightness are slightly upgraded, but the upgrade amplitude is indeed relatively small, even if it is a super cup screen, the brightness can only reach the peak brightness of 950 nits.
In terms of charging battery life in terms of taking photos, it is basically the same as the Pro version, so the gap with the Pro version is basically in the processor flash memory and running memory.
The hardware is somewhat outrageous
In terms of price, the cheapest standard version is also 2499 yuan, and the Pro version is upgraded to 2999 yuan, the starting price of Pro+ is even more to 3699 yuan, and these products actually use the flash memory of uf2.2, the standard version and the Pro version are not upgraded to the LPDDR5 running memory, Pro+ basically gives everything, but the price is enough to be a top flagship product.
It can be said that OPPO has pulled back the high price and low match of that year, even if a considerable part of these products are sold offline machines, they do not bring such a play. The overall demand for the mobile phone market has dropped very much, especially in the past two or three months, the overall sales volume has fallen by about 40%, and many domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also cut 20% to 30% of the order volume to the industrial chain system, which is enough to witness how severe the situation is, in the case of each family eating stock, OPPO actually dares to come up with such a product. We do not deny that the Mariana chip developed by OPPO performed well, but it is only a small chip, and it is not so much higher than the premium capability.
The advice for users is to stay away from this series of products, you have a lot of products to choose, even realmeGT Neo3 is stronger than the Reno series of its own boiling, hardware parameters are relatively balanced, but the optimization is not in place.
