[IT House Evaluation Room]OPPO Reno8 Pro + evaluation: Mariana X blessing, build a dual-core portrait

On May 23, the new OPPO Reno8 series was officially released. It has just been half a year since the release of the previous generation OPPO Reno7 series.

Looking back at the development history of the OPPO Reno series, it has only been a little more than three years since its birth, but OPPO Reno has launched a total of 7 digital series, a total of 20 mobile phone products. Starting from the Reno3 series, OPPO began to pursue the ultimate thin and light solution and color aesthetics in the 5G era. Starting from the Reno5 series, on the basis of thin and light, it began to cultivate the portrait video mobile phone track.

The new OPPO Reno8 series can be seen as a new starting point for the OPPO Reno series – the integrated streamline design derived from the Find X series and the decentralization of the Mariana MariSilicon X chip to create a dual-core portrait photography system.

Part 1: Design

Regarding the appearance part, IT House released a picture tour in advance on May 17. From the feedback from readers and friends, the appearance design of OPPO Reno8 Pro + is not as “polarized” as the OPPO Find X5 series. Obviously, everyone has been used to or accepted this relatively “radical” design language.

In fact, from the OPPO Find X5 series, to the OPPO K10 series just released a while ago, to the current OPPO Reno8 series, integrated styling has become OPPO’s family-style design language. After all, major manufacturers pay more attention to the continuation of design. sex.

OPPO Reno8 Pro + adopts a flagship hot-bending integrated shape, and the impressively raised camera area on the back is quite eye-catching. Almost every user who gets this phone will have to “comment” on this camera design.

In terms of details, the OPPO Reno8 Pro + three-camera module slightly protrudes from the fuselage and has a huge area. The openings of the two cameras are very large. There is a natural and beautiful between the right and lower sides of the camera module and the fuselage. The curve of the frame, and the part near the middle frame, the aluminum alloy middle frame slightly extends to the image module area, and the sense of unity of the whole machine is quite strong.

thus,OPPO Reno8 Pro + presents a design aesthetic that is both restrained and avant-garde.

Back to the front, OPPO Reno8 Pro + uses a flat body and has the narrowest chin in the history of the Reno family. The lower frame is only 2.37mm. After the screen is bright, the whole machineAlmost showing the “narrow” effect of the four sidesis not an exaggeration at all.

It is worth mentioning that this time the OPPO Reno8 Pro + also adopts a central punch-hole design for the front camera instead of the left-hand punch that is common in OPPO phones.

This camera is derived from the super-sensitive cat-eye lens IMX709, with 32MP pixels and an RGBW array.

In terms of screen, OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is equipped with a 6.7-inch 120Hz screen with a resolution of 2412*1080 and a maximum peak brightness of 950nit. It uses a blue diamond pixel arrangement, which looks good to the naked eye, and it also has OPPO. The self-developed super-sensing engine supports almost all video apps.

In terms of color matching, OPPO Reno8 Pro + provides three colors: Xiaoyao Green, Roaming Gray, and Dark Surge Black. Taking Xiaoyao Qing obtained by IT Home as an example, this is also a relatively restrained color matching, although it is “cyan” color, But it does not jump, it is very light, and the recognition is quite high.

In terms of body thickness, this time Reno8 Pro + has also achieved the thinnest in the history of Reno, with a body thickness of 7.34mm and a body weight of only 183g, which is still stuffed into a 4500mAh battery, NFC, X-axis linear motor and dual-raiser The premise.

detail design:

Accessories include data cable, A port charging head (80W), and water protection case.

All in all, this time OPPO Reno8 Pro + is really good enough in design, a simple evaluation is:Aggressive yet restrained, continuous and individual.

Part II: Video

The first is the hardware part, OPPO Reno8 Pro + uses a three-camera system,It consists of 50 million main cameras, 8 million ultra-wide-angle, and 2 million macros. Among them, the main camera is OPPO’s old friend, the IMX766, which has a 1/1.56-inch photosensitive area and an f/1.8 lens aperture. The ultra-wide angle is IMX355, which has a 112° field of view. As for the 2 million macro, it is very tactical.

In general, the imaging system of OPPO Reno8 Pro +,The main force is this IMX766, and the other two cameras are bland and basically scan code level..

However, don’t forget, OPPO Reno8 Pro + also has Mariana MariSilicon X chip blessing, IMX766+MariSilicon X, and Find X series image algorithm + OPPO portrait algorithm, OPPO Reno8 Pro + This main camera alone is enough to give Users bring an extraordinary shooting experience.

1. 4K night scene video

4K night scene video also tests the imaging capabilities of mobile phones the most. With Mariana, Reno8 Pro + achieves AI noise reduction in 4K night scene video, and every frame of ultra-clear night scene video is as clear as a super night scene photo.

(4K video screenshot, taken around 7pm)

It is worth mentioning that, by default, the AI ​​of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is turned on, instead of manually turning on AI like OPPO Find X5 Pro.

However, the current 4K-level ultra-clear night scene video still supports up to 30FPS shooting.

In order to better demonstrate the 4K ultra-clear night scene capability of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+, IT House has selected two mobile phone models with different price points, 3K gear and 6K gear, and compared them in the same scene (both are 4K video screenshots) ).

For the scene, a city night beach was chosen, with no surrounding light sources, camping lights in the distance, and complex neon lights.

This part of the scene is quite a test of the imaging performance of the mobile phone.

The first comparison model is a 6K + file image flagship machine A.

As shown in the figure below, in this scene, the light source is complex and few. At this time, the OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ has less noise, the picture is more transparent, and the color performance is more accurate.

(4K video screenshot, shooting environment without any light source)

Compared with the model, the sky has very obvious noise, and the displayed picture is dirty and unclean.The first impression is that the Reno 8 Pro + is very comfortable and beautiful. But after all, the latter is the flagship of the 6K image.The screen resolution of this model is obviously one level stronger than that of the Reno 8 Pro+.

Secondly, it is a 3K gear comparison model B.

This gap is very obvious. After turning on 4K shooting, the picture of the comparison model is almost pitch black, even darker than what the naked eye can see, and the dynamic range performance is very low.

(4K video screenshot, shooting environment without any light source)

By comparison, it can be seen that the blessing of the MariSilicon X chip,Let OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ stand out from the crowd when it comes to shooting 4K AI night scene videos in terms of the performance of products of the same gradeCompared with the more expensive flagship machine, OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is not inferior.

2. 4K HDR video

Not only 4K AI night scene video at night, OPPO Reno 8 Pro + also has chip-level 4K HDR video. In this part, we chose the environment with high light ratio at night, and the scene with large backlight during the day.

For example, in the video screenshot below, the brightness of the light and the darkness of the night sky form a strong contrast, but the OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ can still maintain the details of the bright parts, and can suppress the night sky enough transparent and pure, if not specially emphasized If this is a screenshot, the first view will basically think that this is a super night scene photo.

This performance is quite surprising.

For another example, in the backlight and side backlight scenes below, the details of the faces of the people being photographed in the buildings in the distance are clear, and the colors of the sky and mountains and forests in the distance are also very comfortable.

3. Static proof performance

In the night session, the night scene shooting of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ will perform a multiple exposure process according to the light and shade of the scene. After multiple exposures, the details in the night scene can be restored as much as possible. The detail restoration degree of the night scene of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is still very high. .

The only pity is that there is no optical image stabilization. In some sports capture scenes, especially in low light environments, the filming rate will be slightly reduced.

Daytime proofs:

The daytime imaging of OPPO Reno 8 Pro + is basically the flagship level, and there is basically no fault.

As for portraits, as a traditional advantage of OPPO, OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ naturally did not forget to upgrade this project.

According to official information, OPPO Reno 8 Pro + brings native texture-level selfies and facial features close-up selfies this time, radiant beauty algorithm + self-developed MariSilicon X chip + super-sensitive cat-eye lens, the most authentic radiance of the original skin .

This time we chose to take a selfie directly under the sun.

As shown in the figure below, the selfie of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ takes care of the overall picture. Although there is interference from the sun, most of the details of the picture are still maintained in the final imaging part. The picture is transparent and there is no PS “false” beauty” effect. If you zoom in carefully, the texture of the skin and the delicate pores are still preserved. All in all, this kind of portrait beauty guarantees authenticity and beauty.

Whether it’s a girl or a pretty boy, with the blessing of dual hardware + beauty algorithm, the selfie of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ will never disappoint you.

In the portrait part of the rear camera, the picture of the OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is also brighter, and the details of the face are more natural, and there is no feeling of excessive force.

Part III: Performance

OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is equipped with an exclusive customized Dimensity 8100-MAX chip, with LPDDR5+UFS3.1 storage specifications, and IT Home got the 12GB+256GB version.

OPPO Reno 8 Pro + supports 80w super flash charge, supports intelligent battery health algorithm, can extend battery life to 1600 cycles.

In terms of heat dissipation, OPPO Reno 8 Pro + brings a supercrystalline graphite heat dissipation system, and the official said that the total heat dissipation area is 2.2 times higher than that of the previous generation.

In terms of core architecture, Dimensity 8100-MAX still uses TSMC’s 5nm process technology, consisting of 4 Cortex-A78 cores with a main frequency of 2.85GHz and 4 Cortex-A55 with a main frequency of 2.0GHz. The GPU is Mali-G610, which adopts the self-developed APU 580 architecture.

Just take a look at the benchmarks:

As shown in the figure above, the overall score of AnTuTu is 796378, of which the CPU is 194218 and the GPU is 304967.

As a comparison, the Dimensity 8100-MAX equipped on the OPPO Reno 8 Pro+, its AnTuTu benchmark score is basically comparable to some Snapdragon 888 models (about 800,000 points), and the top flagship Snapdragon 8, Dimensity 9000, only A difference of more than ten thousand points.

In terms of GeekBench 5 running points, OPPO Reno 8 Pro + single-core is 955 points, multi-core 3754, multi-core scores far exceed Snapdragon 888 models.

(The performance adjustment of different models is different, the above running points are for reference only)

In general, the OPPO Reno 8 Pro + has basically reached the flagship level in the running score.

Next, IT House did a game test on OPPO Reno 8 Pro +. In the test, the gaming mode of the mobile phone is turned on.

It is emphasized that the Reno8 series has been adapted to the Hyperboost full-link game frame stabilization technology, but it is very interesting that in the game sidebar, there is no “extreme frame stabilization” switch unique to OPPO mobile phones before. Is it enabled by default?

The first is the highest quality 120Hz “Honor of Kings”.

(The image quality settings of the glory of the king are as above)

As shown in the figure above, in a game (11 minutes) of the Honor of Kings game, the average frame rate of OPPO Reno 8 Pro + is 119.2, and the stable frame index is only 0.8 (the smaller the better). Drop is 0 (smaller is better).

Of course, “Honor of Kings” is basically a sprinkler level for OPPO Reno 8 Pro +. The core map below can also be seen, during the game,Of the four cores of the OPPO Reno 8 Pro+, only three are in a “battle” state, The other one is basically soy sauce. This training not only ensures high-frame games, but also ensures power consumption.

In terms of power consumption, it is only in the early 4Ws:

In terms of temperature, don’t worry too much. The measured maximum temperature is 43°C, which is hot, but not “hot”.

Below we have selected Genshin Impact, which has relatively high performance requirements, for testing.

We chose high-end image quality + 60 frames, motion blur was turned off, and the scene was still fighting monsters in the wild (the time for fighting monsters accounted for about 40% of the total test time), and the test time was 20 minutes.

(Yuanshen picture quality settings are as above)

As shown in the figure below, in the high-intensity “Genshin Impact” test, the average frame rate of OPPO Reno 8 Pro+ is 39.1fps, and the frame stabilization index is 8.6.

As can be seen from the frame rate graph above, the frame rate of OPPO Reno 8 Pro + starts to stabilize at around 40 frames after 2 minutes of the game. In the later long-term battle scenes, with the rise of the body temperature, the frame rate will drop to 35, then quickly back to 40.

Although the average frame rate of the game is not high, it is stable and there is no obvious stuttering.

Let’s take a look at the core map. It is obviously more difficult to run “Genshin Impact” than “Honor of Kings”. Although the four 2.85GHz Cortex-A78 cores did not reach the top, they were quite fighting.

In terms of power consumption, it is close to 5W, and the energy consumption of FPower frame is 63.7 [mW]*2, this performance is still much better than some Snapdragon 888 models.

Let’s take a look at the temperature performance. In the 20-minute “Genshin Impact”, the maximum temperature on the front of the fuselage is about 44°C, and the whole performance is quite satisfactory.

Part IV: System

OPPO Reno8 Pro + is equipped with the latest ColorOS 12.1, which has been upgraded mainly around user privacy, smooth experience, and full-scene collaboration.

First of all, it brings a 36-month smooth dual engine, which can customize your own AI scheduling model based on data such as application usage habits, which improves the fluency of the whole machine.

The second is the family space function.

This function is quite friendly to the elderly who are not very familiar with smartphones. For example, many times, when we are away from home, the elders in the family encounter problems when using the mobile phone, and they cannot understand it after a while through the phone. At this time, I apply for permission through the family space. After that, you can remotely control the elder’s mobile phone, or share your screen with the elder.

In addition, in the home space, you can also make voice calls, Xiaobu video calls, and leave messages. You can also create common albums, schedules, and obtain the location of the other party, application usage time, etc. (all require the other party’s consent to apply for guardianship permissions).

The third is the convenient collaboration with PCs, tablets and watches.

Taking the “collaboration” of tablets as an example, the screen of the mobile phone can be projected on the tablet or PC, and the mobile phone can be controlled through the large screen, or files can be transferred by dragging and dropping. In addition, the PC side already supports opening three mobile applications.

But in terms of experience,The sense of delay after “synergy” is still quite obviousI hope later OTA optimization.

In terms of privacy, ColorOS 12.1 brings features such as blurring of recent tasks, privacy avatars, and intelligent hiding of notification details. To further protect the privacy of users.

Summarize:

Whether from the design point of view or from the image experience, this time the OPPO Reno8 Pro + has the feeling of a small Find,The decentralization of MariSilicon X allows OPPO Reno8 Pro + to obtain a relatively high-end imaging experience at a relatively mid-range priceespecially in the shooting of 4K night scene video, even higher-priced image flagships can go back and forth.

On the other hand, the Dimensity 8100-MAX is also a sub-flagship SoC that takes both performance and power consumption into account, allowing OPPO Reno8 Pro + to ensure a good performance release, and also relatively ensure power consumption and heat problems.

Of course, to talk about the shortcomings of OPPO Reno8 Pro +, there are also,For example, the lack of optical image stabilization of the main camera, and the super wide-angle and 2 million “tactical” macros that make people feel sincere.

Delegating MariSilicon X to the Reno series is the strength of OPPO. On the one hand, it proves OPPO’s determination to make chips for a long time and adhere to the product spirit of long-termism; on the other hand, the huge shipments of the OPPO Reno series also It will further verify the capabilities of the chip, and will also further build OPPO’s vertical integration capabilities in imaging. In this era of computational photography, self-developed chips will be used to solve computing power and energy efficiency, tear off the homogenization label, and give consumers Bring the most unique video experience among the products of the same grade.

In short, OPPO Reno8 Pro + is a very unique and special light flagship product.

As for whether it’s worth buying, it depends on everyone’s needs. If you like high-quality, high-value design, and pursue an unconventional and unique imaging product, OPPO Reno8 Pro + is a good choice.
