Nowadays, social media has become a big part of our daily lives. According to the Digital 2022 report released by We Are Social and Hootsuite, there were about 92.05 million social media users in the Philippines at the start of the year.

As Filipinos of all ages continue to embrace a digital lifestyle, taking photos or videos as a way of expression and sharing special moments, big or small, has become a part of our nature.

To empower such a lifestyle, we need a smartphone that can excellently capture these moments from day to night. Luckily, global smart device brand OPPO never fails to innovate its Reno Series, also known as #ThePortraitExpert, to deliver the new OPPO Reno8 5G that captures ultra-clear moments anytime and anywhere.

Since it was first introduced in 2019, the Reno Series has changed the game in mobile photography, elevating the way Filipinos take photos and videos. It pioneered various innovations that challenge the boundaries of camera phones, such as Bokeh Flare Portrait and Video, AI Color Portrait, and Dual-View Video, among others. This time, to make it easier for users to capture ultra-clear nights in portrait, OPPO has integrated flagship-level features in the all-new OPPO Reno8 5G.

As a testament to the OPPO Reno8 5G’s remarkable imaging technologies and capabilities, renowned event and lifestyle photographer Magic Liwanag and well-known fashion and art photographer Xander Angeles–both OPPO Reno8 5G ambassadors, shared what they have to say about the device as a great investment for photography experts and enthusiasts alike.

OPPO Reno8 5G cameras packed with Sony IMX sensors 

Two is better than one, they say, and the same goes when it comes to our smartphone camera’s sensors as they ensure that you can take clear photos even in dark environments. The OPPO Reno8 5G’s cutting-edge cameras boast dual Sony flagship sensors. The OPPO Reno8 5G has a 32MP front camera with a Sony IMX709 sensor, coupled with the OPPO’s New Generation RGBW color array. This quality offers 60% more light than regular RGB lenses, making it the Portrait Expert. 

The OPPO Reno8 5G also has a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor. To allow more light to pass through for improved imaging, it supports a 1/1.56-inch large sensor. Both cameras have a hardware-based DOL-HDR to give users nighttime portraits with the ideal mix of light and shade.

“The newest Portrait Expert’s 50MP rear camera integrated with the Sony IMX766 sensors make the OPPO Reno8 5G my go-to device when I need to take and upload photos immediately. With these features, the device’s cameras work even in low-light environments, especially when taking pictures of celebrities and musicians. It also has better auto-focus and delivers brighter images without over-sharpening the subject in places with minimal light. Having the OPPO Reno8 5G empowers me to try different scenes and explore new places because dark or low-light environments won’t hold me back,” Liwanag explained.

Features algorithms to enhance flagship-grade cameras for night photos, videos 

May it be for a nighttime photo walk or to record your nightlife, the OPPO Reno8 5G’s Ultra Night Video and Ultra Night Portrait got your back. 

For improved overall image brightness, quality, colors, details, and low image noise in dimly lit conditions, the dual Sony Flagship sensors in the OPPO Reno8 5G support the Ultra Night Video feature. This feature is AI-enhanced, so you are sure that your videos at night are always vivid and clear. 

The OPPO Reno8 5G boasts its Ultra Night Portrait powered with Turbo RAW algorithm for quicker nighttime photography, higher resolution, and noise reduction. With this feature, you will surely have a super-clear nighttime portrait that will step up your night photography game.

“As a photographer, I believe that even though it’s nighttime and dark, it shouldn’t ruin your chances to capture memorable moments. Night photography gives a different feeling and inspiration as it challenges me with limited light. These low-lit environments bring out creativity to capture each moment and experience. Since I cannot always take my DSLR cameras with me, I rely on the Portrait Expert’s Ultra Night Portrait and Ultra Night Video for high-quality images and videos. These features allow me to take photos or videos at night whenever I feel inspired,” said Angeles.

Built with more imaging capabilities for everyday style, content 

Show off your skills to your social media friends and followers with your snaps and video posts with OPPO Reno8 5G’s Portrait Mode for bokeh effects comparable to professional DSLR cameras. You can also take a movie-like, non-shaky timelapse of scenery and landscapes with its feature, Hyperlapse.

You can also have the creative flexibility given by OPPO Reno8 5G’s 960fps AI Slow-Motion with your videos since you have complete control over how and when slow motion begins. The AI used in the feature contributes to making the experience run more smoothly and appear sharper.

To top it all off, OPPO Reno8 5G’s AI Portrait Retouching makes real-time retouching more accurate because this leading-edge algorithm can detect 193 facial recognition points. This creates more effortless face shape retouching and adjustment when shooting a video.

“One of the things I enjoy about the OPPO Reno8 5G is its broad imaging capabilities that I can use more to empower my creative side, like the Portrait Mode. This feature delivers DSLR-like bokeh effects that I can freely adjust according to my preference, allowing me to explore various styles,” Liwanag remarked.

Angeles could not agree more with how the additional features help his creativity. “Because of the Portrait Expert’s Hyperlapse, I have a fun and different method of telling experiences in a longer but engaging and compressed form.”

Through OPPO Inspiration Challenge, OPPO Research Institute will partner with Qualcomm Technologies, GSMA 5G IN, Amazon Web Services, and LinkedIn to empower technology professionals and entrepreneurs worldwide to bring innovative solutions to life.
In line with OPPO’s mission of ‘Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World’, 2023 Inspiration Challenge is calling for proposals in the two categories of ‘Inspiration for People’ and ‘Inspiration for the Planet’.

OPPO Research Institute, together with global partners Qualcomm Technologies, GSMA 5G IN, Amazon Web Services and LinkedIn, announced the launch of 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge on the World Smile Day. Based on the brand proposition of “Inspiration Ahead”, OPPO and its global technology ecosystem partners aim to bring new and innovative solutions to life by providing funding, support and partnership opportunities. By working together, OPPO hopes these innovations can create a positive impact, and encourage greater awareness of the issues that affect global communities.

OPPO and partners pledge funding and technical support for innovative proposals

“OPPO believes deeply in the idea of ‘Virtuous Innovation’. As we continue to explore new technology, we remain dedicated to doing so in a way that puts people first.” said Head of the OPPO Research Institute. “With the global issues like public health, accessible technology and environmental protection being the key concerns, we could not rely on our own efforts to provide solutions. We have therefore initiated the Inspiration Challenge to empower like-minded innovators to tackle these big issues together with us using the power of technology and create a better world for all.”

Applications for the 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge will start from May 8 to June 30, with three regional demo events set to take place in Bangkok, Boston and Shenzhen in August. Finalists from each regional demo event will be invited to join the Inspiration Challenge Acceleration Camp and meet with OPPO executives and technical experts to revise their proposals before the global final demo event at the end of August.

Global Timeline for 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge

All the proposals for OPPO Inspiration Challenge this year will be evaluated based on the four criteria of Feasibility, Technological Innovation, Long-term Potential, and Social Values. A total of 15 qualified proposals from regional demo events will be selected as global finalists and top 5 winning proposals will be selected in the global final demo event, each being awarded a grant of USD $50,000 (approximately 350,000 RMB, tax included).

Further partnership opportunities are open to the top 45 proposals worldwide – made up of the top 15 proposals in each regional challenge – including, but not limited to:

OPPO to collaborate with technology professionals worldwide to create a better future

During the OPPO Inspiration Challenge last year, 536 proposals were collected from innovators around the world aimed at tackling key challenges in ‘Accessible Technology’ and ‘Digital Health’. OPPO has since worked with 18 of these teams to further implement their proposals and has brought some of them to global platforms such as OPPO INNO DAY 2022 and MWC 2023.

Top 10 Outstanding Proposals for 2022 OPPO Inspiration Challenge

As health, accessibility, and environmental protection being the key focuses for society, it’s important to drive progress in these key areas through innovative technology. 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge will focus on the two categories of ‘Inspiration for People’ and ‘Inspiration for the Planet’, supporting technology professionals around the world to develop innovative solutions in these two areas.

Inspiration for People: Innovative Solutions for Digital Health and Accessible Technology

It includes health algorithms; hardware sensor innovations i.e. the integration of new and advanced sensors into daily health monitoring devices; innovative products for digital health monitoring; accessibility assistive technologies; and technology designed for the elderly. The primary focus of this category is to make technology accessible and beneficial to everyone.

Inspiration for the Planet: Innovative Solutions for Environmental Protection and Low-Carbon Development

Aligned with OPPO’s pledge to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations by 2050, this category calls for innovative solutions related to environmental protection and low-carbon development as applied to consumer electronics. It includes renewable energy; sustainable materials and packaging; green production processes; recycling of electronic products; and carbon emission digital management. The primary focus of this category is to minimize the environmental impact of electronic product manufacturing or usage, and to promote sustainable development through technology.

OPPO Unveils Reno8 T: Elevating Photography with 100MP Portrait Camera and Sleek Fiberglass-Leather Aesthetics #OPPOReno8T

Published

4 weeks ago

May 3, 2023

Jervie David Montejar

OPPO announced the arrival of the new OPPO Reno8 T in the Philippines. Equipped with an unprecedented 100MP Portrait Camera, a cutting-edge Fiberglass-Leather Design, 8GB RAM expandable by up to another 8GB, 256GB ROM and 48-Month Fluency Protection, the OPPO Reno8 T delivers all-round upgrades in a stylish device which ensures incredible experiences in both camera and entertainment while maintaining smooth performance at all times.

“We at OPPO are so excited to be introducing the latest addition to The Portrait Expert series, the OPPO Reno8 T,” shares Joanarc Sales, OPPO Philippines’ Head of CRM and Public Relations. “In keeping with our commitment to providing our users superior imaging and performance capabilities in our devices, the new OPPO Reno8 T is a breakthrough product that promises an extraordinary, all-round smartphone experience.”

Capture the World in Unprecedented Detail with the Upgraded 100MP Portrait Camera

The OPPO Reno8 T is the first Reno series phone to include a 100MP Portrait Camera, which is featured alongside a 32MP Selfie Camera and a 2MP Microlens with 20x or 40x magnification.

With the 100MP Portrait Camera, users can take high-quality portraits with more clarity and detail while enjoying the freedom to crop and enlarge photos to reimagine their images.

The Microlens of the OPPO Reno8 T also enables users to capture surprising visual images usually hidden in plain sight through 40-times magnification, offering unprecedented access to microscopic photography capabilities.

A range of top-end imaging features such as AI Portrait Super Resolution, Bokeh Flare Portrait, Selfie HDR, AI Portrait Retouching, and Flash Snapshot are also included to empower users to capture the world fully through stunning, professional-quality portraits.

All-new Upgraded Design with a Premium Texture

Continuing the classic design elements of the Reno series, the OPPO Reno8 T introduces two fresh colors: Sunset Orange and Midnight Black.

Sunset Orange is a vibrant orange color tone with a premium leather texture, created using an upgraded Fiberglass-Leather Design. The back cover’s Fiberglass-Leather Design uses a new technique to enable the removal of plastic edging, resulting in a thinner and lighter cover than traditional leather-like battery covers. This design created a premium experience through a unified design brought by more rounded edges without sacrificing durability. The super-premium appearance is inspired by luxury leather goods, with a textured pattern that simulates the effect of leather stitching using an embossing process that is being used for the first time on Reno8 T.

Meanwhile, the Midnight Black edition features a remodeled version of OPPO Glow that gives the handset a silky-smooth touch.

A decorative reflective ring has also been added to the camera module to create a shinier appearance that resembles stars twinkling in depths of the universe. In addition, the upgraded OPPO Orbit Light provides eight different notification settings which can be personalized with eight different colors.

OPPO Reno8 T boasts an Ultra-Slim Body Design with Midnight Black only 7.80mm thickness and weighs about 180 g, while Sunset Orange weighs about 183 g and has a thickness of 7.85mm.

Superior Performance for an All-round Smooth Experience

OPPO has completely overhauled the performance of the Reno8 T and implemented multiple features to guarantee users a smoother experience for longer. Among these is the OPPO-developed Dynamic Computing Engine, which provides a smoother and more stable operating system to fundamentally improve the user experience. OPPO Labs have specifically tested the Reno8 T for 48-Month Fluency Protection to ensure it maintains a high degree of operating fluency even after four years of use.

With its high-capacity 5000mAh battery and 33W SUPERVOOC_TM charging technology, Reno8 T can be charged from 0 to 100% in just 67 minutes or offers 2.01 hours talk with a 5-minute charge^[1]. It comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM as the standard specification with the option to expand up to 8GB more RAM using OPPO’s RAM Expansion technology.

Delivering exceptional visual entertainment on Reno8 T is a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate, while on the audio side, a Dual Stereo Speaker provides surround sound for a more immersive gaming and movie experience, with its built-in Ultra Volume Mode boosting the maximum volume by an additional 40%.

Convenience and Security in New ColorOS 13

Reno8 T is powered by the latest edition of ColorOS 13, which brings users even more smart features in a concise, convenient, and secured Android experience.

Users can now control Spotify from the Always-On Display, choosing to play or pause music, or select playlists from the recommendations section without unlocking the phone. Moreover, Screen Translate built with Google Lens can now translate the content of an entire screen in just one click from the sidebar menu, rather than having to switch between different apps manually.

A number of enhancements to security and privacy have been updated in the latest ColorOS 13. Auto Pixelate can automatically recognize and pixelate sensitive information on chat message screenshots with just one click, while the Private Safe has been refined to reduce the risk of losing or disclosing password-protected data.

In Sunset Orange and Midnight Black, the OPPO Reno8 T will soon be available in the Philippines. Stay tuned to https://www.oppo.com/ph/ or check out OPPO Philippines’ official social media pages on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok for details on the official release.
