Both phones have an in-display fingerprint scanner. The Oppo Reno 8 Pro also get an Ultra conductive cooling system, which includes a graphite sheet, super conductive vapour chamber cooling among other features.  

Ok. So this would be a first. Oppo's livestream appears to have been removed from YouTube. The message on top say it has been removed for violating YouTube's terms of service. We are reaching out to the Oppo team to know more. 

The NPU has been developed by Oppo itself and is meant to boost the hardware and software for the camera feature. The Reno8 Pro comes with support for 4K ultra night video thanks to this dedicated. For users this should mean clear 4K videos even when shooting at night. How this actually translates into real-life performance is something we can only tell once we have reviewed the device. 

Oppo's MariSilicon X is the company's own Neural Processing Unit (NPU) which is designed to boost the low-light image processing on the smartphone. The NPU has a 6 nanometre design. This NPU is only on the Reno8 Pro. The regular Reno8 does not come with the NPU. 

Oppo's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Damyant Singh Khanoria is on stage talking about the brand's new products. He's also recapping about Oppo's announcements from MWC 2022 earlier, including the 80W and 240W fast charging. The Oppo Reno8 series will come with the 80W fast charing feature. 

Oppo's launch event has begun. As we've noted, around four new products are expected. The livestream is now playing with a promotional video for upcoming Oppo Reno8 Pro. The phone will run the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max chipset. 

The Oppo Reno8 is expected to come with the Mediatek Dimensity 1300 chipset, a 50MP triple camera, 32MP front camera and 80W fast charging. Given how Oppo priced the Reno7 series, the Reno8 will start at closer to Rs 30,000. But what do you think would be the price for the Reno8?Let us know in the comments. 

The price of the Reno8 Pro leaked online ahead of the launched event, and it is Rs 46,999 for the most expensive 12GB RAM+256GB variant. This means the baseline Oppo Reno8 Pro could start at Rs 40,000, which is not surprising given the Reno7 Pro had a starting price of Rs 38,999. So what will be its possible competition given the price? Well, it will likely compete against the Nothing phone (1), the OnePlus 10R, which has the same processor. The Galaxy A53 will also be a competitor given it is in a similar price range. There's also Realme GT Neo 3, which has the 8100 processor as well, and is in a similar price bracket. 

In China, the Oppo Pad Air is powered by the Snapdragon 680 processor. It comes with a 10-inch display. There's a pencil and keyboard accessory as well, which is available in China. But it is not clear if these will be launched in India or not. We will have to wait and see how this tablet is priced. 

Oppo Reno8 series will get 80W fast charging as well. The company has already confirmed this. Both phones will have a 4500 mAh battery with the 80W fast charging or the SUPERVOOC Flash Charge technology from Oppo. Oppo claims the fast charging technology has been tested and certified by TÜV Rheinland as a safe and quick charging system and it allows for a 50 per cent recharge with just 11 minutes of being plugged in. 

The Oppo Reno8 Pro's price has been leaked online ahead of launch. Tipster Mukul Sharma posted an image showing that the 12GB+256GB RAM variant will cost Rs 46,999. This is the most expensive and high-end variant of the phone. Again, we will have to wait till the launch to see if the price is the same.
