The Oppo Reno 8 series India launch has been officially confirmed, with Oppo set to introduce two phones simultaneously — the Oppo Reno 8 and the Oppo Reno 8 Pro — reportedly on July 21. Both handsets have already made their debut in China, and Oppo itself teased the India arrival via an official tweet, confirming that the Reno 8 Pro will carry the exclusive MariSilicon X imaging processor.
Oppo Reno 8 Series India Launch: What to Expect
According to available information, the Indian variant of the Oppo Reno 8 will mirror the Chinese version's specifications, while the Oppo Reno 8 Pro heading to India is essentially a re-branded version of the Oppo Reno 8 Pro+. Oppo has activated a product page on its official website ahead of the announcement, though final pricing and confirmed specs for the India market are yet to be disclosed officially.
Both phones run ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12, and both are equipped with in-display fingerprint sensors, 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.3, GPS/A-GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C ports — making either model a capable mid-range contender for the Indian market.
Oppo Reno 8 Specifications
The standard Oppo Reno 8 is built around the MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. It sports a 6.43-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection for durability.
On the camera front, the Reno 8 carries a triple rear setup: a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel monochrome lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. Selfie duties are handled by a 32-megapixel front camera. Keeping the lights on is a 4500mAh battery with 80W Super Flash Charge support.

Oppo Reno 8 Pro: Upgraded Display and MariSilicon X Camera Chip
The Oppo Reno 8 Pro steps up to a larger 6.7-inch Full HD+ OLED panel with a smoother 120Hz refresh rate and the same Gorilla Glass 5 shielding. Under the hood sits the more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max processor alongside up to 12 GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 256 GB of storage.
The biggest differentiator is the Mariana MariSilicon X imaging chip, which Oppo has specifically highlighted for the India launch. This dedicated NPU-class chip enhances low-light photography and video processing beyond what the main SoC can achieve on its own.
Camera hardware on the Reno 8 Pro comprises a 50-megapixel primary lens, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera — a meaningful upgrade over the standard model's dual 2MP secondary sensors. The 32-megapixel selfie camera is shared across both models. The battery capacity and charging speed remain identical: a 4500mAh cell charged at up to 80W Super Flash Charge.

Connectivity and Software on Both Models
Both the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro are kitted out with the same connectivity stack: 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS/A-GPS, NFC, and a USB Type-C port. An in-display fingerprint sensor handles biometric security on each model. Software is ColorOS 12.1 layered over Android 12 out of the box.
The simultaneous launch of two phones under the Oppo Reno 8 series gives Indian buyers a clear choice: the compact Reno 8 with a crisp AMOLED panel and the Dimensity 1300, or the Reno 8 Pro with its larger OLED screen, faster chip, dedicated MariSilicon X camera processor, and wider ultra-wide lens. Official India pricing has not been announced yet, but given that both phones have already shipped in China, details are expected closer to the July 21 event.
