Design and Display Qatar 

The OPPO Reno 8T 5G Qatar  is easily one of the best-looking phones in its price segment. The Sunrise Gold edition that I was provided for review, which I think looks better than the black variant. The device weighs 171 grams and has a slim profile of 7.7mm, which makes it very comfortable to hold.

The Reno 8T 5G Qatar has a polycarbonate back with a matte finish, which does not attract fingerprint marks and smudges. Depending on how the light hits it, the back shell glows in different colors. There is a glittery portion running below the camera module, which adds to its beauty. The 8T’s back panel looks even more attractive outdoors.

The main camera is in the first camera ring, and the rest of the cameras and the LED flash are in the second camera ring. The camera bump is easy to spot. While the phone looks beautiful, I would advise buyers to use the provided TPU case to keep its beauty intact. It features a plastic frame with a metallic shine.

The volume buttons are available on the left edge, and a power key is on the right. The top edge has a speaker hole and a microphone, whereas the opposite end has a hybrid SIM slot, a microphone, a USB-C port, and a speaker grille. The fingerprint scanner is integrated under the display of the device. I feel that its position is slightly higher, but there is nothing inconvenient about it. It should, in my opinion, be located just above the virtual home button. The earpiece is available on the top bezel of the device.

The Reno 8T 5G Qatar has an AMOLED display with curved edges and a centrally positioned punch-hole. The bottom bezel (which measures only 2.32mm) and forehead are slim and almost symmetrical. Thanks to the display curvature, the side bezels seem almost nonexistent. The company claims that it offers a 93.5 percent screen space.

The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen of the Reno 8T 5G produces FHD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate support. The color reproduction is fine, and it feels good to watch HD content on OTT platforms on the device. The Widevine L1 certification allows users to view HD content on Netflix and Prime Video, but there is no support for HDR on YouTube. The Reno 8 5G only had one speaker, but the Reno 8T 5G has dual speakers with stereo output. The audio output is quite good, and there is Ultra Volume Mode, which boosts the speakers’ level by 200 percent.

With a maximum brightness of 950 nits, Reno 8T 5G users will have no trouble viewing the display contents outside. When it comes to color profiles, the Reno 8T 5G offers options like Vivid and Natural. The colors appear more saturated on Vivid. The refresh rate options available on the 8T include 60Hz and 120Hz. There is no auto-switch mode onboard.

The Reno 8 and 8 Pro came with Gorilla Glass 5 protection, but the Reno 8T comes with AGC DT-Star 2 glass protection by Dragontrail, which does not seem inferior. While it is an upper mid-range device, Oppo has gone ahead and offered a flagship-grade display on the 8T.
