Display Comparison

Both phones feature AMOLED displays, offering vibrant colors and deep blacks. The Reno4 F likely has a slightly larger display, but the Reno8 T 5G's display may benefit from more modern display technology and potentially a higher refresh rate (though this is not definitively confirmed). Resolution is likely similar, around FHD+.

Camera Comparison

While both phones offer multiple rear cameras, the Reno8 T 5G likely benefits from newer sensor technology and image processing algorithms. Expect improved low-light performance and potentially better dynamic range on the Reno8 T 5G. Both likely feature a main sensor around 64MP.

Performance

The Reno8 T 5G's Snapdragon 695 5G chipset, built on a 6nm process, provides a substantial performance advantage over the Reno4 F's Helio P95 (12nm). Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading times, and better gaming performance on the Reno8 T 5G. The 5G modem is also a significant upgrade.

Battery Life

The Reno8 T 5G's 67W fast charging is a game-changer, allowing for a full charge in under 45 minutes. The Reno4 F's 18W charging is considerably slower. Battery capacity is likely similar, around 4500-5000 mAh, so the Reno8 T 5G's charging speed makes a huge difference in usability.

Buying Guide

The Oppo Reno4 F is a good option for budget-conscious users who prioritize a large display and don't need 5G. The Oppo Reno8 T 5G is ideal for those seeking faster performance, 5G connectivity, and incredibly quick charging speeds, even if it means a slightly higher price.
