Oppo Reno8 Pro (China)
- Significantly faster 80W charging
- Efficient Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset
- Potentially better thermal management
- China-specific model with potential software limitations
- Less detailed camera specifications
Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G
- Brighter display (potentially)
- More powerful GPU for gaming
- Established brand and ecosystem
- Slower 45W charging
- Potential for Exynos 2200 thermal throttling
- Higher price
Display Comparison
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ boasts a peak brightness of 1214 nits, suggesting a superior outdoor visibility experience compared to the Reno8 Pro, for which display brightness data is unavailable. While the S22+’s ‘Infinite’ contrast ratio is a marketing term, its AMOLED panel is known for vibrant colors. The Reno8 Pro’s display specs are less detailed, but Oppo typically employs high-quality AMOLED panels. The S22+’s display is likely to be more color accurate out of the box, benefitting content creators.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature capable camera systems, but detailed sensor information for the Reno8 Pro is limited. The S22+’s camera prowess relies on its image processing and potentially larger sensor size (details unavailable). While the S22+ likely excels in video recording, the Reno8 Pro’s camera system is optimized for social media sharing and everyday photography. The presence of OIS on both devices suggests stable video recording and improved low-light performance. The S22+’s camera system is more versatile, offering a wider range of shooting modes and features.
Performance
The core difference lies in the chipsets. The Samsung Galaxy S22+ utilizes either the Exynos 2200 (Europe) or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (ROW), both built on a 4nm process. The Exynos 2200 features a Cortex-X2 prime core clocked at 2.8 GHz (or 3.0 GHz in ROW variants), while the Reno8 Pro’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 has a Cortex-A710 prime core at 2.4 GHz. While the S22+ has a higher clocked prime core, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is a very efficient chip. The S22+’s GPU is significantly more powerful, making it better suited for demanding games. However, the Exynos 2200 has been known to suffer from thermal throttling under sustained load, potentially limiting its peak performance. The Reno8 Pro’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, being less power-hungry, is likely to maintain more consistent performance over extended periods.
Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ achieves an Endurance rating of 97 hours, indicating solid battery life. However, its 45W wired charging, while supporting PD3.0, is significantly slower than the Oppo Reno8 Pro’s 80W SuperVOOC charging. The Reno8 Pro can reach 45% charge in just 10 minutes and 100% in 31 minutes. This charging speed is a major advantage for users who frequently need to top up their battery. The S22+ also offers 15W wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging, features also present in the Reno8 Pro via wired reverse charging.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno8 Pro (China) if you need blazing-fast charging, a consistently smooth user experience, and are comfortable with a China-specific model. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G if you prioritize a more established brand, a potentially brighter display (depending on region), and access to a wider ecosystem of accessories and support, and are willing to trade off charging speed.
