Oppo Reno8 Z
- Potentially more refined software experience (Oppo's ColorOS)
- Sleeker design (speculation based on brand aesthetic)
- Reverse wired charging capability
- Significantly slower charging speed (33W vs 67W)
- Longer charging time (63 minutes to full)
- Limited information on display quality
Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G
- Much faster 67W charging (full charge in 41 minutes)
- Comparable battery life to Reno8 Z (119h endurance)
- Reverse wired charging
- Xiaomi's MIUI can be bloated with pre-installed apps
- Potentially less refined design compared to Oppo
- Limited information on display quality
Display Comparison
Both devices share an 'Infinite' (nominal) contrast ratio, suggesting typical IPS LCD characteristics. However, detailed display specs like peak brightness, color gamut coverage, and refresh rate are missing. Given the price bracket, we can assume both utilize 6.67-inch displays, but the Reno8 Z may offer slightly better color calibration based on Oppo’s historical focus on display quality. Without concrete data, it’s difficult to declare a clear winner; the user experience will likely be similar.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature photo/video capabilities, but detailed sensor information is lacking. The absence of specifics suggests neither phone boasts a flagship-level camera system. The usefulness of a 2MP macro camera (likely present on both) is questionable, offering limited image quality. Without knowing the main sensor size, aperture, or the presence of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), it’s impossible to definitively assess camera performance. Image processing style will likely differ, with Oppo tending towards more vibrant colors and Xiaomi towards a more natural look.
Performance
The core of both phones is the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) with an Octa-core CPU configuration (2x2.2 GHz Kryo 660 Gold & 6x1.7 GHz Kryo 660 Silver). This means performance will be nearly identical in everyday tasks and most gaming scenarios. The 6nm process node offers a good balance of power efficiency and performance. The absence of LPDDR5x RAM specifications suggests both likely use LPDDR4x, limiting potential performance gains. Thermal management will likely be similar, with both phones potentially throttling under sustained heavy loads.
Battery Life
The Poco X4 Pro 5G and Reno8 Z both boast an endurance rating of 119 hours, indicating comparable battery life under typical usage. However, the critical difference lies in charging speed. The Poco X4 Pro 5G’s 67W wired charging, supporting PD3.0 and QC3, delivers a full charge in just 41 minutes, while the Reno8 Z’s 33W wired charging (also PD-compatible) takes 63 minutes. This 22-minute difference is significant, especially for users who frequently need to top up their battery quickly. The Poco also offers reverse wired charging, a feature absent on the Reno8 Z.
Buying Guide
Buy the Oppo Reno8 Z if you prioritize a potentially sleeker design and are less concerned with rapid charging. Its 33W charging is adequate for overnight top-ups. Buy the Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro 5G if you value minimizing downtime and require a phone that can quickly recover from heavy usage, making it ideal for power users and those frequently on the go.
