Oppo Reno 8 series’ seek to evoke the design element visible in the architecture of the Great Pyramids and Taj Mahal

Oppo Reno series has been known for its design language. The smartphone series design has been the key highlight since its launch in 2018. It seems the upcoming Reno 8 series will be no different. Oppo will launch Oppo Reno 8 series in India on July 18. The series will comprise Oppo Reno 8 and Oppo Reno 8 Pro. This time, Oppo claims that it has adopted the Golden Ratio from Sacred Geometry as the philosophy for its Reno 8 Pro phones.
What is Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio (1:.618) forms the basis of the Reno 8 Pro’s design and is said to be a mathematical proportion that is naturally pleasing to the eye. “The Golden Ratio occurs in the arrangement of the seeds in a sunflower, the petals of a rose, and even the spiral of the Nautilus shell. It is visible in the architecture of the Parthenon, the Great Pyramids and even the Taj Mahal,” says the company in a release. Oppo’s designers are claimed to have used this very same proportion to section the rear camera module — both laterally and vertically — on the handset.
The sleekest Oppo Reno yet
Oppo says that the upcoming Oppo Reno 8 Pro will be the company’s sleekest Reno device yet. The entire back of the handset is said to use a single piece of glass that is heat-forged and pressure moulded to form the soft curves required for the camera module. The process involved creating a graphite mould that was hand polished with three diamond sheets of different roughness to ensure smoothness. To remove the wrinkles caused by high-temperature forging and moulding around the camera module, Oppo team is said to have employed eight nanometre-scale polishing processes to guarantee a surface fineness of 1-2 nanometres. Oppo says that the phone’s camera module has been designed as per the prominent binocular camera set-up to resemble the two reels of a film camera. This also draws a parallel to the infinity symbol—as well as the number ‘8’—- to denote its order in the Reno Series.
The slimmest Oppo Reno yet, Oppo Reno 8 Pro will weigh 179 gm and is 7.67mm thin. The smartphone will come with an aluminium frame, coupled with Gorilla Glass 5.
To come in new colours
The ultra-slim Oppo Reno8 Pro will be available in two colours -— Glazed Green and Glazed Black. The Reno 8 will come in two plush hues: Shimmering Gold, a colour effect claimed to be achieved by a combination of dual textures and coatings; and Shimmering Black, which is said to resemble a starry night sky.
