Apple iPhone 8 Plus vs OPPO Reno 11 Pro
The Verdict
iPhone 8 Plus represents older flagship technology from 2017, while Reno 11 Pro is a modern mid-range device from 2023. Display quality favors Reno 11 Pro significantly with its 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED screen (1200 nits) versus iPhone's 5.5-inch 60Hz IPS LCD (625 nits). Performance-wise, A11 Bionic remains capable for daily tasks, but Dimensity 8200 offers better multitasking with 12GB RAM versus 3GB. Camera specs show Reno 11 Pro's 50MP main sensor with 32MP telephoto surpasses iPhone's dual 12MP setup, though iPhone 8 Plus excels at 4K60fps video. Battery is a decisive factor: Reno 11 Pro's 4600mAh with 80W fast charging vastly outperforms iPhone's 2691mAh. Connectivity heavily favors Reno 11 Pro with 5G, USB-C, and Wi-Fi 6. At $299 price difference, Reno 11 Pro offers superior value with modern features and significantly better daily usability despite older iOS ecosystem familiarity.
