We subjected the Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G to our rigorous SBMARK camera test suite to measure its performance in terms of photo, video and zoom quality from an end-user perspective. This article explains how the device performed in a variety of tests and different common use cases and aims to highlight the most important results of our tests with an extract of the acquired data.

Overview

Key Camera Specifications:

  • Main: 64 MP 1/2 ″ sensor, f / 1.7 aperture lens, PDAF, EIS
  • Macro: 2MP 1/5 ″ sensor, lens with f / 2.4 aperture, FF

Pros

  • Usually precise exposure of the target in outdoor and indoor conditions in photos and videos
  • Neutral white balance on video in outdoor and indoor conditions
  • Usually fast and accurate autofocus in photos
  • Preview which is usually quite close to final capture in low dynamic range conditions
  • Precise exposure in all conditions when you zoom in most ranges

versus

  • Very visible noise indoors and low light
  • Reduced dynamic range, with sometimes visible bright clipping
  • Low storyline level in videos
  • Some heavily underexposed scenes in low-light videos
  • At long range, a very visible coarse noise, with most of the details lost
  • Lack of ultra-wide module

The Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G camera scored decent in photos and videos due to its capabilities in outdoor and indoor conditions. However, the performance wasn’t as good in harsh conditions like HDR scenes and low light for both photos and videos. Under those conditions, many failures and artifacts were visible and the device struggled to make the scenes accurate.

Unlike its direct competitors, the camera performance of the Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G has been limited due to the lack of zoom capability because the device has neither an ultra-wide module nor a telephoto lens. However, compared to its competitors, the device performed quite similarly, showing a little more detail in the images, but usually presenting more noise in all conditions.

Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G camera scores compared to high-end

This chart compares the SBMARK photo, zoom and video scores between the tested device and the references. The average and maximum scores of the price segment are also indicated. The average and maximum scores for each price segment are calculated based on the SBMARK database of tested devices.

Test summary

About SBMARK Camera Tests: SBMARK camera assessments take place in labs and real-world situations using a wide variety of subjects. Scores are based on objective tests for which results are calculated directly by the measurement software on our laboratory settings and on perceptual tests in which a sophisticated set of metrics allows a group of image experts to compare aspects of quality image that require human judgment. Testing a smartphone involves a team of engineers and technicians for about a week. The quality of photo, zoom and video is evaluated separately and then combined into an overall score for comparing cameras from different devices.

The following section collects the key elements of SBMARK’s comprehensive testing and analysis. Comprehensive performance evaluations are available upon request.

About SBMARK Camera Photo Tests

For scoring and analysis, SBMARK engineers capture and evaluate more than 2,600 test images in both controlled laboratory environments and natural outdoor, indoor and low-light scenes, using the camera’s default settings. The photographic protocol is designed to take into account the main use cases and is based on typical shooting scenarios, such as portraits, family photographs and landscapes. Evaluation is done by visually inspecting images Cons a natural scene reference and making objective measurements on graphical images captured in the lab under various lighting conditions from 1 to 1,000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300K to 6,500K.

Photo scores of Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G

Photo tests analyze image quality attributes such as exposure, color, texture, and noise under various lighting conditions. Autofocus performance and the presence of artifacts on all images acquired under controlled laboratory conditions and in real-life images are also evaluated. All of these attributes have a significant impact on the final quality of the images captured with the tested device and can help in understanding the main strengths and weaknesses of the camera.

Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G – Low dynamic range feature, but the white balance is quite accurate.

Autofocus irregularity and speed: 1000Lux Δ0EV Daylight Handheld

This graph illustrates focus accuracy and speed as well as zero shutter lag capability, showing edge sharpness versus shutter speed measured on the AFHDR setting over a series of images. All photos were taken at 1000 Lux with the Daylight Highlighter, 500ms after blurring. Edge sharpness is measured on the four edges of the Dead Leaves graph and shutter speed is measured on the Universal Timer LED.

SBMARK CHART (DMC) detail retention score versus lux levels for tripod and handheld conditions

This graph shows the evolution of the DMC detail retention score with the lux level, for two retention conditions. The DMC detail retention score is derived from an AI-based metric trained to evaluate texture and detail rendering on a selection of crops from our SBMARK chart.

Evolution of visual noise with lighting levels in handheld condition

This graph shows the evolution of the visual noise metric with the lux level under portable conditions. The visual noise metric is the average of the visual noise measurement across all Dead Leaves chart patches in the AFHDR setting. SBMARK visual noise measurement is derived from the ISO15739 standard.

Learn about SBMARK camera zoom tests

SBMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 400 test images in controlled laboratory environments and outdoor, indoor and natural scenes in low light conditions, using the camera’s default settings and zooming in at various zoom factors, from ultra wide angle at ultra-long range zoom. Evaluation is done by visually inspecting images Cons a natural scene reference and making objective measurements of graphs captured in the lab under different conditions from 20 to 1000 lux and color temperatures from 2300K to 6500K.

About SBMARK Camera Video Tests

SBMARK engineers capture and evaluate over 2.5 hours of video in controlled laboratory environments and natural low-light scenes, indoor and outdoor, using the camera’s default settings. The assessment consists of visually inspecting natural videos taken under various conditions and carrying out objective measurements on graphical videos recorded in the laboratory under different conditions from 1 to 1000+ lux and color temperatures from 2,300 K to 6,500 K.

Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G video scores

Video tests analyze the same image quality attributes as still images, such as exposure, color, texture, or noise, as well as temporal aspects such as speed, exposure uniformity and stability, white balance, and autofocus transitions.

Oppo Reno8 Lite 5G – The exposure to the target is low and the information in the dark parts is lost. A pink cast is visible.

SBMARK CHART (DMC) detail retention video score versus lux levels

This graph shows the evolution of the DMC detail retention video score with the lux level in the video. The DMC detail retention score is derived from an AI-based metric trained to evaluate texture and detail rendering on a selection of crops from our SBMARK chart.

Spatial evolution of visual noise with the level of illuminance

This graph shows the evolution of spatial visual noise with the level of lux. Spatial visual noise is measured on the visual noise graph in the video noise setting. SBMARK visual noise measurement is derived from the ISO15739 standard.

Time evolution of visual noise with the level of illuminance

This graph shows the evolution of temporal visual noise with the level of lux. Visual temporal noise is measured on the visual noise graph in the video noise setting.
