Verdict

Oppo Reno 8T 4G is a great premium smartphone, worth having at that price. If you have a limited budget, you could as well take it up rather than the 5G model. Being 4G enabled, with 1080p resolution, Gorilla glass tamper-proof screen protector, super slim and lightweight, 100MP primary camera and fast charging capabilities make it a great phone to have. I feel slighted however with the lack of 4K video recording for a price at that price and no waterproof certification.
