Kenyan musician Willy Paul and actress Sarah Hassan have been announced as brand ambassadors for the OPPO Reno8 series, ahead of its launch into the Kenyan market.
The ''portrait expert'' is the latest addition to the leading global smartphone provider and is set to be launched on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, in which a collaboration campaign featuring the two stars will be showcased.
“The modern mobile device users lead fascinating, fast and exciting lives, at Oppo we see the beauty in this and want to enable our consumers to capture these moments,” said Frederique Achieng, PR Manager, OPPO Kenya.
The two O-Stars have an exclusive partnership deal with OPPO which will see them break down and spread the influence of the Reno8 series, which is a masterpiece in all its key functionalities, such as the camera power and battery life.

Stylishness has been ingrained in the DNA of the OPPO Reno series since its inception, and the new Reno8 series continues to embody the spirit. With a commitment to providing its customers with a true premium smartphone experience, this partnership could not come at a better time.
The brand is excited to have these two dynamic and stylish stars join our journey to delivering a top-notch experience to our consumers.
Both Sarah and Willy have always invoked authenticity and style in their respective careers. Choosing them as the brand ambassadors of choice seeks to resonate these two characters widely among OPPO’s users.
Flagship Design Aesthetics
As a leading smartphone provider, OPPO believes in the integration of technology and product design as a core need for its users. This is no different with the all-new Reno8 series, bringing with it a brand-new streamlined unibody design and a shimmering colour finish, which once again lights a new path for smartphone design.
With design elements such as the use of polycarbonate back and frame, the Reno8 5G will be one of the most lightweight mid-range smartphones, weighing 179g and measuring 7.67mm in thickness and 179g in weight, easily making it ideal for daily use.
In order to enhance both the visual and physical user experience on the Reno8 series, Oppo decided to pioneer an ergonomic design that provides a truly instinctive handheld and visual sensation.
After observing how users hold and interact with their phones, Reno designers decided to take the camera module and the area between the camera module and the back cover as the focus for this ergonomic design, ultimately leading to the chic, streamlined unibody design of the Reno8.
A new line of Reno8 smartphones is scheduled to be unveiled in Nairobi on Tuesday, October 25, 2022. OPPO will soon announce further details of their new line, the Reno Series, such as specs and pricing, in this much-anticipated launch.
