Post the unveiling of its 10x hybrid zoom technology at MWC 2019 last month, Oppo has been hyping the launch of its upcoming flagship for weeks. The Oppo Reno, a new lineup from the Chinese giant has finally been announced and it comes in 2 editions – one is the standard Reno and the other a higher-end flagship variant with 10x zoom and Qualcomm Snapdragon 855.
The Oppo Reno series has been launched in China today, with the Standard Edition price starting at 2,999 yuan (around Rs 31,000) for the 6GB+128GB base variant. It comes in four color variants namely fog sea green, extreme night black, mist powder, and nebula purple (names translated from Chinese).
The Oppo Reno series is now available for pre-order and will go on sale from 16th April, only in China at the moment though. These smartphones are expected to go global at a launch event in Zurich on 24th April, where the pricing for Europe, India, and numerous other markets is expected to be announced.
Oppo Reno: Standard Edition
On the camera front, the standard edition Reno includes a dual rear camera setup with a 48MP (f/1.7) Sony IMX586 sensor, along with a 5MP (f/2.4) depth sensor. The latter sure comes as a disappointment and I would’ve preferred an ultra wide-angle secondary lens.
Jumping to the main attraction of the launch today, the Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition is boasting the same design as the standard edition but comes with a larger 6.6-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED screen.
