OPPO is expected to soon confirm the launch date of the Reno 9 series for the Chinese market. According to reports, the company will make an announcement near the end of this month. A new leak has surfaced on Weibo, talking about the camera capabilities of not the Reno 9 models, but the Reno 10 series that is expected to launch in 2023.
In 2019, OPPO launched the OPPO Reno 10x Zoom. It was one of the first phones to feature come equipped with a periscope-design 5x optical lens. The Chinese manufacturer did not release a successor model for it. It appears that the company is finally going to bring the periscope zoom camera feature to its Reno series.
In a recent Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station asked Weibo users whether they want to see a periscope camera on the Reno series. He added that this generation (Reno 9 series) will not feature it, which hints that it will be available on the Reno 10 series.
At the same time, another tipster has claimed on Weibo that the Reno 10 series will come equipped with a periscope zoom camera. He claimed that the feature will be only available on the “super-cup” (machine-translated text). This indicates that the Reno 10 Pro+ may arrive with a periscope zoom camera. The tipster had previously tipped that the device will offer only 2x optical zoom.
The rumor mill is unlikely to reveal any more details about the Reno 10 series so soon since it is expected to debut by mid-2023 in China. The company and rumors are mainly focused on spilling information about the Reno 9 series.
