Excitement is building for the OPPO Reno 13 series, with the latest leaks suggesting a launch as soon as November 25th in China. Following in the footsteps of the successful Reno 12 series, this highly anticipated lineup from OPPO promises to deliver premium mid-range features with a strong emphasis on camera capabilities and sleek design. Adding to the global buzz, the Reno 13 and Reno 13 Pro have just received IMDA certification in Singapore, indicating that a worldwide debut may be just around the corner.
OPPO Reno 13 Series: Confirmed Marketing Names and Connectivity
The IMDA certification has officially confirmed the marketing names for both the Reno 13 and Reno 13 Pro, listing model numbers CPH2689 and CPH2697. The certification also reveals an array of connectivity options, including 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, and GPS. The Reno 13 Pro will support eSIM functionality, a useful feature for users who prefer the flexibility of embedded SIM technology.
What to Expect from the OPPO Reno 13 Series
With details beginning to surface from various leaks, the OPPO Reno 13 Pro is expected to showcase some serious upgrades over its predecessor. While specific information about the vanilla Reno 13 is limited, we’ve had a glimpse of its camera capabilities. It’s expected to feature a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP front-facing camera, ensuring high-quality images on both ends.
Reno 13 Pro Expected Specifications
- Display: Rumors are pointing to a 6.83-inch quad-curved display for the Reno 13 Pro, though an earlier report mentioned a 6.78-inch screen. Either way, users can expect an expansive, immersive display experience.
- Processor: The Reno 13 Pro could be the first phone to introduce MediaTek’s Dimensity 8350 SoC. However, some sources have suggested that the Dimensity 9300 might power the Pro model. For comparison, the Reno 12 Pro in China runs on the Dimensity 9200+ Star Edition, while the Indian version has the Dimensity 7300-Energy SoC.
- Memory: The Reno 13 Pro may be available in a high-end variant with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage—ideal for users who demand large storage and efficient multitasking.
- Cameras: The Reno 13 Pro is expected to feature a 50MP main camera, a 50MP 3x telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle sensor, with a 50MP front camera. This setup matches the Reno 12 Pro in China, except for the upgraded 3x zoom telephoto lens (from 2x).
- Battery: The Reno 13 Pro could pack a powerful 5,900mAh battery, with 80W fast wired charging and 50W wireless charging—a significant upgrade from the 5,000mAh battery in the Reno 12 Pro’s Chinese variant.
- Additional Features: The Reno 13 Pro may also come with IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, enhancing durability.
Expected Launch Timeline
While the exact India launch timeline for the Reno 13 series remains undisclosed, OPPO’s past timelines suggest a likely unveiling in January. The brand has previously introduced new series in China before expanding globally within a few months. For context, the Reno 11 series launched in China in November 2023 and reached India by January 2024. Similarly, the Reno 12 series debuted in China in May and landed in India by July.
The OPPO Reno 13 series is shaping up to be a powerful addition to OPPO’s lineup, blending high-end features with a premium aesthetic. As OPPO prepares for its launch, the excitement continues to build, with fans around the world eagerly awaiting the latest in the Reno series.
