What's the story
OPPO had introduced the Reno8 series in China earlier this month. Now, Passionategeekz has reported that the phones will be launched in India by mid-June. As per the report, only the vanilla Reno8 and Reno8 Pro will come to our shores. The former will carry the specifications of the China-specific Reno8 Pro, while the latter will debut here as a rebranded Reno8 Pro+.
Context
Why does this story matter?
OPPO has introduced the Reno8 series in China as a successor to the Reno7 range that was launched in India in February 2022. If the report is true, Indians will be treated with upgraded models in just four months. Since the India-specific Reno8 and Reno8 Pro will be rebranded versions, we may not get the Reno8 Pro+ or Reno8 Lite in the country.
