May include a 50MP primary camera
Reports of the Oppo Reno 7 and the Reno 7 Pro launching sometime in 2021 have been doing the rounds for some days now. However, now we are hearing that the Oppo Reno 7 series will land on Indian shores only by January 2022. Of course, leaks around gadget's specifications and pricing too surfaced and gave us an idea of the user spectrum the brand was targeting.
Information over the launch date has been sketchy for quite some time now but we now have 91mobiles claiming that Oppo would roll out just the base variant and the Pro variant of the series in India. The two other variants, viz., the Oppo Reno 7 SE and the Oppo Reno 7 Pro Plus may not make it to our shores, the report says.
Given this timeline, we believe that the Oppo Reno 7 series should arrive in China by the end of this month or latest by early December.
