OPPO’s Vice President Shen Yiren had claimed in the previous week that the new smartphone from the company will be equipped with Snapdragon 855 chipset, 4,065mAh battery and 10x hybrid zoom. On AnTuTu, the same SD855 powered had reportedly appeared with specs like full HD+ display, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB of storage, 16-megapixel and Android 9 Pie OS. The camera configuration of the phone was found to be of 12-megapixel in AnTuTu benchmarks. However, it is speculated that the handset is actually equipped with 48-megapixel Sony IM586 and the 12-megapixel camera could be a testing sensor. The handset recorded an impressive average benchmarking score of 356,246.

So, could this mysterious SD855 phone be the higher version of the OPPO Reno or could it be a different flagship phone from the company? The launch event of the OPPO Reno is almost a month away and the company has already started with its registrations. Hopefully, forthcoming reports will shed more details on the SD855 powered OPPO phone.
