OPPO unveiled ColorOS 7 today at an event in China today. The new operating system brings new features and is designed to make usage more comfortable.
While the new version of ColorOS will be available to a number of OPPO devices in the future via an update, OPPO has announced that the OS will appear first on the Reno 3, its upcoming phone scheduled for release in December.
The OPPO Reno 3 will be a 5G phone with support for NSA and SA 5G networks. The details about the phone’s specifications are currently unknown, but last month, it was reported that OPPO and Qualcomm will announce a dual-band 5G phone in December. As at then, the name of the phone wasn’t known but now it has been revealed it will launch as the Reno 3.
The Reno 3 will most likely be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7250 processor which will have an integrated 5G modem. However, we have a feeling the phone will not go on sale until next year.
Qualcomm has a summit scheduled for early December where it is expected to announce new processors including the SM7250. It most likely already shipped samples of the chipset to manufacturers and those samples will be used for the Reno 3 launch. However, commercial quantities won’t be available until next year. So while the Reno 3 may launch next month, folks will probably not get their hands on a unit until January.
Today’s launch was for the Chinese unveiling of ColorOS 7. Next week, OPPO will have a global unveiling in India.
