The Oppo Reno 5 series could be the direct successor to the Reno 3 series, according to a new report. The news arrives from Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, from the account of Digital Chat Station.

For those unaware, the number ‘4’ is generally considered as bad luck in Chinese tradition. Thus, OEM’s sometimes skip the names of their products with this number. A popular example of this is the OnePlus 5 series which arrived directly after the OnePlus 3 series. As of right now, finer details regarding the Oppo Reno 5 series is unknown.

Unfortunately, its internal specifications are still at large at the moment, but going by the industry trend, a few educated guesses can be made. The Oppo Reno 5 series is likely to be a mid segment smartphone and may arrive with either Qualcomm’ Snapdragon 765G SoC or MediaTek’s new Dimensity chipsets. Furthermore, it is also possible that it may feature a high refresh rate display and quite possibly the newer and faster 5G network as well.

Although, these are just speculations so take this with a grain of salt. Despite having the name revealed, we still don’t know a lot about the Reno 5 series. But the Weibo post did mention one crucial information, which is the release date that is set sometime in May 2020. So stay tuned for additional information that should arrive in the next couple of weeks.
