Recently, OPPO rebranded OPPO F17 Pro into three devices namely OPPO Reno4 Lite, OPPO Reno4 F, and OPPO A93 for different markets respectively. Now, a new OPPO smartphone with model number CPH2185 visits FCC with a similar design as the realme narzo 20.
Just like Samsung, OPPO sells smartphones at every price point but not as cheap as the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy M01 Core. Some of these devices sell with a different name in different countries.
However, the company never rebrands device from its sister brands – realme and OnePlus, rather it’s opposite. For instance, the realme 1 and realme 2 were rebadged OPPO A3 and OPPO A7 respectively. Similarly, almost all OnePlus smartphones either share their design or components with OPPO.

But now, for the very first time, we could witness OPPO launching a device already debuted by its sister brand realme. The smartphone in question is OPPO CPH2185, which has been recently spotted on FCC (via @_the_tech_guy).
One of the documents includes a design schematic of the phone’s back, which reveals it to look similar to the recently launched realme narzo 20. Another document confirms it to run ColorOS 7.2 and come with a 3.5mm headphone, a USB Type-C port, and a 4,230mAh battery with support for 10W charging.
These specs suggest that its battery and charging speed will be comparatively less than narzo 20’s 6,000mAh battery and 18W fast charging. Maybe, even the chipset and camera could be different on this phone.
Hence, we feel that the only things that could be identical are its design and display. Nevertheless, it is bizarre to see OPPO rebadging a realme smartphone.
