It has been more than four months since OPPO unveiled the Reno5 series in China. News of a successor, the Reno6 series, has been circulating since March, and now there is a chance the new phones will be announced this month.

According to a report from China, OPPO will hold a mid-year gala on May 22. The event will have lots of celebrities in attendance and there are speculations that the event will double as the launch date of the Reno6 series.

It turns out that OPPO has used this mid-year event to announce some of its phones in the past. The OPPO R15 was announced at the 2018 edition gala while the first-gen Reno series made its debut at the 2019 gala. So it is not far-fetched to presume the Reno6 to be announced at this year’s event.

There are three models expected to launch – the Reno6 which will have a Dimensity 1200 chipset and a 90Hz display, the Reno6 Pro with a Snapdragon 870 processor and a 90Hz display, and the Reno6 Pro+ powered by a Snapdragon 888 processor and with a 120Hz refresh rate. All three phones have been reported to have a 4500mAh battery capacity with support for 65W fast wired charging and support for 30W wireless fast charging.

The Reno6 series will most likely launch outside China much later considering the Reno5 series just made its way to some markets.
