It seems Oppo is considering making changes to the Reno lineup. Historically, the Reno line has consisted of at least three models: a standard version, a Pro model, and a top-end Pro+ version. However, reports suggest that moving forward, Oppo will discontinue the Reno Pro+ model, meaning that we won’t see a Reno 11 Pro+ in the future. The brand could make up for it with a new Find X6 variant. Here are the details.
Find X6 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 may launch soon
A Chinese tipster has claimed on Weibo that Oppo is dropping the Reno Pro+ from the upcoming Reno series. This change is said to be primarily for China but may also extend to global markets. As a result, the Reno 11 series, set to launch next year, may not include the Reno 11 Pro+ model. Instead, the company might introduce a third, even more affordable model in the series, or potentially limit the series to just two units. Although the tipster doesn’t provide a specific reason for this decision, it seems there are no takers for the Reno Pro+ model in China.
However, the same tipster says Oppo will be adding a new device to the flagship Find X series. Currently, the Find X6 lineup includes the Find X6 and Find X6 Pro (review) models, which are powered by the Dimensity 9200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets, respectively. The company is reportedly developing a new variant of the Find X6 that will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
This alleged new model is said to launch in the second half of this year. Considering that it packs an older chipset, the device could be priced lower than the rest two models. While this is all interesting news, we’d recommend you hold your horses until there’s an official confirmation.
