Now that the May Day holidays in China are almost over, many smartphone brands are gearing up to announce new smartphones for Q2 of this year. One of them is Oppo, which is expected to unveil the Reno 12 series as early as this month in China.

In November 2023, Oppo unveiled the Reno 11 series in China. In February, the first leaks of the Reno 12 series emerged, which revealed many details about the Reno 12 and the Reno 12 Pro. Here is a look at what to expect from the next-generation Reno smartphones.

Oppo is reportedly developing additional products, including the Oppo Pad 3 and the Enco R3. The Pad 3 is expected to debut as the world’s first tablet powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. 

On the other hand, the Enco R3 is expected to sport a semi-in-ear design. It is expected to come with features, such as spatial sound effects, noise cancellation for calls, Hi-Fi audio, and dual device connection.

There is a possibility that a slightly modified Reno 12 series may hit the global market in July. It is speculated that the Oppo Pad 3 will be rebranded as the OnePlus Pad 2 in the global market.
