Oppo recently unveiled the Reno 13 and 13 Pro in China, offering a refined design and exciting new software features. While these phones are currently exclusive to the Chinese market, it appears that global availability could be just around the corner.
The Oppo Reno 13 Pro has been spotted on multiple certification platforms outside China, including India’s BIS and UAE’s TDRA (with model number CPH2697), suggesting an imminent global launch. With certification listings in India and the UAE, it’s likely that the Reno 13 Pro will hit global markets, including India, in the coming months.
The same model number was earlier disclosed by Singapore’s IMDA certification body, indicating that Oppo is preparing to expand the reach of its new Reno series beyond China. Interestingly, the Reno 13 series has also been spotted on Indonesia’s SDPPI website, further signaling that these devices are being prepped for a global rollout.
According to sources, the Oppo Reno 13 series, including the Reno 13 Pro, could land in India as early as January 2025.
What to expect from the Reno 13 Pro global version?
The Reno 13 Pro promises to be a major upgrade over its predecessor, the Reno 12 Pro. Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming global release:
A larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1272 x 2800 resolution, offering a 120Hz refresh rate and 1200 nits of peak brightness. This is a bigger screen compared to the 6.7-inch panel on the Reno 12 Pro.
The phone is the first to ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 SoC, which might be a step down from the Dimensity 9200+ found in the Reno 12 Pro but still promises solid performance.
As for the cameras, the phone is expected to feature a powerful 50MP+50MP+8MP triple-camera setup with 3.5x optical zoom and ultrawide capabilities. For selfies, you’ll get a 50MP front camera, making it one of the most powerful selfie shooters in its category.
On the inside, there’s a 5,800mAh battery (up from 5000mAh of the Reno 12 Pro) that supports 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. It means reasonably lower downtime paired with longer battery life, which is one of the key aspects of a good user experience.
Design-wise, the phone features a sleek look with flat sides and rounded edges. It’s expected to come in Black, Purple, and Pink colors, and could also sport an IP66+68+69 rating, making it water-resistant.
In China, the Reno 13 series starts at 2699 yuan (₹31,429), with the Reno 13 Pro priced at 3399 yuan (₹39,581). While pricing for the Indian market is not confirmed, tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore suggests the Reno 13’s Indian variant will be priced similarly to the Reno 12, starting at around ₹32,999 for the 8GB + 256GB variant.
