OPPO will be launching the Reno3 series of smartphones on Dec. 26. The company has already confirmed that the Reno3 Pro will be equipped with Snapdragon 765G mobile platform whereas the Reno3 will be coming with a MediaTek SoC. Newer reports have revealed that the Reno3 will be driven by MediaTek MT6885 chipset. A new OPPO phone with model number PDCM00 driven by the MT6885 has appeared on AnTuTu benchmarks. It appears to be Reno3 5G phone. Another leak has revealed that the Reno3 5G will be arriving with 64-megapixel quad cameras.

The PDCM00 OPPO Reno3 phone has scored 143,075 points in the CPU test and 107,282 points in the graphics test. The handset has scored 75,354 and 54,128 points in the memory and UX tests of AnTuTu. The average benchmarking score recorded by the smartphone is 379,839. This score is higher than the Exynos 980 powered Vivo X30 Pro that recorded 326,029 points and the Snapdragon 765G driven Redmi K30 that recorded 302,847 points. MediaTek is yet to announce the MT6885 chipset. The Chinese tipster who shared the above screenshot claims that the SoC will debut as Dimensity 1000L. Its a lower variant of 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 1000 5G chipset that was announced last month.

The tipster also shared another screengrab of the Reno3 5G. The image reveals that the Reno3 PDCM00 phone has an f/1.8 aperture camera that can shoot images of 6912 x 9216 resolution. This indicates that the phone is fitted with a 64-megapixel main lens. Probably, it could be featuring a Samsung GW1 64-megapixel lens that is available on the OPPO K5 phone.

The official renders have revealed that the OPPO Reno3 Pro will be arriving with a punch-hole display. On the other side, the Reno3 has a waterdrop notch on its screen. Both phones are fitted with a vertical camera setup with four cameras on their rear.

At the beginning of this month, the OPPO PCPM00 / PCPT00 smartphone was spotted with full specs on TENAA. At that time, the handset was speculated to debut as Reno3. Apparently, the PCPM00 / PCTM00 phone lacks support for 5G connectivity which suggests that it could be a different phone or a 4G only version of the Reno3.

Hopefully, the PDCM00 smartphone will soon appear on TENAA with full specifications before the Dec. 26 launch date. As far as Reno3 Pro is concerned, it has already appeared on TENAA with its entire specifications. The OPPO Reno3 and Reno3 Pro smartphones are now up for reservations in China. The pricing of these phones is currently under the wraps.

Yesterday, OPPO confirmed they will launch a 5G phone powered by the Snapdragon 765G processor. This phone will arrive as the Reno3 Pro. A new leak says the Chinese phone company actually has two mid-range 5G flagship phones planned with the second powered by MediaTek’s MT6885 processor. The alleged specs of this phone have now been leaked.

The info comes from @Digital Chat Station. He first posted on Weibo yesterday that OPPO will launch two 5G phones with two different chipsets. The post then said the specifications will be posted today. According to him, the final specs may be different, so we advise our readers to take the info with a grain of salt.

The unnamed OPPO phone will have a 6.4-inch OLED display with a waterdrop notch and a 2400 x 1080 resolution. It will be powered by MediaTek’s MT6885 dual-mode 5G processor. MediaTek is yet to announce the official name of the processor as well as its full specifications. However, we believe the phone will launch under the new Dimensity family.

The leak says the OPPO phone will also have 64MP quad rear cameras but we are not sure if it will be Samsung’s 64MP sensor or Sony’s new IMX686. The phone will also have support for 30W VOOC fast charge and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The Reno3 family will be a big one like its predecessor and there is a chance that this MediaTek 5G phone may also arrive with the Reno name. We hope more details surface soon.

MediaTek is betting big on 5G to make a solid comeback into the smartphone industry. And according to a new report from Taiwan, MediaTek will be shipping its mid-range 5G chip to Huawei next year. This will be the second 5G chip from the company, code-named MT6873, targeted at the affordable segment of the smartphone market.

For the past couple of years, MediaTek has focused on developing products for 5G technology. And as 5G networks have started to roll out across the globe, the company is back into the limelight. The company’s flagship-grade 5G chipset, codenamed MT6885Z, will be officially announced on November 26. While that’ll power the expensive 5G handsets in the market in the coming months, the MT6873 chipset is really the chip we should be excited about.

MT6873 will be targeted at the mid-range smartphone market and should end up on phones around $300. We still haven’t seen any affordable 5G mid-range smartphones in the market but by Q2 2020, things are expected to change. This chip is said to power Huawei’s mid-range smartphones and we could see it inside one or two Honor 5G devices too.

Huawei’s high-end Kirin 990 5G will power its flagship models, which opens up the spot for mid-range and low-end devices. In the past couple of years, Qualcomm has traditionally supplied some chips for Huawei and Honor’s mid-rangers. However, with MT6873’s entry, MediaTek could grab a small share of those shipments next year.

MediaTek is also reportedly developing a third 5G chip for the smartphone market, targeted at a more affordable price segment. The chip should power smartphones that cost around $250.
