OPPO is reportedly working on the Reno 9 series and it may go official sometime in November. The lineup is expected to include two smartphones— Reno 9, Reno 9 Pro, and Reno 9 Pro+. However, details about the Pro phones are still under wraps. Now, a popular Chinese tipster claims OPPO is working on a new mid-range smartphone that will pack an IMX890 main cam and MariSilicon X chip. Let’s look at the details.

Notable tipster Digital Chat Station revealed through a Weibo post that OPPO is working on an unknown mid-range smartphone that will be equipped with Sony’s IMX890 sensor and the company’s self-developed MariSilicon X chip. For the uninitiated, it is an imaging-based chipset that was independently designed and developed by the company.

The MariSilicon X is built on 6nm process technology and features a powerful NPU, an advanced ISP, and multi-tier memory architecture to deliver unparalleled power efficiency and incredible performance, making it possible to capture 4K AI Night Videos with real-time RAW processing.

Further, Mr. Chat Station revealed that this alleged OPPO mid-ranger will feature a curved screen with a center-punched hole. In addition, the rear camera module of the smartphone will have a similar arrangement as the Reno 9 and it will feature the “Deco design” of the previous generation models.

Based on the information provided, it seems the smartphone will be launched in the premium mid-range segment.  It could debut in the range of $300-$400. The official name of the smartphone is yet to be known. We should learn more details about it soon. So, stick around for the updates.
