Other expected launches

• realme 8 5G, realme 8i

  • realme has already confirmed that it will launch a 5G version of the realme 8 and a budget-friendly realme 8i in India. Out of this, the realme 8 5G has already stopped at FCC certification.
  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • OPPO is said to bring the remaining devices of the OPPO Axx series and it might happen this month. The company has already unveiled the OPPO A54 4G version already. Next in line could be the OPPO A74, A54, and A94 5G models.
  • The OPPO A74 4G is said to come in certain markets as rebranded OPPO F19 while the 5G version could have Snapdragon 480 chipset.
  • On the other hand, the OPPO A94 5G could be the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G for Europe whereas OPPO A54 5G is said to be a rebadged version of OPPO A93 5G.

• Huawei P50 series

  • When it comes to Huawei, things haven’t been so smooth lately. The company is struggling a lot to gather the supply chain after the US ban and it is hitting them hard. Previously rumored to come this month, the launch of the Huawei P50 series looks to be a far cry for now.
  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

These are the confirmed/expected smartphone launches for the month of April. We hope you enjoyed reading it and as always please share your feedback in the comments below. It really helps us improve our future articles.

OPPO is said to be working on two different Axx smartphones. Certifications like Thailand’s NBTC reveal that the OPPO CPH2219 is the OPPO A74 4G while the OPPO CPH2197 is the OPPO A74 5G. Today, the 5G variant has been spotted on Geekbench by Nashvillechatterclass.

As the report says, an OPPO smartphone with model number CPH2197 appears on Geekbench. This device has a Qualcomm processor with a base frequency of 1.8GHz. While the name isn’t specified, the motherboard is written as “holi“. This is said to belong to the Snapdragon 480 5G chipset launched in Jan. 2021.

Further, the OPPO CPH2197 device, which is the OPPO A74 5G as per certifications, seems to run Android 11 OS with 6GB RAM. The device could very well debut with the latest ColorOS 11.2 out of the box but let’s wait for an official word.

OPPO A74 5G isn’t new to us. Recently, the high-quality renders and key specs of the devices surfaced on the internet. Accordingly, the device is said to measure 169.2 x 74.7 x 8.4 mm and weigh 190 grams.

The 5G version is said to come in two colors- Fluid Black and Space Silver. Expected specs of the device include up to 128GB storage, 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.

The predecessor, OPPO A73 5G featured an IPS LCD panel but we will have to wait and see if OPPO shits to AMOLED on the successor. We are speculating this because the chipset seems to be a bit downgraded on the OPPO A74 5G compared to last year.

Recently, OPPO CPH2197 passed several certifications and it is said to be the OPPO A74 5G smartphone. Today, renders and specs of the device have been leaked and it looks similar to the upcoming OPPO F19 smartphone.

As reported by mobielkopen.net, the OPPO A74 will launch in 4G and 5G versions. Out of this, the 5G version is said to come in two colors- Fluid Black and Space Silver. And the 4G version will debut in Prism Black and Midnight Blue options.

Talking about the renders themselves, we see a triple-camera setup on the back. There is a 48MP AI Camera etched beside the sensors. The layout, colors are a lot similar to the OPPO F19 that was recently teased by OPPO India.

Yesterday, the company launched the OPPO F19 Pro series where it also revealed that a watered-down variant OPPO F19 would be launching soon. Its rear design had a similar shade and 48MP triple-camera layout like the OPPO A74 4G above. You can compare the images below:

Well, this is not the first time OPPO has rebadged a device. In fact, the company silently debuted the OPPO A73 as a rebadged version of the OPPO F17 in 2020. Hence, the successor in 2021, at least the 4G version, could be a rebadged version too. Do note that this is our early guess and hence, take it with a pinch of salt for now.

That said, you can take a look at the other renders of the OPPO A74 4G and OPPO A74 5G versions below:

1 of 4

As for specs, the report says that the OPPO A74 4G & 5G versions will measure 169.2 x 74.7 x 8.4 mm with a weigh 190 grams. This suggests that the device will be a bit thicker, heavier, and feature a bigger display(could be 6.8-inches) than the predecessor, OPPO A73 5G.

Further, both the variants will likely have storage up to 128GB. Other expected specs include a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support, ColorOS based on Android 10 on 4G model, and Android 11 OS on the 5G device. Let’s wait for more info in the coming days.
