Recently, a new OPPO phone with PEYM00 model number was approved by the TENAA authority of China. The images of the phone that have appeared at the Chinese certification site revealed that it will be arriving as a K-series phone. A tipster has claimed that it will be a rebranded version of an existing Realme phone.

According to the tipster, the OPPO PEYM00 will be releasing in the market with the OPPO K9 Pro moniker. The rear image of the phone reveals that the “09-K Pro,” which further indicates that it will be a Pro version of the OPPO K9 that debuted in May in China.

The tipster has claimed it will be rebranded version of the Realme GT Neo. It is known through its TENAA listing that it has a 6.43-inch AMOLED FHD+ display, a 3.0GHz octa-core processor (could be Dimensity 1200), 8 GB / 12 GB of RAM, 128 GB / 256 GB of storage, and a 4,400mAh battery that seemingly supports 65W fast charging.

It was found at the time of writing this post that the Realme GT Neo is no longer available for purchase in China. This indicates that the K9 Pro will be launching soon. Probably, Realme has no plans to sell the GT Neo again.
