Back in May, Oppo rolled out the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta update for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace. Earlier this month, the company revealed that it will be delivering the stable release on June 28. As promised, the company started pushing the stable update yesterday.

According to the official announcement posts on Oppo Community, the ColorOS 12 stable update based on Android 12 for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom is currently available in China and India. Whereas, the same update for Oppo Reno Ace is limited to China as the device did not make its way to international markets.

It is worth noting that the update is also live for the special editions of these handsets, such as Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition (customized Reno 10x Zoom) and Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition.

As usual, the OTA software update is being pushed in batches. Therefore, it will take some time to reach all units. But every user should get access to the update in the coming days, including those in other regions as well. 

The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace debuted with Android 9.0 Pie-based ColorOS 6. Hence, ColorOS 12 based on Android 12 is their third as well as the last major software update. They are Oppo’s first smartphones to receive three Android updates.

Oppo has almost finished rolling out the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update for eligible smartphones worldwide. The devices that are left are either budget models or very old flagships. The Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace come under the latter category. Users of these two phones can finally try Android 12 via a beta program.

According to schedules (China and global) shared by Oppo earlier this month, the ColorOS 12 beta initiative based on Android 12 for Oppo Reno 10x Zoom and Oppo Reno Ace is supposed today (May 17). However, the company had already opened registrations yesterday (May 16) and the window closes today itself for the first batch.

The beta program is also applicable to the special edition models. Hence, even users of Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition (customized Reno 10x Zoom) and Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition can apply for Android 12 beta testing.

The only requirement is that the users should be on the following firmware builds.

• Oppo Reno 10x Zoom

  • China – F.12
  • India – F.49

• Oppo Reno Ace

  • China – F.12

All they have to do is navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon >  Apply for Beta version > Update Beta Version and follow on-screen instructions. Selected applicants will receive the beta software via OTA.

There’s no official word on the release date of the stable update yet. However, we can expect it to arrive in a month or two.

Having said that, Android 12 is the third and the last major software update for the aforementioned smartphones. They are the first-gen Oppo smartphones to receive three Android updates.

Recruitment for the ColorOS 12 closed beta program has started for the OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom in China, hinting at an imminent global update rollout for the duo.

With a post on the community forums, OPPO announced that OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom can now apply to receive the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 update before everyone else as part of the internal testing. Of course, updates rolled out through the internal testing channel may be plagued with deal-breaking bugs so it’s advised to only apply from a device that’s not your primary one.

OPPO warns that testers may run into bugs, abnormal power consumption, and app compatibility issues, so it’s advisable to not apply if you’re looking for a stable experience right now.

The recruitment already commenced on March 28 and will last until March 29, 18:00 CST so you’d want to hurry. To apply, head over to Settings > Software Update > Click the settings icon on the screen > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version. Just make sure you’ve updated to the latest ColorOS 11 stable build (firmware version F.11/F.12) beforehand.

Now that ColorOS 12 is available as closed betas for the OPPO Reno Ace and Reno 10x Zoom in China, a global rollout shouldn’t take much longer. Of course, there will be a beta program first, starting with China which will then expand to more regions, so sit tight.

OPPO shared the Q1 2021 rollout plan for the ColorOS 11 update a few months ago. As per the plan, the OPPO Reno Ace was supposed to get it around March, and accordingly, it looks like the update is already rolling out.

A tweet shared by a user a few days ago shows that the device has already got the update in Japan. That is, an OTA update with firmware version PCLM10_11_F.04 brings the Android 11 based ColorOS 11.1 for the OPPO Reno Ace.

OPPO brought the Reno Ace towards the end of 2019 in China and it launched with ColoroS 6.1 based on Android 9 Pie. Later, the device also landed on other markets including Japan. The current ColorOS 11 update for the 2019 flagship smartphone is coming as a second major upgrade after it got the ColorOS 7.

That said, OPPO’s latest version of ColorOS is actually the ColorOS 11.2 and it is running on its top-of-the-line flagships like Find X3 series and its sister brand OnePlus in China. Although OPPO isn’t seeding the latest version to the Reno Ace, it has managed to stand the test of the time when it comes to updating its older devices.

As promised, it has been sharing monthly schedule plans for the update rollout and the latest one for March 2021 indicates how committed the company is. So far, it has rolled out the Android 11 update to devices like OPPO Find X2 Lite, Find X2 Neo, F15, Reno 2F, Reno 10x Zoom as of this month.

Coming back to the update, you can expect all the ColorOS 11 goodies and if you want to know more, do read our coverage on the same. Also, expect the wider rollout for the device to go live soon.

Oppo announced ColorOS 7 in November of 2019 but unfortunately, the company has only now started to roll out stable updates to the first batch of devices in China. Currently, six devices are receiving the update. Hopefully, the brand will seed out the ColorOS 7 stable update to more devices in the coming days.

The handsets that are currently receiving the ColorOS 7 stable update are as follow.

• Oppo Reno
• Oppo Reno FC Barcelona Edition
• Oppo Reno Inspiration Edition
• Oppo Reno 10x Zoom Edition
• Oppo Reno Ace
• Oppo Reno Ace Gundam Edition

As you can see from the list above, only the premium and a couple of mid-rangers are being treated with ColorOS 7, which itself is about 5 months old now. Even, the company has now moved on to ColorOS 7.1, which debuted on the recently launched Oppo Find X2 and Find X2 Pro.

Oppo has failed in updating its devices on time and the company claims coronavirus outbreak to be the cause for it. However, the company did manage to roll out beta updates to a number of eligible devices.

The above-mentioned devices were supposed to get early adopter as well as stable updates in Q1. But, the early adopter program was postponed from January to March in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis and thus the stable updates are being released now in Q2.

Vivo X30 Pro is official as the world’s first phone with the world’s first chipset sporting an integrated 5G modem. Besides this revolution, the handset is also camera-centric and it sports an amazing camera setup. With the X30 Pro, Vivo launched a very performing device without an expensive price, unlike most of the best flagships out there. That is why we decided to compare it with other flagship killers which are catalyzing the public’s attention in the Asian market. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace are the perfect candidates for this comparison, at least in regard to the Chinese market.

Vivo X30 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro vs Oppo Reno Ace

Design

Vivo X30 Pro is a device with a more advanced design, or at least it has that trending punch-hole display everyone is looking for. Thanks to a front camera placed in a hole inside the display, the phone does not need a notch to provide a high screen-to-body ratio. Both its rivals come with a notch, but this does not mean that they do not offer an amazing design. The Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is very attractive with its edge-to-edge curved display, while the Oppo Reno Ace has a suggestive glass back. But Vivo X30 Pro is definitely more stylish, at least in my opinion.

Display

Despite it does not have a trendy punch-hole screen, Oppo Reno Ace wins the display comparison because it sports a better panel. It has a very accurate image reproduction thanks to the HDR technology and the full DCI P3 coverage. Further, it provides a 90 Hz refresh rate for smoother user experience. Oppo Reno Ace has the best display, but its rivals still come with awesome panels. The Vivo X30 Pro and the Mi CC9 Pro have a higher brightness as well as the HDR support, but they lack the 90 Hz refresh rate, just like the Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro.

Hardware/Software

Here Oppo Reno Ace takes another gold medal. Thanks to its Snapdragon 855+ chipset, it is one of the most performing smartphones out there. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 native storage up to 256 GB. There are only a few smartphones in the whole market that can compete with the Oppo Reno Ace. Right after, we got the Vivo X30 Pro with its Exynos 980. It is a high-end chipset which sits in the middle between Snapdragon 855+ and the Snapdragon 730G found on the Xiaomi Mi Cc9 Pro. Further, while Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has just 6 GB of RAM, Vivo X30 Pro offers up to 12 GB of RAM. Note that Oppo Reno Ace and Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro do not support 5G, while Vivo X30 Pro is the only which does. In each case, you get a highly-customized version of Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Camera

On the camera side, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro is definitely more impressive with its 108 MP main sensor and it is one of the best camera phones you can actually get in the Android world. But even the Vivo X30 Pro is awesome at taking photos thanks to its OIS-enabled 64 MP sensor, a 32 MP portrait lens and even a 60x zoom. Oppo Reno Ace is less convincing, but it is still a pretty nice camera phone.

Battery

There is no story: Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro’s battery makes it last a lot longer on a single charge. Right after there is Vivo X30 Pro with a 4350 mAh battery, while Oppo Reno Ace has just 4000 mAh but supports a much faster charging technology with a max power of 65W (the fastest charging technology in the market).

Price

Vivo X30 Pro carries a €510/$567 starting price, Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro costs less than €360/$400, and Oppo Reno Ace starts from about €494/$549. There is not a clear winner on every side: you should go for the Oppo Reno Ace if you are more interested in performance and display, while if you need high-end performance, 5G and a great camera Vivo X30 Pro is better. Xiaomi Mi CC9 Pro has a midrange chipset, but it offers the best camera and the biggest battery. Which one would you pick?

A couple of days back, we reported that OPPO Reno & Reno Ace Early Adopters program had kicked off in China. Today, those who signed up for the early adopter program are getting the first ColorOS 7 update. Devices from the Reno & Reno Ace series are receiving the update today.

OPPO Reno, Reno 10X Zoom edition, Reno Barcelona Edition, Reno Ace, and Reno Ace Gundam Edition (make sure to check out our hands-on with the Gundam edition here!) have started receiving the new ColorOS 7 beta update. Note that this update will roll out only to those users who have signed up for the early adopter program. Other OPPO models will get the ColorOS 7 update in the coming weeks. You can check out the update schedule here.

Earlier today, CEO Madhav Sheth also revealed the ColorOS 7 update schedule based on Android 10 for Realme devices. Given that Realme phones will run on a slightly customized ColorOS 7 version, the timelines are a bit delayed. The update will kick off from Q1 2020. The Realme 3 Pro and Realme XT will be the first to get the Android 10 update in January 2020. The Realme X and Realme 5 Pro will join the Android 10 party in February while the Realme X2 Pro is scheduled to get its own OTA update in March. Expect more details on ColorOS 7 India and international release schedule at tomorrow’s special event.

Thanks to Chinese smartphone manufacturers such as Oppo and Vivo, high-end smartphones became every day more affordable. Both the companies released some flagship killers in the last period and we think it is very interesting to compare their specifications in order to let the potential buyers know which one is the perfect one for their needs and their pockets. Oppo released two similar affordable flagships recently: the Oppo Reno Ace and the Realme X2 Pro under its sub-brand. Vivo came up with the iQOO Neo 855, an upgraded version of the iQOO Neo with higher performance but a still amazing price tag. Here is a complete specs comparison between them.

Oppo Realme X2 Pro vs OnePlus 7T vs Oppo Reno 2

Design

I feel like the Oppo Reno Ace has a slightly more attractive design due to more attention to details and better build quality. Unlike the Realme X2 Pro and the Vivo iQOO Neo, its front panel is protected by Gorilla Glass 6. I am not a fan of that Realme logo which Oppo’s sub-brand put on the upper part of the rear side, but a lot of people like it for the originality. Due to its plastic frame, Vivo iQOO Neo 855 is an inferior choice, but it is still an elegant and good looking phone.

Display

Despite its affordable price even in the global market, the Realme X2 Pro features the best display and it is even a flagship-grade panel. The only thing missing is the Quad HD+ resolution since it is a Full HD+ panel. But it is a Super AMOLED display with a high 90 Hz refresh rate, the support to the advanced HDR10+ standard, a full DCI P3 coverage and even a very high 1000 nits max brightness. Realme X2 Pro features a wide 6.5-inch screen as well as powerful stereo speakers with the support to Dolby Atmos. In the second place, there is the Oppo Reno Ace: it still features a 90 Hz refresh rate and a full DCI P3 coverage, but it does not support HDR10+ (just HDR) and its peak brightness is lower. Vivo iQOO Neo has an HDR10 display but it lacks the 90 Hz refresh rate and the 100 percent DCI P3 coverage.

Hardware/Software

Oppo Reno Ace and Realme X2 Pro feature a better hardware department than the Vivo iQOO Neo 855 since they are fueled by a better Snapdragon 855+ which offers up to 15 percent higher graphics performance as well as a high clock frequency (2.96 GHz vs 2.84 GHz) compared to the Snapdragon 855. In their most expensive configurations, Oppo Reno Ace and Realme X2 Pro have exactly the same hardware department as well as the same custom user interface (Color OS 6.1 based on Android 9 Pie). So the performance level is very similar.

Camera

When it comes to cameras, the clear winner is the Oppo Reno Ace since it features better sensors as well as optical stabilization. Its main sensor is a great Sony 48 MP lens with a bright f/1.7 aperture, and there is also a 13 MP telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom. Right after, we find the Realme X2 Pro with a 64 MP quad camera but without OIS, and with a midrange Samsung sensor.

Battery

Vivo iQOO Neo wins the battery life comparison simply because it features a bigger battery, with a capacity of 4500 mAh. On the other hand, Oppo Reno Ace has the fastest charging technology as it can reach 100 percent of battery charge in just 30 minutes.

Price

Oppo Reno Ace starts from about $478/$428 in Asia, Realme X2 Pro costs €399/$445 globally, and Vivo iQOO Neo 855 starts from €260/$290 in China. The winner of the comparison is the Oppo Reno Ace due to its better camera capabilities and a faster charging technology, even though Realme X2 Pro has a better display.

Earlier this month, Chinese smartphone maker, Oppo launched its latest flagship smartphone in its home country. Dubbed the Oppo Reno Ace, its highlighting features include 65W fast charging support, Snapdragon 855+ chipset and a 90 Hz 6.5 inch AMOLED display.

In addition to the standard device, the company also lifted covers off its “Gundam Edition” variant and Unicorn Gamepad C1, both of which will be available for purchase starting 11th November. However, their reservations have already started. The Chinese manufacturer has now registered the required trademark in Europe and the UK for these devices which suggests they will soon launch in these regions.

The Gamepad C1 Unicorn makes use of Bluetooth 5.0 to connect to the smartphone. As the images exhibit, it features a four-way joystick, four circular buttons and two shoulder buttons. The gaming accessory has an extendable design and it is capable of accommodating smartphones ranging between 110 and 160 mm in length.

The Gamepad C1 Unicorn from Oppo has a textured region for holding the phone which will prevent the device’s glass back from getting scratched. Another highlighting feature of the gamepad is it built-in 4D linear vibration motor which will provide for an immersive gaming experience by giving haptic feedback.

The controller, at the time of launch, will only be compatible with the Oppo Reno Ace but more Oppo models will be added in the future. Surprisingly, it also supports iOS 10 or higher, therefore, iPhone owners can also experience a similar gaming experience. The compatibility for Android devices except for Oppo will also be extended soon.

The Gamepad C1 Unicorn supports has quick charge mode, due to which, 5 minutes of charging can provide upto 3 hours of gaming time. To fully replenish the built-in battery, it will take 3 hours with 40 hours of playtime. As previously mentioned, it will be available for purchase starting 11 November at a price of Yuan 300.

Vivo released a new affordable flagship: its name is iQOO Neo 855 and it is an upgraded version of the existing iQOO Neo with a better chipset. It just hitten the Chinese market, so we think it is time to compare it with other affordable flagships that hitten the shelves in this period. At a slightly higher price, you can currently grab a unit of the Oppo Reno Ace or the Realme X2 Pro. But is it worth spending a bit more for these Oppo devices or you’d better go for the new Vivo’s flagship? This comparison will clear all your ideas about the matter.

Vivo iQOO Neo 855 vs Oppo Reno Ace vs Oppo Realme X2 Pro

Design

Unlike other smartphones from Oppo and Vivo, these ones are not focused on innovative designs. All of them come with a standard waterdrop display, just like most of the mid-rangers. And they come with back glass and a metal frame, so they have premium materials. I personally prefer the Oppo Reno Ace, but it is just a matter of taste. It has more attractive colors and I do not like so much the position of the Realme logo on the X2 Pro. Some may like the Vivo iQOO Neo 855 more due to the fact that it has a triple camera instead of a quad camera, making the rear design cleaner.

Display

Realme X2 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace have the most advanced display since, unlike the Vivo iQOO Neo 855, they both support a 90 Hz refresh rate as well as full DCI-P3 coverage. Between Realme X2 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace, the former wins because it comes with the support to the HDR10+ technology making the overall quality higher. Further, it has a higher peak brightness with up to 1000 nits. Note that both Oppo Reno Ace and Realme X2 Pro boast stereo speakers, so they even provide a better audio experience.

Hardware/Software

All of these devices are perfect phones for gaming and advanced users since they are equipped with flagship-class chipsets. Vivo iQOO Neo has a Snapdragon 855 SoC as well as an advanced cooling system and gaming-centric features able to enhance the GPU and CPU performance. Realme X2 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace sport an even better SoC, the best one by Qualcomm. We are talking about the Snapdragon 855+ offering up to 15 percent higher graphics performance and a higher clock frequency. Both come with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage, but you cannot expand it. And both come with Color OS based on Android 9 Pie. Oppo Reno Ace and Realme X2 Pro have more or less the same performance level.

Camera

Vivo iQOO Neo 855 and Realme X2 Pro lack a flagship-class camera department. Despite Realme X2 Pro has a 64 MP main sensor, it is still a midrange camera phone. The best one is definitely the Oppo Reno Ace with its 48 MP main sensor supporting OIS and a very bright focal aperture. The phone even features 2x optical zoom and an ultrawide lens, as well as a monochromatic 2 MP sensor. Vivo iQOO Neo 855 is inferior with its 12 MP triple camera, you should go for the Reno Ace without thinking twice.

Battery

Vivo iQOO Neo 855 has the biggest battery and, with its 4500 mAh capacity, it should last more. We are still not sure of it since we did not test it as it debuted today, but it will likely provide a longer battery life most of the time. However, its charging technology is much slower if compared with its rivals. With a 65W power, Oppo Reno Ace has one of the fastest charging technologies out there. Even Realme X2 Pro is fast to fully charge: it takes just 35 minutes, but it has a 50W power. You can fully charge the Oppo Reno Ace in just 30 minutes, so there is no challenge. We believe there will be only marginal differences between the battery life of the Oppo Reno Ace and the Realme X2 Pro.

Vivo iQOO Neo 855 just debuted in China: it will be available starting from October 31 and pre-orders already started. Its base price is just €255/$282, while the Realme X2 Pro will debut in the global market in November with a €399/$422 starting price. Last but not least, Oppo Reno Ace starts from €380/$421 in the Chinese market. Due to its better camera, high performance and faster charging technology, Oppo Reno Ace should be the most suitable device for most of the users, but do not forget that Realme X2 Pro has a higher peak brightness and a better display quality.

Earlier this year, along with the OPPO Reno Ace flagship smartphone, the company had also announced a limited-edition OPPO Reno Ace Gundam Edition. Today, the company has started the first phase of pre-orders for the smartphone.

The company has revealed that it will be taking pre-orders for the smartphone on three days — 21st October, 28th October, and 4th November. The device is scheduled to go on sale in China on 11th November — the day Singles’ Day sales take place. The device can be pre-orders from OPPO’s official store, JD.com, Tmall, and Suning.

The OPPO Reno Ace Gundam Edition has been announced by the company to celebrate the company’s 40 year anniversary. It has a special appeal, thanks to the customised design and also comes along with some customised accessories. OPPO has said that it will be selling only 30,000 units of the smartphone.

Apart from the design and memory configuration, almost everything else remains the same in terms of specifications. The phone features a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display with 20:9 aspect ratio, 1080 x 2400 pixels screen resolution, and 90Hz refresh rate. It also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core processor along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.0 internal storage. The company says that there’s a heat dissipation pipe for regulating its internal temperature.

On the back side, the phone comes with a Sony IMX586 48-megapixel main lens with f/1.8 aperture, a 13-megapixel telephoto lens with support for 5x hybrid zoom, an ultrawide lens of 8-megapixel and a macro lens of 2-megapixel. There is a selfie camera of 16-megapixel inside the front notch of the smartphone.

The device is fuelled by a 4,000mAh battery which comes with 65W SuperVOOC Flash Charge technology, which is currently the fastest charging technology. It takes only 30 minutes to completely charge the device and by charging it only for 5 minutes, the battery can gain 27 percent power.

All the most important Chinese manufacturers announced at least one top-tier flagship during the last month. OnePlus just came up with the 7T series, while Xiaomi unveiled the Mi 9 Pro and the concept phone Mi Mix Alpha. Just two days ago, Oppo announced the third flagship from its new Reno line-up: the Reno Ace. There are so many devices that we think it is worth making things clear by comparing their specifications by basing on their price tags. Here, we compared OnePlus 7T with Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro and Oppo Reno Ace in order to establish which one is the flagship with the highest value for money.

OnePlus 7T vs Oppo Reno Ace vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro

Design

None of these devices offers the most innovative design. They are classic smartphones with waterdrop display, yet they offer premium materials and a high screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro is my favorite one due to its more compact size and its cleaner glass back accompanied by a 7000 series aluminum frame. I do not like the big round-shaped camera module of the OnePlus 7T as it makes its rear design less minimalistic, but it is definitely more original. Oppo Reno Ace is a beautiful device as well and some may prefer it due to the amazing light effects of its back cover.

Display

Despite it does not reach the level of the OnePlus 7T Pro, the display of the OnePlus 7T is astonishing and it is the best panel in this comparison, at least judging from the specs on the paper. Just like the Oppo Reno Ace, it boasts a high 90 Hz refresh rate, but it should be able to show richer colors and a better image reproduction thanks to the HDR10+ technology, especially with multimedia content. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro loses the comparison because it lacks the 90 Hz refresh rate, while Oppo Reno Ace sits in the middle.

Hardware/Software

Given that all of these handsets are fueled by the top-tier Snapdragon 855+ chipset by Qualcomm, you should not notice important differences when it comes to their performance. In the most expensive configuration, Oppo Reno Ace should be the fastest one due to its higher memory configuration with up to 12 GB of RAM. But OnePlus 7T may have better software optimization. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro offers more internal storage (up to 512 GB), but it is not UFS 3.0 storage, unlike OnePlus 7T and Oppo Reno Ace. Note that the Mi 9 Pro is the only one with a 5G variant.

Camera

If we consider the specs on the paper, OnePlus 7T is a more convincing camera phone due to its brighter focal aperture and overall better sensors, but Oppo Reno Ace has an additional monochromatic sensor that is not present on the OnePlus 7T and increases the camera versatility. Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro is the only to lack OIS and it has an inferior camera setup. We will be able to tell you more once we personally tested all of these devices.

Battery

Oppo Reno Ace and Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro have a bigger battery than OnePlus 7T and we believe they will last more on a single charge. At the moment, we can not tell you which one has the longest battery life. But we can tell you that Oppo Reno Ace has the fastest charging technology (65W) while the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro features fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging (unlike Oppo Reno Ace).

Price

Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro starts from about €471/$520 in its 5G version, Oppo Reno Ace starts from just €380/$420 in China, and OnePlus 7T costs €600/$600 globally, in its base variant. There is not a clear winner of this comparison: it mostly depends on your needs. If you want the best display, amazing performances, and an amazing camera, go for the OnePlus 7T. If you need wireless and reverse wireless charging, as well as the most compact body, choose the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro. If you want the highest value for money, then Oppo Reno Ace is a better option.

The post OPPO Reno Ace price leak appears ahead of tomorrow’s launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

In just two days, Oppo will finally release its first 2019 flagship smartphone after the Reno 10x zoom. It will still belong to the Reno series and its name will be Reno Ace. In terms of aesthetics, it will be less futuristic, but it will supposedly carry a more interesting price tag. Thanks to leaks surfaced in the last weeks, we know almost everything about the new flagship ahead of the launch. Here is all you need to know about its specifications, launch, availability, and price.

Oppo Reno Ace Specifications

Design

Oppo Reno Ace will boast a premium and elegant design, but it will not be aesthetically innovative like its siblings Reno and Reno 10x zoom. It will sport a classic bezel-less display with a thicker lower bezel and a waterdrop notch, a glass back available in gradient colors and an aluminum frame. Nothing more and nothing less than a typical high-end device. It will have a power button on the right side and two volume buttons on the left. The rear cover will house a quad camera module and a dual LED flash. There will be at least two color variants: Electroacoustic Violet and Interstellar Blue. According to Oppo’s VP Shen Yiren (implicit) declarations, Reno Ace will also be launched in a special GUNDAM edition.

Display

The Oppo Reno Ace will come with an exciting new feature borrowed from OnePlus 7 Pro: a 90 Hz refresh rate for the display, which will provide a smoother viewing experience and will be useful especially for gamers. There should even be a 135 Hz touch sampling rate for a more responsive touch screen. The display of the Oppo Reno Ace will sport a 6.5-inch diagonal and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. It will be an AMOLED panel and it will integrate an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Hardware & Software

Oppo Reno Ace will be powered by the most powerful Qualcomm’s chipset: the Snapdragon 855+. It offers 15 percent better graphics performance compared with its predecessor Snapdragon 855 as well as a higher clock frequency: 2.96 GHz against 2.84 GHz. The SoC will be paired with up to 12 GB of RAM depending on the memory configuration and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 native storage. It will be possible to furtherly expand the internal storage through a micro SD. Given the current software development of the Chinese company, the Reno Ace may still be based on Android 9 Pie, customized by ColorOS 6.1. But the company is currently working hard to develop ColorOS 7 based on Android 10, so an update may hit the handset soon. The handset was recently spotted on TENAA, so you can learn more here.

Camera

As mentioned above, the rear camera department of the Oppo Reno Ace will include four sensors. The main sensor will be a Sony IMX586 with a 48 MP resolution, optical stabilization and an f/1.7 aperture, then there will be a 13 MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 focal aperture. The third sensor will be an 8 MP ultrawide lens with f/2.2 aperture, while the fourth and last one will be a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front side, there will be a 16 Megapixel snapper selfies carrying an f/2.0 aperture.

Battery

Oppo Reno Ace is expected to be equipped with a satisfying 4000 mAh battery which will support a very fast charging technology. We are talking about the Super VOOC flash charge with a power of 65W. Thanks to this technology that is one of the most advanced ones, the Oppo Reno Ace will fully charge in just around 25 minutes. The 65W fast charging technology would currently be the higher on the market, given that the fastest one is actually the 44W fast charging technology found on the Vivo NEX 3. Indeed, despite Vivo and Xiaomi already announced an astonishing 120W fast charging technology, it is still not in mass production.

Unfortunately, we do not have any info about pricing, but given its specifications, we believe it will carry a very interesting price tag, just like the Realme X2 Pro.

OPPO has already confirmed that the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone — OPPO Reno Ace, will go official in its home country China on 10th October. Further, the company has also revealed that it will come with 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging support.

Today, the company has taken to Weibo to reveal more details about its 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging technology. In the teaser video, OPPO claims that this new fast charging technology can fully charge the upcoming Reno Ace smartphone in just around 25 minutes.

The 65W fast charging support for the Reno Ace is much higher than what the competition is currently offering.
