The recent reports have confusing information on the OPPO Reno series. Hopefully, leaked details surfaced in the next few days may reveal clearer information on the Oppo Reno variants.

The post OPPO Reno rumor roundup: Specifications, variants, launch event and livestream details appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, two OPPO devices with model numbers PCAT10 and PCAM10 were seen on TENAA’s website. The two phones are believed to be the OPPO Reno Lite which will come with an Helio P70 chipset. When they were listed last week, there were no images. TENAA has now updated the listing, thereby giving us an early look at the design.

The OPPO Reno Lite has a large 6.5-inch display. We brightened up the photo of the front and was able to see it has a notch for the selfie camera. The rear of the device is home to dual cameras (16MP + 2MP) positioned in the middle of the device and stacked on top of each other. There is an LED flash below the sensors while a fingerprint scanner comes next.

The Reno Lite will not only be missing out on the pop-up selfie camera action. It will also not have an in-display fingerprint scanner. Nevertheless, it should be the cheapest model.

TENAA has also updated the memory configuration of the phone. Now both the PCAT10 and PCAM10 network variants will come in 4GB RAM + 64GB and 6GB RAM + 128GB versions. The listing says the phone will come in black but the images are of a blue-green variant.

The post TENAA updates OPPO Reno Lite (PCAT10 and PCAM10) listing with images appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OPPO Reno was initially reported to come in two main variants – a Snapdragon 710 version and a Snapdragon 855 version. However, a trademark application filed at the European Union Intellectual Property Office a few weeks ago revealed the Reno will have five versions. One of them is the Reno Lite which has now been spotted on TENAA, complete with full specs.

The Reno Lite with model numbers PCAT10 and PCAM10 has a 6.5-inch display with a 1080 x 2340 resolution. It is powered by a 2.1GHz octa-core processor said to be MediaTek’s Helio P70 chipset. The PCAM10 version has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage while the PCAT10 version will come in 4GB and 6GB variants with 128GB of storage. There is support for storage expansion (256GB max.).

There are three cameras in total on the device – dual 16MP + 2MP sensors on the rear and another 16MP selfie camera. There are no images yet, so we can’t confirm if it is a pop-up selfie camera like that of its siblings.

TENAA says the phone has a fingerprint scanner but since there are no images, we don’t know its position. Anyway, since this is a lite version, we expect a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

The Reno Lite has a 3,910mAh battery and runs Android 9 Pie. It measures 162 x 76.1 x 8.3 millimeters, weighs 190 grams and will be available in black. Once TENAA updates the listing with images, we will update the post.
