Last week, reported that OPPO had finished the ColorOS 12 stable rollout for January 2022. However, just a few days later, the company has proved us wrong. Because it has now started rolling out the update for two more devices that weren’t supposed to receive it this month. These phones got access to beta builds ahead of Christmas.

OPPO has begun to seed the Android 12-based ColorOS 12 stable update for OPPO Reno5 and OPPO Reno6. The OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition also gets access to the new software at the same time. It is being pushed with the following firmware versions in Indonesia.

OPPO Reno5, OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition

• Region: Indonesia
• Firmware Version: C.08
• Required Firmware: A.28, A.29

OPPO Reno6

• Region: Indonesia
• Firmware Version: C.08
• Required Firmware: A.10, A.11

In order to check whether their unit has got the update, users of the aforementioned smartphones can head over to Settings > Software Update.

Since the latest software update for the phone is being sent via OTA, it may take some time to reach every user. For the uninitiated, OTA rollout is usually carried out in a batched manner, so that the company can pull back the update easily without affecting many users in case of any major bug.

Having said that, if you happen to have installed the update on your OPPO handset, then do let us know your experience in the section below. This may help users who haven’t got it.

After releasing Android 12-based ColorOS 12 beta builds for expensive and newer phones, OPPO has now turned its focus to older and less-expensive devices for the same purpose.

According to official announcement posts on OPPO Community, the beta registrations are currently live for the following smartphones.

• OPPO Reno6

  • Region: Indonesia
  • Firmware Required: A.10

• OPPO Reno5, OPPO Reno5 Marvel Edition

  • Region: Indonesia

In order to enroll in the program, users will have to go to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon > Apply for Beta Version > Update Beta Version and follow the on-screen instructions. The company is only recruiting only 5,000 testers for a single phone in each region for the first batch.

Selected applicants will receive the ColorOS 12 beta update via OTA within 3 days from the selection. Those who don’t get recruited will get a chance in the next batch.

Unfortunately, OPPO is not known for revealing the stable release timeline for its software. However, going by the current pace of ColorOS 12 stable rollout, these handsets could get access to stable builds as early as late January 2022.

OPPO has launched several phones under the Reno5 series so far. We have devices like the recently launched Reno5 K, Reno5 Z, and others like the Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G, Reno5 4G, and Reno5 Lite 4G. Now, renowned leaker Evan Blass has shared renders of yet another device called the Reno5 A.

The renders shared by Evan on Voice shows OPPO Reno5 A in two colors. The front of the device has a display with a single punch-hole for a selfie camera at the top left. This isn’t surprising considering the majority of the Reno5 series has boasted the selfie camera at a similar position.

Moving on, the rear of the device shows a quad-camera layout. The layout itself is slimmer like the Reno5 K but has a design inspired by the likes of Reno5 Z. The difference we see here is that it doesn’t have a separate AI logo, and has camera details written between the fourth sensor and LED flash.

The rear also has a physical fingerprint sensor which is surprising, to say the least. Rounding up the buttons that are visible, we have a Power button on the right and volume buttons to the left.

As for the specs, the camera layout shows that it will have a 64MP primary sensor. Further, the device is said to feature a 6.5-inch display which could be an LCD panel but let’s wait for official info on the same.

Apart from this, we don’t have much information on the Reno5 A, which is said to be codenamed “Ciri” internally. Considering the high-quality renders are out now, the launch could happen anytime soon.

Last week, OPPO revealed that it will be launching the OPPO Reno5 series in Kenya. As expected, the handsets are now official in the country. The Chinese smartphone maker has announced two models for the country, namely OPPO Reno5 and OPPO Reno5 F. The former is a known phone, whereas the latter has made its global debut in Kenya, which is interesting.

OPPO Reno5 F Specifications, Features, and Price

The OPPO Reno5 F is the latest model in the Reno5 series of smartphones. The company is known for debuting new models first in Asian countries. But for the first time, OPPO has made a global debut of its device in Africa, Kenya to be exact.

Unfortunately, the brand has not revealed the entire specs of this handset. Because the phone will go on sale a month later on March 22. But interested customers can pre-order it from February 23 to March 21.

Pre-ordering customers will get a couple of freebies like OPPO Enco W11 TWS and a 6-month screen protection plan. Above all, the OPPO Reno5 F is priced at KSh 31,999 ($292).

Talking about specifications, the device flaunts a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a punch-hole at the top left corner nesting a 32MP selfie camera. There’s no info on the chipset but the smartphone is said to come with 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.

The backside of the phone sports a new design with a quad-camera setup, shiny finish, and OPPO branding. This camera array includes a 48 primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, a 2MP monochrome sensor for portraits, and a 2MP macro snapper.

Further, the device runs ColorOS 11.1 based on Android 11 and is backed by a  4,310mAh battery with support for 30W VOOC Flash Charge 4.0 proprietary fast charging protocol.

Last but not least, the OPPO Reno5 F comes in two colors, namely Fluid Black and Fantastic Purple.

OPPO Reno5 Kenya Price

On the other hand, the OPPO Reno5 is the same device that debuted in the SEA region in late December. It arrives in two colors (Starry Black, Fantasy Silver) and costs KSh 41,999 ($383).

This handset will be also available for pre-order starting tomorrow (February 23) but only till March 1. Because unlike the Reno5 F, the regular Reno5 will go on sale on March 2 itself.

As far as freebies are concerned, customers who pre-order this smartphone offline will be getting a unit of OPPO Enco W11 TWS, OPPO I’m Reno Backpack, and a 6-month screen protection plan. Whereas, online pre-orders include an unnamed Bluetooth speaker instead of the screen protection plan,

A couple of weeks ago, OPPO launched its next-generation Reno5 series smartphones in the Chinese market, which includes three models — Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, and Reno5 Pro+ 5G. Now, the company has officially launched a 4G model in the lineup.

The company has today launched the OPPO Reno5 4G in Vietnam for the price of 8,690,000 Vietnamese Dong which is approximately $377. Now, the company is also set to launch the same smartphone in Indonesia on 12th January.

The smartphone features a 6.4-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ screen resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz. The phone also comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor for added security.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset given that is limited to 4G LTE connectivity. It packs 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for expanding the storage capacity.

In the camera department, the phone comes with a quad-camera setup on the back, featuring a 44-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel superwide lens, as 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor. On the front side, there’s a 44-megapixel selfie snapper.

Similar to the 5G model, the OPPO Reno5 4G runs the latest Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own ColorOS 11.1 on top. The phone is powered by a 4,310mAh battery which comes with support for the first-gen 50W SuperVOOC fast charging technology.

Meanwhile, OPPO is also expected to launch the Reno5 5G series smartphones globally in the coming weeks. While the Reno5 Pro 5G packs MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ SoC in China, it is expected to be powered by the SD765G SoC for the global markets.

The OPPO Reno5 series hitten the shelves in three amazing variants: OPPO Reno 5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. The phones actually range from the mid-end segment to the top-tier flagship and this is one of the main reasons why this line-up is so interesting. But for those who are not experts, looking at the specifications of these similar handsets might create a bit of confusion. This is the reason why we decided to make a specs comparison between all the variants of the Reno5 series released until now. There will be other versions of the lineup and we will publish other comparisons once they are out.

OPPO Reno5 5G vs OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G vs OPPO Reno5 Pro+ 5G

Design

The best design is definitely the one of the OPPO Reno5 Pro+. The handset went in commerce in China with an amazing electrochromic rear side. It is the first commercial phone with a body able to change its color with a simple double tap. This makes the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ one of the most impressive handsets out there in terms of design. Right after, we got the OPPO Reno5 Pro boasting the same design as the Reno5 Pro+, but without an electrochromic back. The Reno5 looks uglier because it has a flat display, but several users prefer a flat screen over a curved one.

Display

The displays of OPPO Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+ come with similar specifications. The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ has a slightly better panel with higher brightness, but we do not recommend to choose the handset by basing on the display quality only. You would better focus on the rest of the specs sheet, where you will find more important differences. OPPO Reno5 has a flat display, while OPPO Reno5 Pro and Pro+ boast curved screens at the sides. In each case, you get an in-display fingerprint reader.

Specs & Software

The most important differences between these three handsets lay in the hardware department. The OPPO Reno5 is an upper-midrange phone as it is powered by the Snapdragon 765G mobile platform. The OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G is a flagship as it boasts a Dimensity 1000+ that is actually the best MediaTek chipset. The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is a top-tier flagship fueled by the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. All the phones are based on Android 11, customized by the ColorOS 11. Naturally, the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is the winner of the hardware comparison. The software is the same on each phone.

Camera

OPPO Reno5 and Reno5 Pro 5G share the same midrange-class camera department. They come with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. On the other hand, OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is a real flagship camera phone: it is the first with the amazing 50 MP Sony IMX766 sensor, it has OIS, a 13 MP telephoto sensor, a 16 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP dedicated macro camera. All of these phones feature a 32 MP front camera for selfies.

Battery

Besides having a better camera department, the OPPO Reno5 Pro+ has the biggest battery. With its 4500 mAh capacity, it is able to last more than OPPO Reno5 and Reno5 Pro 5G on a single charge. But the difference is not huge compared to the other variants. With the OPPO Reno5 and Reno5 Pro, you still get good 4300 and 4350 mAh batteries. Each phone supports 65W fast charging technology (SuperVOOC 2.0).

Price

The starting price of the OPPO Reno5 in China is about €340/$415, OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G starts from €430/$525, and OPPO Reno5 Pro+ 5G begins at €565/$690. OPPO Reno5 Pro+ is obviously the best, it is a way better phone thanks to its hardware and amazing camera department. But it will probably remain a China-exclusive. The OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G offers the best quality-price ratio.

The list has names from biggies like Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung, OPPO, Vivo, and more. As always we have included few devices that are speculated to arrive this month at the end.

OPPO Reno5 series

Perhaps, the next big launch in China would be the Reno5 series of smartphones. It is rumored to launch on December 10 in China. Anyway, the lineup will likely have three devices- Reno5 5G, Reno5 Pro 5G, Reno5 Pro+ 5G. The entire specs of the device have been leaked ahead of launch.

Reno5 Pro will have similar specs as the Reno5 but a bigger 6.55-inch display, Dimensity 1000+ SoC, and a slightly larger 4,350mAh battery. And as per leaks, the difference between Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ is a bigger 4,500mAh battery, Snapdragon 865 SoC, and rear cameras. Accordingly, it will most likely include a mysterious Sony IMX7xx 50MP lens, 16MP ultra-wide, 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and a 2MP macro sensor.

Lenovo Lemon K12 Series 

After confirming the arrival of Lemon brand smartphones, Lenovo has confirmed that the Lemon K12 series of smartphones will launch on December 9 in China. The devices are likely rebranded Motorola phones from Global markets. Accordingly, the Lenovo K12 Pro will be a rebranded version of Moto G9, while the K12 will be a rebrand of Moto E7.

The Honor V40 series was expected to launch last month. However, a lot happened in December and now Honor is no longer a sub-brand of Huawei.
