At the beginning of this year, Samsung announced the Galaxy S21 FE 5G with Exynos 2100 onboard in India. According to GalaxyClub.nl, the South Korean company is working on a 4G variant of the S21 FE. A support page for the smartphone has gone live on Samsung Netherlands’ website, which indicates that it may not take too long for it to go official.

The SM-G990B model number belongs to the regular Galaxy S21 FE. It has been found that a new variant of the device with the SM-G990B2 model number could be in the works. The support page available on Samsung Netherlands’ site mentions the model number.

In addition, the SM-G990B2 variant has appeared in the database of the Bluetooth SIG certification platform. The listing revealed that the device carries support for Bluetooth 5.2. The publication further revealed that the device has appeared in two Scandinavian online shops. Both listings have mentioned the key specs of the device.

The retailer listing has revealed that the Galaxy S21 FE 4G will be powered by the Snapdragon 720G. The listing also says that it has a 6.4-inch screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, Android 12 OS, a 4,500mAh battery, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage.

For photography, the Galaxy S21 FE 4G may feature a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel + 8-megapixel triple camera unit. Except for the change in the chipset department, the rest of the specs of the S21 FE 4G seem to be identical to its 5G sibling.

It is unclear why Samsung is planning to launch a 4G version of the S21 FE. It appears that the device will be succeeding the Exynos 990 powered Galaxy S20 FE 4G, which was announced back in October 2020.

The IMEI database listing reveals that the upcoming Xiaomi phone with the 2019106A1I model number will be heading to India with the Redmi Note 10 Lite. This model has already received certification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Realme officially started teasing the Realme 8 series with the teaser released yesterday confirming that the realme 8 Pro will pack a 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor. A new leak has now emerged suggesting that the model will be powered by Qualcomm processors.

The realme 8 series will be made up of the realme 8 and realme 8 Pro. According to the leak, the series will also have 4G and 5G versions. The leak also shows that the realme 8 4G will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G chipset. On the other hand, the 8 Pro will pack a Snapdragon 730G processor.

if this turns out to be true, then the realme 8 will feature a significant change in the chipset from its predecessor. To recall, the Realme 7 came with a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset while the 7 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 720G. The realme 7 5G utilizes a Dimensity 800U processor. There is no word yet on the chipset onboard the 5G version. However, Realme recently launched the V15 5G in China with a Dimensity 800U chipset. The Realme 8 5G may therefore use the same processor. The decision to use older processors on the models may not be unconnected to the chip shortage that is bedeviling the industry presently.

We are yet to get any information about the launch date for the realme 8 series but we expect the company to reveal a date soon.

A fresh report by Sammobile reveals that the Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 will be Samsung’s first mid-range phones to arrive with high refresh rate displays.

Samsung has been offering high refresh rate screens mainly on its flagship smartphones. While competitor brands have switched to 90Hz / 120Hz screens for their midrange phones, Samsung’s mid-tier offerings that are available in the market have 60Hz displays. It appears that midrange phones arriving after the A52 and A72 may also feature high refresh rate screens.

According to the report, the Galaxy A52 4G and Galaxy A72 4G that are rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 720G will support 90Hz displays.

It may feature OIS support for the main camera. The Galaxy A52 and Galaxy A72 smartphones are expected to break cover in the coming month.

Yesterday a Samsung device carrying the model number SM-A725F was spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking platform. The device in question had Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G SoC running the show. Today, the same device has reportedly got India’s BIS certification suggesting an imminent launch.

Hence, it will be interesting to see if Samsung follows the same strategy next year. That said, we are also getting reports that the company is planning to bring affordable 5G devices by H2 2021. Anyway, Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything yet which it should have done by now considering the predecessors’ launch timeline.

At the back, they will retain the quad-camera setup as the predecessor, Galaxy A71. That is, the main lens is likely a 64MP camera while the other sensors are 12MP ultra-wide and two 5MP sensors.

Nevertheless, reports show that Samsung is also working on 4G versions of the siblings like Galaxy A32 and Galaxy A52 where the latter will succeed the best-selling Galaxy A51.

Besides, Arif has also hinted at the launch of the 5G device with a smiley to tipster Ishan Agarwal’s reply. The tipster has replied with a guess that the device is likely to be Reno5 Pro 5G. Hence, it will be interesting to see if the company brings both versions to India or just the Pro.

— Tasleem Arif (@tasleemarifk) December 11, 2020

Previously, the company launched only the Pro version of the predecessor in the country back in July. In any case, the Reno5 Pro, if launches, should finally bring the 5G-support to the Reno series in India. Let’s wait for more details as we get closer to the launch.

Reno5 Series (China) Specifications

The OPPO Reno5 5G in China features a 6.43-inch OLED FHD+ 90Hz display, Snapdragon 765G SoC, 8/12GB RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.1 storage, quad rear camera with 64MP f/1.7 main lens, 8MP ultra-wide, and two 2MP sensors, 32MP selfie shooter.

OPPO will be announcing the Reno5 series in China in the coming month. The lineup reportedly includes three handsets such as the Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. These monikers are not official yet. A tipster has claimed that the global launch of the Reno5 series is also nearing. He also shared key details of the global editions of the Reno5 models.

Leakster Chun has claimed that the Reno5 series will go official earlier than expected in December or January. The Reno5 will be available in 4G and 5G versions. The 4G model will have the Snapdragon 720G along with 1^st generation SuperVOOC 50W, whereas the 5G edition will be driven by the Snapdragon 765G and it will support 2^nd generation SuperVOOC 65W.

The leak further reveals that the Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ will not be available in the 4G version in the global markets. While the Chinese edition of the Reno5 Pro is expected to arrive with Dimensity 1000+, its global variant will have the Snapdragon 765G SoC.

The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ will be a flagship phone featuring the unannounced Snapdragon 870 (or 865 Ultra) chipset. It will borrow the Sony IMX689 48-megapixel sensor that was made available on the Find X2 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The Reno5 Pro+ will remain exclusive to the Chinese markets.

The tipster added that the reason why OPPO is aiming for an early global release is that it wants to increase the sales of the Reno5 series during the upcoming Lunar New Year in many Southeast Asian countries. It appears that Samsung had also applied the same strategy last year when it introduced the Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51v phones in December.

According to the tipster, the Reno5 series is not a major upgrade over the Reno4 series since both have almost the same design language and specifications.  Instead of a dual selfie camera found on the Reno4, the Reno5 has a single camera hole for 44-megapixel selfie snapper. Also, the main rear camera on the Reno5 will be upgraded to 64-megapixel.

OPPO announced the Reno4 series in China last month and now, the Reno4 Pro is making its way to the global markets. The company officially launched the Reno4 Pro in India today via a special AR event. If you are familiar with the Chinese Reno4 Pro, note that the global variant brings a few changes. However, the Indian variant retains the two major highlights of the Chinese variant – 90Hz Super AMOLED display and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 fast charging.

OPPO Reno4 Pro Indian Variant Design

OPPO has, unsurprisingly, stripped off 5G from the Indian variant, but that makes it extremely lightweight. The OPPO Reno4 Pro is one of the lightest smartphones launched in 2020, weighing just over 160 grams. So the global Reno4 Pro is the lightest smartphone in the entire Reno series so far. The phone is exceptionally thin too, measuring just 7.7mm (160.2mmx73.2mmx7.7mm). These dimensions along with a curved body will ensure that the Reno4 Pro has an extremely comfortable grip.

Here is our review video:

The Reno4 Pro Indian variant comes with a single punch hole camera on top of its 3D curved display. There are four cameras at the back (one sensor more than the Chinese Reno4 Pro). The phone comes in two colors at launch, Starry Night and Silky White. If you remember, the Chinese variant had some fancy gradient colors in Red and Blue finishes. There was a special Pantone Green Glitter variant too. So it’s a shame that the Reno4 Pro in India sticks to the basic Black and White color options.

Editor’s Pick: How Safe is the OPPO 125W Flash Charging Technology?

OPPO Reno4 Pro Indian Variant Hardware

The OPPO Reno4 Pro in India comes with a 6.5-inch FHD+ E3 Super AMOLED display. E3 here refers to a kind of material that produces the lights on the screen. As compared to earlier generations of E1 and E2, E3 screens are brighter, more power-efficient, and produce less blue light. They support a peak brightness of 800 nits, with a 7% improvement in power efficiency. It can also block 42% more blue light.

The 6.5-inch display features 3D curved glass on top (officially marketed as the 3D Borderless Sense Screen) with a screen curvature of 55.9 degrees. The panel supports 90Hz refresh rate and up to 180Hz touch sampling rate. The screen should do pretty well under direct sunlight too as it brightens to as much as 800 nits, with a peak partial brightness as high as 1100 nits. The display gets TÜV Rhineland Full Care Display Certification and OPPO confirms that the phone is certified for Widevine L1, so streaming HD videos on Netflix or Amazon Prime shouldn’t be a worry. 

Under the hood, the OPPO Reno4 Pro Indian variant comes with Snapdragon 720G. This is where things get a little disappointing, especially considering how the Chinese variant features Snapdragon 765G. The 720G chip is no slouch, but for a phone that’s priced well over Rs. 30,000, this chip might feel a bit underpowered. You also get 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage onboard.

The phone comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor and runs on Color 7.2 based on Android 10.

OPPO Reno4 Pro India Variant Cameras

The camera setup on the new OPPO model in India is a bit different than the one on the Chinese model.

The phone’s camera setup is as follows:

• 48MP Main Camera, IMX586, 1/2″, F/1.7
• 8MP Ultra-Wide Angle Camera, 1/4″, F/2.2
• 2MP Macro Camera, 1/5″, F/2.4
• 2MP Mono Camera, 1/5″, F/2.4

So you get four cameras in total with a Macro and a Mono camera. Unfortunately, there’s no telephoto shooter that was found on the Chinese variant.

On paper, the Reno4 Pro’s camera setup looks average, but the company has added a bunch of creative features to make your photography experience interesting. The phone features the new Ultra Steady Video 3.0 for shake-free videos on both front and back cameras, Monochrome AI video mode, and AI Color Portrait Video and Photo modes which keeps the subject in color on a black and white background. Other features include the Ultra Night Selfie Mode, Ultra Dark Photo Mode (when lighting is lower than 1 lux), Night Flare Mode, and a 108MP mode.

Up front, you get a 32MP selfie camera inside a single punch hole on the top left corner.

OPPO Reno4 Pro India Variant Battery

Charging is one of the biggest highlights of the new OPPO model. The phone comes with the super-fast 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 that charges its 4000mAh battery to 100% in just 36 minutes.

Despite the announcement of OPPO’s 125W flash charging technology, we don’t have a commercial phone using the technology yet. So SuperVOOC 2.0 is still one of the fastest charging technologies available in the market right now.

OPPO Reno4 Pro India Variant Pricing & Availability

The Reno4 Pro goes on sale at Rs.34,990 ($468) from August 5, 2020, via Amazon, Flipkart, and retail stores across India.

OPPO also announced the OPPO Watch at the same event in India, you can read more about it from our launch coverage here.
