 "Is the internet dead? What's this theory that OpenAI's Sam Altman says might be true?")
Oppo appears to be finally all set to launch its flagship offering in India — the Oppo Reno series. The Reno has been garnering a lot of attention over the past few month for one reason in particular and that its design. The company
**unveiled the Oppo Reno and the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition** in China last month, with the highlight of the three phones being its side-swing selfie shooter.

The pricing of the Reno series will also be interesting to see since the phone will likely be at loggerheads with the
OnePlus 7 which is yet to hit stores.

Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition — software experience
– Colour OS 6 based on Android Pie
– Redesigned animation effects
– For gaming and an overall boost in performance, there’s a new Hyper Boost software feature built-in, accessible with the click of a button
– Oppo’s Hyper boost tech can increase touch performance while playing games like PUBG Mobile by 16 percent and reduces lag by 44 percent. These are just numbers though, we’ll be putting all these claims to the test when we have the unit.

That shark-fin selfie camera that sets the Reno’s design apart
Oppo says the selfie camera takes merely 0.8 seconds to raise and shoot and image.

The Reno sports a 6.6-inch AMOLED display with minimum bezels
Oppo claims this display covers the entire DCI-P3 colour gamut. There’s also Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection, an eye-protection mode and more.
First up — the design!
The Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Edition will be sold in India in two colours — Jet Black and Ocean Green. The Reno doesn’t look as flashy as the Find X or the R17 Pro but we feel a lot of people will dig how the Reno looks.
We’re finally going to talk about Reno 10X Zoom Edition
Oppo’s Product Manager, Jithin Abraham takes the stage to finally talk about what we’re here for — yes, the phone.
Well, this is what we meant…

Reno stands for creativity, colour
Will Yang says Reno doesn’t really have a definition. “Everyone can define Reno the way they wish to,” says Yang, something which has been reflected in the colourful brand campaign Oppo’s had for the Reno.
Android Q will be coming to the Oppo Reno
#OPPOReno will apparently be one of the first phones in the market to recieve #AndroidQ.
