Oppo Reno series with side-swing selfie camera to launch in India on 28 May

Oppo’s Reno sub-brand appears to be set to make its debut in India later this month. The Chinese smartphone brand appears to have already begun sending out press invites for a launch event on 28 May. The smartphone will be available on the e-commerce platform, Flipkart, starting from the same day. Apart from the press invite which only reveals the launch date, the official Oppo India twitter handle has also changed its cover image stating the same. 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. While the core specifications of each phone are already out, what remains to be seen is which of the three phones, Oppo decides to launch in the country. The pricing of the Reno series will also be interesting to see since the phone will likely be at loggerheads with the **upcoming OnePlus 7, OnePlus Pro** , once launched.
