OPPO may drop Reno Pro+ from lineup, Find X6 with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 could be incoming
According to a reliable Chinese tipster, OPPO is reportedly planning to cancel the Pro+ variant of its Reno series for the Chinese market. The Pro+ model, which was previously included in the Reno 8, Reno 9, and Reno 10 lineups, may not be part of the upcoming Reno 11 series, which may release later this year in the home market. While the specific reasons for this decision remain undisclosed, it appears that the Pro+ variant may not have garnered the desired market response compared to the standard and Pro models in the Reno series.
Furthermore, the tipster said the company is considering introducing a new flagship model in the Find X series. As of now, Oppo’s Find X6 lineup consists of the Find X6 and Find X6 Pro models, powered by the Dimensity 9200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipsets, respectively. The tipster suggests that Oppo is working on a new Find X6 variant equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
This potential addition to the Find X6 series indicates Oppo’s commitment to expanding its flagship offerings. The rumoured Find X6 model, featuring the powerful Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, is expected to debut in the second half of this year. If these reports hold true, it suggests that OPPO’s Find X series will now comprise three smartphones, rather than the usual two, for the Chinese market.
While the new leak provides tantalizing insights into OPPO’s future plans, it’s worth noting that official announcements from the company are awaited to confirm the details.
