Oppo Reno 3 series with 5G connectivity
was launched in late December in China. The series consists of two phones primarily-
Reno 3 5G and Reno 3 Pro 5G. Another handset called Reno 3 Vitality Edition was
launched later in February.
But none of them made outside China as the
global variants were completely different devices with the same branding. That
said, the company now seems to be gearing up to release Reno 4 whose alleged
live image has been reshared by multiple users on Weibo.
We are not sure of the original source of
the purported Oppo Reno 4 live image leak. But the only picture we could find
without any watermark is by a well-known Chinese tipster called Ice Universe
who is also active on Twitter.
Looking at the image, we can notice the
handset to feature a quad-camera setup. The first three sensors are arranged
vertically on the top left corner of the phone’s back, whereas the fourth unit
sits adjacent to the third camera. There’s also an LED flash to the side of the
first sensor from the top. As far as the sensors are concerned, the first three
could be primary, ultra-wide, and telephoto. The last one placed to the side of
the array could be a ToF, macro or depth sensor.
These large-sized sensors look so weird.
Further, the design somewhat mimics that of LG Velvet whose cameras (different
sizes) imitate water droplets. As a whole, this alleged live image of Reno 4
shows us a handset with a bizarre rear design.
Having said that, we feel there is a
possibility of this live image to be fake. If you look back at the product
launches of BBK Electronics, the parent company of Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Relame,
and iQOO has never launched a device with ‘4’ attached to its name since it is
considered a bad omen in China. Hence,
we would like you to take this purported live image of Reno 4 with a pinch of
salt.
