In the Weibo post, OPPO shared a short teaser trailer of the launch event with emphasis on the number 8 and a gold and cream white colour scheme. Well, it does makes sense given that the smartphone that will be launched is the Reno8. As for the colour schemes, it may as well be the colours available for the smartphone.

Not much detail was given in the post other than a cryptic message saying that the new Reno would be your new ‘core’ friend. However, according to alleged leaks previously, the smartphone may well feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset; the first on any smartphone. 

We previously reported on how the Reno8 was allegedly spotted on Geekbench 5 which details the device’s potential specification. Having the model number PGAM10, the Geekbench 5 listing claimed that it will pack the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 alongside 8GB of RAM.

The device is also expected to sport a 6.55-inch 120Hz OLED display, 4500mAh battery capable of 80W charging and a 50MP primary + 8MP ultra-wide + 2MP macro camera setup. At its front, the Reno8 is touted to sport a 32MP camera.

However, do take this information with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of yet. Well, we’ll just have to wait until 23 May to find out whether these specs are true or not.
