The next wave of flagship smartphones is ready to launch. Oppo has confirmed the launch of its flagship series – Reno 13 series 5G. Like this year’s Reno 12 series, we expect the Reno 13 series to also include two smartphones, the Reno 13 5G and the Reno 13 Pro 5G. Oppo has not confirmed the exact launch date yet, however, the company has revealed that the India launch will take place in January 2025. This was confirmed by the company in a post shared on Twitter.

Oppo has also revealed in the teaser that the Reno 13 Series 5G will have an aluminum frame and a sculpted rear-panel and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for protection. The Reno 13 series will utilize “aerospace-grade aluminum frames, one-piece sculpted glass back and Corning Gorilla Glass 7i for unmatched beauty and durability,” the post said.

Additionally, the image accompanying the teaser post also confirms that the Reno 13 series will feature a triple camera setup and a flat display. If we look at last year’s Reno 12 series, the camera setup of the Reno 13 series has been given a slightly new design. Based on the image, the phone will have three cameras, two of which will be aligned vertically, with the third placed on the right side to form a triangle. The image also shows an LED flash inside the camera house, which, given recent camera design trends, will likely be a ring light.

This is all that Oppo’s teaser reveals for now. However, the Reno 13 series has already launched in the China market, giving us an idea of ​​what to expect from the smartphones. In China, the Reno 13 series features a 6.59-inch flat AMOLED display with a sharp resolution of 2760×1256 pixels and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring vibrant visuals and fluid performance. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8350 chipset, which is an upgrade from its predecessor with an upgraded GPU for a better gaming experience and faster app loading times. Backing this power is a robust 5,600mAh battery that supports 80W fast wired charging, which promises quick top-ups and long-lasting usage.

Camera performance has always been a strong suit for the Reno series, and the Reno 13 continues this tradition. It features a 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) for sharp and steady shots, paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens for expansive captures. On the front, there is a 50-megapixel selfie camera, which ensures great self-portraits and video calls.

Running on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, the Reno 13 offers a refined software experience with the latest features and customizations. Durability is another standout feature, with the device boasting of IP66, IP68 and IP69 certifications, making it resistant to dust and able to withstand various water exposure scenarios.

As for pricing, the Reno 13 series starts at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs. 31,400) in China. Although the official price in India has not been confirmed, the Reno 12 has been launched in the country for Rs 32,999, suggesting that the Reno 13 may be priced similarly in India for the first time.
