Oppo is going to launch Reno 13 series in India next month. The company has not yet announced an official launch date, but Oppo is now frequently teasing the new smartphone series on X (formerly Twitter). We are expecting the Reno 13 series to launch in the second week of January 2025. The Reno 13 series will likely include two smartphones: the Reno 13 and the Reno 13 Pro. Before the launch, the company has revealed the design of the smartphones.

The Reno 13 and 13 Pro are confirmed to have two vertically aligned cameras and a third on its right side. The two vertically aligned cameras are so big and prominent that your eyes don’t move to the third, and the camera setup sports a very iPhone-like design. We see two colors in the teaser. White and beautiful lavender. You can tell we’re already feeling a slight inclination toward the lavender colorway. Both variants have a pattern on the back, which looks like marble in the white model. Oppo says it has a “one piece sculpted glass” back.

Slim, stylish and expertly crafted ðŸæ‹

The teaser confirms that the phone has an aluminum frame. Interestingly, the phone uses a nearly flat display, with a slight curve on the edges, which could potentially give you the best of both worlds – thinner bezels, less glare, and less accidental touches. In a previous post, Oppo has also confirmed that the rear panel of the Reno 13 series will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i.

Oppo hasn’t revealed details about it yet, but the teaser lists the phone as an AI phone, like last year’s Oppo Reno 12 series. This means that we can expect some upgrades in terms of AI features in the phone. Oppo Reno 12 Pro was equipped with AI features like AI Best Face, AI Eraser 2.0 and AI Clear Face. For productivity, it offered AI Summary, AI Record Summary, AI Clear Voice, AI Writer, and AI Speak.

The Reno 13 series, which has already been launched in China, gives a glimpse of what can be expected from these smartphones. In China, the series features a 6.59-inch flat AMOLED display with 2760×1256 pixel resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, delivering vibrant visuals and seamless performance.

It is paired with a large 5,600mAh battery that supports 80W fast wired charging for quick recharge and extended usage.

Continuing the Reno series’ focus on camera excellence, the Reno 13 is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for sharp and steady photos, coupled with an 8-megapixel secondary camera for capturing a wider perspective. is complemented by an ultra-wide lens. For selfies and video calls, the 50-megapixel front-facing camera ensures high-quality images and videos.

Reno 13 runs on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, which offers a great software experience with modern features and customizations. Durability is another highlight, as the device boasts of IP66, IP68, and IP69 certifications, making it dustproof and resistant to various water exposure conditions.

In terms of price, the Reno 13 series starts at CNY 2,699 (roughly Rs. 31,400) in China. While the official price in India has not been revealed, considering the Reno 12 launched in India at Rs 32,999, the Reno 13 is likely to be priced in the same range upon its Indian debut.
