Recently, a report emerged suggesting the launch of the Oppo Reno7 series in India during the first week of February. This will mark the arrival of the Oppo Reno7 series in the first global market after its debut in China in December. According to the reports, the new smartphones will go official by February 4 or February 5. Now, a fresh leak by tipster Yogesh BrarĀ also confirms that the Oppo Reno7 SE will also be making its way to the country.
To those unaware, the Oppo Reno7 SE is available in China alongside the vanilla and Pro smartphones. The tipster suggests that the Oppo Reno7 will be priced between INR 25,000 (~$336) and INR 45,000 (~$605). The Reno7 SE is the starting, most affordable, variant in India. As a result, we expect this version to cost around INR 25,000 (~$336). It may become competitive in the country, after all, this variant brings 5G connectivity with the excellent Dimensity 900 SoC.
