The new Reno smartphone series from OPPO will go official on April 10, as per the company’s official teaser. We are still days ahead of the said date, and that means more window for more leaks and official teasers. However, reports from out of China suggest the OPPO is already accepting pre-orders for the upcoming device in China.
The pre-booking is available via multiple online retailers in China including the company’s official online store, Jingdong Mall, Tmall, Suning as well as multiple offline channels. You can benefit from OPPO’s trade-in activities in addition to a 500 Yuan (~$75) discount if you pre-order the device from now until April 18, while anyone who partakes in the pre-orders between April 19 and April 21 will be provided with a one-year screen breaking insurance worth 129 Yuan (~$19). We are not sure when the device will begin to ship, however, there are indications the first batch will ship out as from April 19, while pre-orders made between April 19 and April 21 could ship out, perhaps between April 21 until Month end.
