It’s not only the OPPO Find X2 Pro flagship phone that’s launching in the Philippines. There’s also something for the midrange market.

(Update, 7:21 p.m.: Confirmed: Both the OPPO Reno 3 and OPPO Reno 3 Pro are coming to the Philippines! The series will be launched via a local livestream on March 19. Read the press release that we just received from OPPO at the end of this article. Update, March 16: Specs are out! Read OPPO Reno 3 vs OPPO Reno 3 Pro [global]: Specs comparison. Update, March 17: The launch has been postponed amid the spread of COVID-19 in the Philippines.)

OPPO Philippines today has started teasing the Reno 3. It’s not clear whether it will be unveiled together with the X2 Pro (update, March 14: this is now up for preorder) or if the OPPO Reno 3 Pro will be announced alongside the regular model. The company hasn’t even announced the exact launch date yet, but we’re guessing it’s going to be at any time this month.

This development comes after the release of the OPPO A31 budget phone and the OPPO Enco Free truly wireless earphones in the country.

Let yourself be heard. It’s time to get #LoudAndClear with the new #OPPOReno3

OPPO Philippines starts teasing the OPPO Reno 3

The OPPO Reno 3 was first unwrapped in China in end-December as the manufacturer’s first smartphone to come with the MediaTek Dimensity 1000L 5G, a chip that has four Cortex-A77 and four Cortex-A55 cores paired with a Mali-G77 GPU. The 8GB/128GB and 12GB/128GB models are priced at ¥3,399 (around P24,865 or $487) and ¥3,699 (P27,060 or $530), respectively.

However, there’s a rumor that came out two days ago that the global version of the OPPO Reno 3 will feature a Helio P90 instead of a Dimensity 1000L and a 44-megapixel selfie camera instead of a 32-megapixel one. Well, let’s just wait for OPPO’s confirmation. Until then, just refer to the specs of the Chinese variant below.
