Oppo Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro now have a release date for India! The successor to Oppo Reno 7 and Reno 7 Pro will be released this month with some updates. Oppo says the Reno 8 series will be announced at a launch event on July 18 at 6pm, where the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro will be unveiled. The Reno 8 series was already launched in China a few weeks ago and India once again seems to be getting only two models. However, there is also good news. The design reveal shows that Oppo is bringing the Reno 8 Pro and Reno 8 Pro+ to India as the Reno 8 and Reno 8 Pro respectively. This means we could see Oppo’s best cameras and hardware. This time, both models will have flat edges inspired by the iPhone 12 instead of a single model. Another leak also suggests the possible prices that Oppo could ask for these phones.
