The smartphone is advertised to be capable of capturing up to 108-megapixel images. The Oppo Reno 3 Pro also uses artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms to turn on the Ultra Dark Mode automatically when the illumination is lower than 1 lux to capture clear photos in dark environments. Oppo has provided an in-display fingerprint sensor on the Reno 3 Pro. Further, the smartphone offers up to 256GB of onboard storage. The Chinese company also announced the launch of the Oppo Kash as its financial services platform -- similar to the Realme Paysa that the Oppo spin-off brand launched last year.
The Oppo Reno 3 Pro price in India has been set at Rs. 29,990 for the 128GB storage variant, while its 256GB storage option carries a price tag of Rs. 32,990.

Oppo will start selling the Reno 3 Pro in the 128GB storage option in India from March 6, though the sale date of its 256GB storage variant is yet to be revealed. Pre-orders for the 128GB model are already live in the country.
