Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G may launch soon in India. A smartphone carrying a model number associated with the Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G is said to have been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. Oppo had teased the smartphone's India launch as soon as it was launched in China earlier this month. It's still unclear what SoC will the smartphone get in India, but we know that the Chinese variant is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM. The phone has also been listed on Singapore's IMDA certification website.

As per a tweet by tipster Mukul Sharma, a smartphone with model number CPH2201 has been listed on the BIS site.

Speculations are rife that the phone will debut in India in January, but we are still waiting for an official announcement from Oppo.
