It is to be noted that the company had launched three smartphones — the Oppo Reno 8, the Oppo Reno 8 Pro, and the Oppo Reno 8 Pro+ — in the series in China earlier this year. Meanwhile, a tipster has claimed that the phone may launch on July 21 in India.

Oppo announced via its website that it will launch the Oppo Reno 8 and Oppo Reno 8 Pro smartphones in India soon. It also revealed that the Pro model will come equipped with the company's MariSilicon X imaging chip, as tipped earlier. Oppo also posted a teaser clip on its Twitter account.

The Chinese company launched the series with three smartphones in China earlier this year. It included the Reno 8, Reno 8 Pro, and the Reno 8 Pro+ smartphones.

While the company hasn't revealed any information about the specifications of the smartphones, a recent report claimed that the Oppo Reno 8 will have the same specifications as the Chinese variant but the Oppo Reno Pro could be a rebranded version of the Oppo Reno Pro+. This essentially means that the Pro variant in India could come with the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max SoC and not the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1.

Oppo will be revealing the key specifications of the Oppo Reno 8 and Oppo Reno 8 Pro on July 5 and July 11. The Oppo Reno 8 series smartphones are camera-centric smartphones and the report mentioned above says that phones could launch in India on July 18. However, tipster Paras Guglani claimed that the Reno 8 series is coming to India on July 21. He also claims that the company will also launch Oppo Pad Air and other IoT products as well.
