The IMDA has certified the upcoming CPH1917 smartphone from OPPO and confirmed that it will be launched under the new ‘Reno’ product line.

On the software front, OPPO’s first ‘Reno’ smartphone will be running on ColorOS 6.0 based on Android 9.0 Pie. As confirmed by OPPO, the first ‘Reno’ phone will be launched in China on April 10. We can expect OPPO to continue teasing the upcoming device on Weibo in the days to come.

In addition to the first Reno smartphone, Singapore’s IMDA has also granted certification to the OPPO AX5s with model number CPH1920. As suggested by its name, the AX5s will be a successor to the AX5 budget Android smartphone launched by OPPO last year.
