The Chinese tech mogul revealed the Oppo Reno 5 5G series in its home market with SD 765 and Dimensity 1000+ SoCs on Reno 5 5G and Reno 5 Pro 5G, respectively. It was last month when some key details were leaked by a Vietnamese source for the Reno 5’s global version.

The source revealed that the global version of the Reno 5 series will come with 4G and 5G capabilities. At the core, the smartphones will carry Snapdragon 720G and fast-charging support. Oppo will offer 50W SuperVOOC charging tech. Whereas the 5G variant is expected to come with 65W SuperVOOC charging and SD 765 SoC.

For the global markets, Oppo is only offering the 5G version of Oppo Reno 5 Pro 5G. The Vietnamese source also stated that this Pro variant will not come with a MediaTek chip. It is expected to draw its power from Snapdragon 765G. For the Chinese market, Oppo is going to launch the Reno 5 Pro+ 5G with a high-end Snapdragon 865 on Dec 24. However, there is much less probability for it to be launched in foreign markets.
