OPPO discontinues its F-line of smartphones; replaces it with Reno

It seems as though the OPPO F11 and F11 Pro will be the company’s last F series smartphones by Chinese phone-maker OPPO. Recent reports have it that OPPO is looking to do away with the F-series of phones in favor of its new Reno line of smartphones.

91mobiles says that a “reliable source close to the matter” said that the company marked its 10-year anniversary in China, and is looking to make some changes to its lineup. The source also noted that the changes will be reflected in India as well, where the company just marked its 5-year anniversary, and it’s obvious that OPPO is pushing its Reno lineup in Africa and Europe as well.

So far, the new Reno line already has two devices; the Snapdragon 710-powered OPPO Reno, and the Snapdragon 855-powered OPPO Reno 10X Zoom Edition. A 5G variant of the Reno 10X Zoom is also expected sometime later this year.
