Oppo Reno 6 Lite leak reveals familiar design and specifications
Though Chinese smartphone maker Oppo is reportedly working on the next generation of its flagship smartphones, it doesn’t stop the smartphone maker from readying lite variants of previous generations.
The company reportedly has a new phone with Oppo Reno 6 Lite moniker in the works headed for a launch in the European market.
A quick look at the leaked specs and design is enough to tell that this is a rebranded variant of another Oppo device that sells as Oppo F19 in other markets including India where it was launched back in April this year.
Also, a phone with identical specifications has been selling in the European market as Oppo A74 since May this year – hence essentially Oppo is repacking the phone with new branding and wants to pass it as a brand-new device.
Even in India, Oppo relaunched the Oppo F19 six as Oppo F19s six months down the line to benefit from the festive season sales. The company not only re-used the phone, but it also promoted the same tagline – the sleekest phone with a 5,000 mAh battery. for both the devices launched six months apart.
While rehashing of smartphones isn’t new and most smartphone makers including Xiaomi, Samsung, Vivo etc. have been doing it for a long time and has proven effective in boosting numbers, it is slightly disappointing that most smartphone makers offer dated hardware to the unassuming consumers in new packaging.
