The Oppo Reno 13 Pro is yet to be announced, but the mid-range phone is expected to launch by the end of the year. Although the previous Reno 12 range was launched this summer, Oppo has decided to refresh its premium mid-range family with a new line of devices, the Reno 13 and Reno 13 Pro. We don’t have too much information about the vanilla Reno 13, but the Reno 13 Pro specs seem to have leaked all the way from China. The renowned digital chat station revealed in a post on Weibo (via GizmoChina) that the Reno 13 Pro will offer several upgrades over the Reno 12 Pro.
The first and most obvious is the slightly larger display. The Reno 13 Pro is said to feature a 6.78-inch quad-curved OLED display with a resolution of 2780 x 1264 pixels. In comparison, the Reno 12 Pro features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 2412 x 1080 pixel resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate.
Additionally, DCS says the Reno 13 Pro features a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. This will be another small upgrade over the Reno 12 Pro, which features a similar periscope telephoto camera, but only with 2x optical zoom.
When it comes to the battery, there is no mention of the size, but we do get information about the charging speed. Just like the Reno 12 Pro, the upcoming model will support 80W wired charging speeds. In addition, the Reno 13 Pro is also said to feature 50W wireless charging support via a dedicated case.

Despite the fact that DCS’s Weibo post did not mention the size of the battery, previous reports claimed that the Reno 13 Pro will have a large 5900mAh battery. It remains to be seen if these reports prove to be accurate or not.
But the biggest upgrade offered by DCS is the chipset. Apparently, the Oppo Reno 13 Pro will be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 processor, a much better CPU than the Dimensity 7300 Energy in the Reno 12 Pro.
Last but not least, the Reno 13 Pro is rumored to have a high rating for dust and water resistance. Oppo has yet to announce when the Reno 13 lineup will be revealed, but given the amount of information popping up online these days, it won’t be long.
