5G, the next generation wireless communication standard, was introduced about a year ago and with it came several new smartphones to support the technology.
The market for 5G was supposed to take off this year after laying the groundwork for the network expansion in 2019 and with it several new smartphones after only a few were introduced the prior year. However, due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, many of the rollouts have been postponed or are being rolled out at a slower pace.
Oppo introduced the Reno 3 Pro 5G in December of 2019 as a new flagship for the Chinese smartphone operator. However, just a few short months later, it introduced its X2 Pro 5G as its new flagship with the new Snapdragon 865 mobile processor.
Given the state of the world, it is hard to imagine the smartphone market having a boom with shops closed and people sheltering in place, but when those days are over, Oppo will be in a position to offer a variety of smartphones to consumers.
This teardown for the Oppo Reno 3 Pro 5G includes a breakdown of the major components found in the smartphone, including the first midrange 5G chipset from Qualcomm and the Snapdragon 765 apps/baseband mobile processor.
