OPPO India today announced the OPPO Reno13 series, set to launch in January 2025, following its debut in China last month. Ahead of the launch, the company unveiled the series’ design and features.
Elegant Design Features
The Reno13 series combines matte and glossy finishes, achieved through grayscale exposure laser direct writing. This technique creates textures that shift with light and angle, giving the phones a premium, dynamic appearance.
- The Luminous Blue variant of the Reno13, exclusive to India, features a glowing effect around the camera module created using offset printing and reflective coating.
- The Ivory White variant produces a soft, fluttering light effect reminiscent of butterfly wings.
- The Mist Lavender variant of the Reno13 Pro offers a calming purple tone, while the Graphite Grey variant features a matte finish with subtle glossy accents for a professional aesthetic.
