Oppo has today announced a trio of Reno9 smartphones – a vanilla Reno9 with Snapdragon 778G, a Reno9 Pro that shares the same body but runs on Dimensity 8100, and a mighty Reno9 Pro+ with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and three cameras on the back.
The Reno9 Pro and Reno9 Pro+ both launched with 16GB RAM as a base option, which is a first for the Reno series, and a feature we haven’t seen in an Oppo phone since the Find X3 Pro flagship, launched over 1.5 years ago.

Oppo Reno9 Pro
The Reno9 Pro member of the series has a lot in common with the regular Reno9 – they share the same light thin body, the 4,500 mAh battery and the 6.7” AMOLED screen.
The 5nm Dimensity 8100 chipset by Mediatek is the most major difference, the other being the camera setup and the presence of MariSilicon X NPU – Oppo’s own platform for advanced image processing, improved 4K Night video and 4K Ultra HDR video.
The Reno9 Pro has a 50MP f/1.8 main shooter with 7P lens and AF, and an 8 MP f/2.2 ultrawide-angle cam with 112-degree FoV. The selfie camera has the same 32MP sensor as the vanilla though.
While the vanilla smartphone has the speedier LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage only in the most expensive version, here these are available in both the 16/256 GB and 16/512 GB variants.
