Reno series is one of the main offline products of OPPO. This series of machines does not have any "cost-performance ratio", but rather "offline phones" in the traditional sense; configuration is not the selling point of the Reno series, and appearance and selfies are the product advantages of this series of machines, so most of the machines in this series do not have any powerful chips.
In the Reno8 series released this year, the standard version is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chip, which is the "renamed version" of Dimensity 1200. The parameters of the two chips are almost the same; the Pro version is equipped with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, Reno8 Pro is also the world's first Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, and the Pro+ version is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max chip.
According to OPPO's product iteration strategy - at least two generations of Reno series machines in two years; so a brand new Reno9 series machine will be released in the second half of this year. Judging from the exposed news, the Reno9 series is expected to be equipped with the Snapdragon 778G (or Snapdragon 778G+) chip, and the standard version in the OPPO Reno7 series is equipped with this chip.
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is an iterative version of the Snapdragon 778G chip, but because it adopts the Samsung 4nm process standard and four A710 core designs, the heat of the chip is not optimistic; the OPPO Reno8 Pro equipped with this chip has received a lot of negative reviews, a large part of the reason is that the machine equipped with this chip has severe heat.
Perhaps it is because of the realization that Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is relatively poor, and OPPO can only use Snapdragon 778G series chips. After all, this chip has a good reputation and many offline mainstream machines are used; it is worth mentioning that in the mate50 series released by Huawei this year, mate50E is equipped with Snapdragon 778G chip (4G version).
If you look at the performance, the Reno9 series is equipped with Snapdragon 778G chip compared to the previous generation of machines using Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip is a "reverse upgrade", but Xiaozhai believes that the chip cannot only look at performance, but also depends on the heating control. If the heating control is poor, the consumer experience will decline, which will have a great impact on the sales of the machine!
OPPO Reno9 series returns to the Snapdragon 778G chip, which is a "rectification" approach. After all, Snapdragon 778G is still a relatively balanced mid-range chip, and it is completely possible to use it in the Reno series; some industry insiders said that the Honor 70 series originally planned to use Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, but it was found that the heat was too severe, so they finally used the Snapdragon 778G Plus chip.
