Nothing new was announced at this morning Reno4 series launch event, the Reno4 series had already been announced, and even the pricing was revealed early via Amazon.

However, they are now official, and we have three new semi-affordable 5G phones in the UK.

The star of the show, in my opinion, is the  Oppo Reno4 Z, being the one phone that brings something new to the table.

As usual with Oppo and their weird naming conventions, originally the Reno branding was to be ditched in favour of the Find X series, so the Reno3 became Find X2. Now it looks like they changed their minds and moved back to Reno. I am sure they will do another U-turn for the next generation.
