The OPPO Reno 13 series is gearing up to be the next big release for OPPO, following the success of the Reno 12 series. The new devices, including the Reno 13 and Reno 13 Pro, are expected to launch in China later this month, with a global launch likely to follow soon after. New leaks have revealed a real-life photo of the Reno 13, along with certification listings confirming its imminent release.
OPPO Reno 13 Design Leaked
A leaked photo of the OPPO Reno 13 has surfaced, shared by tipster DigitalChatStation (DCS). The image shows the side view of the device, with notable design similarities to the iPhone 15. Some key design highlights include:
- Flat sides with rounded edges: The Reno 13 has a frame that looks similar to the iPhone 15, but is made from aluminium alloy, while the iPhone 15 uses a Titanium alloy.
- Curvy corners: The phone has a sleek, modern look with smooth transitions between the edges and corners.
- Camera Design: The rear camera setup features three lenses arranged vertically, with the two main sensors stacked above one another, and a third sensor placed next to them. There’s also a ring-like flashlight module, adding to the overall camera design.
- Camera Island: Unlike previous designs, the camera island on the Reno 13 seems to blend seamlessly with the back panel, giving it a more integrated appearance, similar to recent flagship designs.
The side-by-side comparison with the iPhone 15 emphasizes the thinness and elegance of the Reno 13, though the placement and design of the camera modules differ.

Although the certification does not reveal more specifics, it solidifies the device’s imminent launch outside of China.
