OPPO has announced it will be bringing its latest Reno series, the OPPO Reno 10 series, to the Kenyan market. The official launch of the device has been set for 5th September 2023. This announcement comes after the series was released in other markets prior. The Reno 10 series will include two variants in Kenya – the Reno 10 5G and the Reno 10 Pro 5G.
The delayed launch of the Reno 10 series in Kenya has sparked speculation about the reasons behind it. While some believe the delay is due to issues at the port and reviews by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) regarding importation and taxation, only OPPO holds the exact details.
The Reno devices have a reputation for being well-constructed, and for those who have experienced the previous Reno series, this latest upgrade generates considerable excitement.
Fredrique Achieng, PR Manager of OPPO Kenya, shared, “The Reno series has been beloved since its inception four years ago. With the Reno10 series, we aim to provide users with the most powerful portrait experience, facilitating a pro-level portrait shooting experience.”
