Oppo opens pre-orders for its new Reno3 device in Kenya

“Many cutting-edge imaging technologies and design techniques are perfectly fitted into the Reno3, making it a highly competitive and trendy photography smartphone,” said Muthoni Wachira, Oppo Kenya PR and corporate communications manager.

“We are confident that Reno 3 will carry on the Reno legacy by providing its users with a holistic experience, further strengthening our regional market presence and redefining the way trend-setting elites leverage new-age technology on their smartphones,” added Muthoni.

Reno3 runs on MediaTek’s Helio P90 with an array of AI-camera features, fast and secure facial recognition and full-body movement tracking as well as MediaTek HyperEngine gaming technology.

The new mobile device also boasts of an Ultra Steady Video 2.0 with extreme, usual modes and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and a high frame rate of 1080P 60fps among other features.
