Oppo Reno 11 Series: Expected Price
Update 05/01/2024: Tipster Abhishek Yadav suggests that the Reno 11 Pro will be priced around Rs 35,000. The Reno 11 on the other hand, could be priced around Rs 28,000.
The Oppo Reno 11 Pro comes in two variants in China:
- 12GB + 256GB: CNY 3499 (approx Rs 41,100)
- 12GB + 512GB: CNY 3799 (approx Rs 44,600)
The Reno 11 is available in three variants in China:
- 8GB + 256GB: CNY 2499 (approx Rs 29,300)
- 12GB + 256GB: CNY 2799 (approx Rs 32,800)
- 12GB + 512GB: CNY 2999 (approx Rs 35,200)
Even going by the recent pricing trends in China, the Reno 11 series seems to be overpriced on the basis of the value it offers. In fact, the iQOO 12, which is a much better smartphone than Reno 11 Pro on terms of specs, starts at CNY 3,999 (approx Rs 45,700) for the base 12GB + 256GB option, whereas the 16GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB variants are priced at CNY 4,299 (approx Rs 49,200) and CNY 4,699 (approx Rs 53,800), respectively. The Xiaomi 14 also has an identical starting price as the iQOO 12 in China.
Considering Oppo’s previous pricing strategy in India, we feel it is going to price the Reno 11 series in a similar fashion as it did in China. If the prices remain similar, it will further make the series a hard sell. However, if they price it in an aggressive manner, the Oppo Reno 11 5G series could definitely be recommendable. Whatever the case may be, we’ll have to wait for the official pricing announcement from Oppo’s side.
