These chipsets, combined with up to 16GB of RAM, are likely to ensure smooth day-to-day performance and fast app switching.
Battery and Charging
Both models are tipped to feature a 6,000mAh battery, which would make them among the longest-lasting Reno phones yet. Charging speeds are also expected to remain fast, with support for 80W wired charging, ensuring quick top-ups even with the large battery capacity.
