Oppo Reno 11 series hot take: Old wine in new bottle?

financialexpress.com:

The Oppo Reno 11 series is widely expected to launch in India on January 11. Per usual, the Chinese smartphone maker has started revealing the key core specs of the upcoming Reno 11 and Reno 11 Pro. In a press release sent out to the media today, Oppo is going to great lengths to highlight portrait photography strides on these new smartphones fueled by proprietary imaging algorithms and whatnot. And yet in some areas, these India-bound phones are taking a step back, when compared to their Chinese counterparts.

Take the choice of chip for instance. Oppo has confirmed that the Reno 11 Pro will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200 in India. While surely a step up from the Reno 10 Pro’s Snapdragon 778G, it pales next to the Chinese Reno 11 Pro with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. The India-bound Reno 11 Pro in fact is getting the same chip that powers the Chinese Reno 11. And so, if you’re wondering, what’s the Indian Reno 11 getting, well, it’s getting an even less powerful Dimensity 7050, same as the Reno 10 before it. Rumours that the India-bound Reno 11 could arrive with the Dimensity 1080 also stand corrected as the D1080 is nothing but a rebadged D7050.

But moving on, the battery capacity, too, is getting a bit of a change, some good and some not good. The India-bound Reno 11 is getting a bigger battery (5,000mAh versus 4,800mAh) but the Indian Reno 11 Pro’s battery will top out at just 4,600mAh, 100mAh smaller than its Chinese equivalent. And so, basically, the capacities remain unchanged from the Reno 10 Pro and Reno 10. Fast charging speeds are a do-over as well: 67W for the Reno 11 and 80W for the Reno 11 Pro.  

The Reno 11 series is further said to get a 10-bit display with up to 950 nits of
