According to Digital Chat Station via Weibo, the Reno 9 series which was expected to function on Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 series, will instead have the older Snapdragon 778G SoC chipset. The launch comes after Oppo launched Reno 8 series which is also available in India.
Other specifications of the smartphone have yet to be unwrapped, but details like fast charging and the processor for the series are already tipped. The Reno 9 series is expected to support a 4,500mAh battery with UFCS support thereby, making OPPO the first smartphone brand to comply with UFCS standards.

The chipset which was anticipated to be Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 or MediaTek Dimensity 800 series Soc, is also an older Snapdragon 778G Soc. The Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 is only available for the smartphones available in China and in the Reno 8 series.
