OPPO Reno3 5G leaks in real life photos

We have some leaked images of the new OPPO Reno 3 5G (not Pro) that show off the design of the phone as well as the spec sheet. From what we can see it will pack the Snadpragon 765G, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. We also see a quad camera setup at the back with the fourth sensor probably being a ToF sensor. No word on when to expect it, but given the timing of the leaks, it could be close by.

This is a start as we know that if Apple plans to bring Touch ID back it will be with more room for it to work on the iPhone’s screen which is possible with Qualcomm’s new sensor, but then we know that sensor isn’t optical, and instead Ultrasonic. We’ll see.
