New certifications pertaining to a device called the OPPO CPH1931 have allegedly been found online. This device as described is a phone with a 6.1-inch screen and a 5000mAh battery. Its most interesting attribute so far may be references to the recently-released CPU, the SM6125, or Snapdragon 665.

OPPO may be making a phone based on the relatively novel Snapdragon 665 (SD 665) platform. This new SoC was released only a few months ago, and has heretofore only been seen in the Mi CC9e, a new China-exclusive phone from Xiaomi.

The SD 665 is an octa-core CPU with 4 Kryo 260 Gold cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 4 Kryo 260 Silver cores clocked at 1.8GHz. Its GPU is the Adreno 610, and supports LPDDR4X RAM and cameras of up to 48MP in resolution.

At this point, it is not clear if the OPPO CPH1931 will feature all of these possibilities. Its current alleged certifications do indicate that it has Bluetooth 5.0, as well as a 6.1-inch display and a 5000mAh battery. The latter spec suggests that the putative new phone is a high-value mid-ranger, as phones of this tier may feature large batteries as a selling point.
