Oppo's mid-range smartphone with 12,000 mAh battery appears in photos

After initial details of an Oppo mid-range smartphone with the model number "PNC110" recently surfaced, the smartphone has now been certified by the Chinese telecommunications authority TENAA. This certification has revealed the first photos of the smartphone, whose final product name is not yet known.

The smartphone features a relatively simple design with a flat plastic frame with a volume rocker and a lock button on the right side. The display has relatively narrow bezels and a selfie camera in a centered punch-hole. Apart from the Oppo logo, the flat, single-color back houses only a particularly wide, rectangular camera module containing two cameras, a decorative lens, an LED flash and an "AI Camera" inscription. While the design is therefore not unusual, a gigantic 12,000 mAh battery is reportedly hidden inside the relatively thin chassis.

This would give the smartphone a battery 20 percent larger than that of the Oppo A7 Pro Max 5G. Since the design also closely resembles the older model, the Oppo PNC110 could be a new model in the Oppo A series. The device is expected to offer a 5G modem, dual-SIM support and ColorOS based on Android 17. No further details about the specifications, launch date or price are known yet, but since the device has already been certified by the first regulatory authorities, it is likely only a few weeks to months away from going on sale.
