BRING back the rain, and you’ll see me protecting myself with Oppo Reno13 Series.
These were the words of one well-known influencer at the launch of the Series in Randburg, on a beautiful, sunny Wednesday afternoon.
The Oppo Reno13 Seriesis the perfect companion – on land, in water, and everywhere in between. So, you now understand the rain affirmation!
Blending sleek style with unmatched durability, it introduces caseless underwater photography—a game-changer that lets you snap poolside selfies, record ocean dives, and even text with wet hands, no waterproof cover needed.
To prove its durability in the water, a model kept jumping into a swimming pool, with Reno13 on her hand, for a maximum of 10seconds.
It is packed with AI-enhanced camera, water resistance, and powerful battery life and powered by a 5,600mAh battery and 80W SUPERVOOC™ Flash Charge, getting you 50% battery in just 22 minutes and a full charge in only 47 minutes.
With IP66, IP68, and IP69 water-resistance ratings, it can handle everyday spills, rainstorms, and even underwater adventures. Whether you’re caught in a Joburg downpour, hiking in Cape Town’s unpredictable weather, or just enjoying a soak after a long day, this smartphone is as resilient as you are.
Avashnee Moodley, Head of Marketing at OPPO South Africa, agrees:
“The Reno13 Seriesisn’t just about innovation – it’s about helping people capture and enjoy life’s best moments, no matter where they are. Whether you’re a content creator, an outdoor explorer, or someone who wants a phone they can rely on, this device delivers.”
Normally, mobile-phones struggle with underwater shots – such as blurry images, distorted colours, and fogged-up lenses, but not the Reno13, thanks to its automatically adjust lighting, contrast, and sharpness, making crystal-clear underwater photography.
Guests included Primo9teen, Grace Mondlana, Ryan Smith, Sibusiso Kotelo and TV presenter Lerai Rakoditsoe, fashionista Rich Mnisi, and large media contingent.
The Reno13 F 5G (retailing for R14 999) will be available on the SA market from March.
Reno13 5G (R18 999) is now available, with option at R799 per month x36.
The Oppo brand also sponsor’s Orlando Pirates FC and the 2025 UEFA Champions League.
There’s a competition for a lucky couple to win tickets to the finals in Munich, on May 12.
