OPPO has officially revealed the design of the upcoming Reno16 series ahead of its launch in China and global markets. The new lineup brings a flatter and cleaner design language this time, with slim flat sides, a premium metal frame, and a camera layout that looks quite similar to the previous generation.
The Reno16 series is also expected to arrive in India shortly after the China launch. As per current information, OPPO is preparing four models for the Indian market: Reno16c, Reno16, Reno16 Pro Mini, and Reno16 Pro.
Interestingly, the standard Reno16 launching in China is expected to arrive in India as the Reno16 Pro Mini.
The Reno16 Pro Mini is expected to feature a 6.32-inch 1.5K 120 Hz flat OLED display along with the MediaTek Dimensity 8550 chipset. Battery capacity is tipped to be around 6,700 mAh with support for 80W fast charging.
The larger Reno16 Pro is expected to use a 6.78-inch 1.5K 120 Hz flat OLED panel paired with the Dimensity 9500s chipset. OPPO is also reportedly adding a massive 7,000 mAh battery with 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging support.
Camera hardware looks like a major focus across the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro models. Both are expected to feature a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 200 MP HP5 main sensor with OIS, a 50 MP ultrawide camera, and a 50 MP periscope telephoto camera with 70 mm focal length, OIS, and 10 cm macro.
On the front, OPPO is also expected to include a 50 MP ultrawide selfie camera using the JN5 sensor. Other expected features include IP69 dust and water resistance, a metal frame, and the new Plus Key shortcut button too.
The Reno16 series is scheduled to launch in China on May 25, 2026. The India launch is currently expected sometime in June or July, though OPPO has not officially confirmed the exact timeline yet.
