The Reno 16 and Reno 16 Pro models, which Oppo will introduce at the event to be held in China on May 25, were revealed with short videos shortly before the announcement. While the images shared on social media show the two phones displayed side by side, the design lines of the devices become clearer. The company also released an official promotional video for the series. Thus, the design approach and some hardware details of the Oppo Reno 16 family were largely confirmed before the event.
In the shared images, it is noteworthy that the Reno 16 series maintains its slim body structure. Vertical layout seems to be preferred in the camera module, similar to previous Reno models. It is stated that the Reno 16 Pro model in particular will stand out with larger camera sensors. Oppo is expected to continue its approach, which has recently focused on portrait and zoom performance, in this series as well.
Leaks regarding the Reno 16 Pro model show that the device will offer a very ambitious structure on the camera side. While it is stated that the phone will have a main camera with a resolution of 200 megapixels, it will be accompanied by a 50 megapixel periscope telephoto camera and a 50 megapixel ultra wide angle camera. It is stated that there will be an ultra wide-angle selfie camera on the front with a resolution of 50 megapixels. This structure reveals that Reno 16 Pro targets upper segment users, especially in mobile photography and video.
Oppo Reno 16 Pro draws attention with its large battery capacity
According to the leaked technical information, the Reno 16 Pro model will feature a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED screen. Thanks to LTPO panel technology, the screen refresh rate is expected to change dynamically depending on the usage scenario. Thus, a more balanced structure can be provided in terms of both fluency and energy consumption. On the processor side, it is said that MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500s platform will be used. Although it is not official yet, it is stated that this chipset has been developed for upper segment performance-oriented devices.
There is also a remarkable detail on the battery capacity side. It is stated that Reno 16 Pro will come with a 7000 mAh capacity battery. Recently, it has been seen that large battery capacity can be used in thin bodies, thanks to Chinese manufacturers turning to higher density silicon carbon battery technologies. However, it is not yet known what kind of balance the device will offer in terms of weight and thickness. Still, the high battery capacity may be one of the highlights for users who want long screen time.
It is said that the standard Reno 16 model will come with a more compact structure. While it is stated that the device will have a 6.3 inch screen, it is stated that a MediaTek Dimensity 8000 series platform will be used on the processor side. Available information shows that the Dimensity 8500 processor is the strongest candidate. Thus, the standard model is expected to offer a daily use-oriented experience with lower power consumption.
Oppo’s Reno series has attracted attention in recent years with its camera capabilities and slim design approach. The Reno 16 family is also preparing to continue this approach in line with the available information. With the promotional event, all technical features, software innovations and price information of the devices will become clear.
