The Oppo Reno16 Pro was officially unveiled in China today, and the device brings with it a slightly modernized look along with sturdy build quality. The IP69K-certified and therefore waterproof body measures a slim 7.7 millimetres in thickness and weighs 205 grams, which is not overly heavy given the hefty 7,000 mAh battery crammed inside. The blend of durability and practicality makes it a compelling choice for buyers who value resilience in a premium mid-range phone.
Design and power delivery
The charging options stand out, offering USB-C charging up to 80 watts or wireless charging at 50 watts. The most significant upgrade is the heart of the device: Oppo replaces the Dimensity 8450 with the newer Dimensity 9500s, aiming to push the Reno16 Pro toward flagship performance arenas. A remarkable 200-megapixel main camera sits at the fore, flanked by three 50 MP sensors that include a 50 MP f/2.0 ultra-wide, a 50 MP f/2.8 telephoto with 3.3x optical zoom, and a 50 MP f/2.0 selfie camera, creating a versatile camera trio for varied shooting scenarios.
Display and features
The rest of the package continues to impress, featuring a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display capable of 120 Hz refresh, with a peak HDR brightness rated at 3,600 nits and a PWM frequency of 2,160 Hz to reduce visible flicker. The fingerprint sensor sits beneath the display, and a programmable action button is located on the left edge for quick access. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and dual SIM support for flexible network use.
