Oppo Reno16 and 16 Pro arrive globally with specs changes

Exactly one month after they were announced in China, Oppo’s Reno16 and Reno16 Pro are now making their way to the global markets, but not without some changes.

The major one is the choice of chipsets, where the global Reno16 Pro is bumped down to a MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Super, compared to the Chinese version’s Dimensity 9500s. The vanilla Reno16 gets a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 under the hood. The Pro is offered with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, while the vanilla comes in 8/256GB and 8/512GB trims.

But that’s not the only change as the global Reno16 Pro inherits a smaller 6,700mAh Si-C battery compared to the Chinese version’s 7,000mAh cell. The vanilla version also gets a 6,700mAh Si-C battery in some regions, while European units will feature an even smaller 6,000mAh capacity. All Reno16 devices support 80W SuperVOOC wired charging.

But there is some good news, the global Reno16 Pro gets a faster 144Hz refresh rate screen. It’s a 6.32-inch AMOLED with FHD+ resolution, just like the Reno16, but the latter is limited to 120Hz. Both panels are rated at up to 3,600 nits peak local brightness and feature optical in-display fingerprint sensors.

In terms of cameras, the Pro model features the exact same setup as the Chinese model. You get a 200MP main shooter armed with Samsung’s S5KHP5 sensor alongside a 50MP ultrawide (GC50F6) and a 50MP (Samsung JN5) telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom.

The non-Pro Reno16 features the same telephoto and ultrawide modules but opts for a lower resolution 50MP main cam armed with a Sony LYT-600 sensor. Elsewhere, both phones boot Android 16 with ColorOS 16 on top and feature IP68/IP69/P69K ingress protection.
