The Reno 16 series introduces a new visual identity centred around what Oppo calls India’s first HoloVerse 3D design. Available on the Starry White version, the finish creates a naked-eye 3D effect that makes a planet-like element appear suspended beneath the rear panel.

The effect changes depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions. Oppo says the design is achieved through a dual-layer optical structure combined with millions of precision microlenses. The lineup also incorporates a floating glitter effect and a redesigned camera ring for added depth. Buyers will be able to choose from Starry White, Twilight Violet, and Stellar Purple color options.

Beyond aesthetics, Oppo is highlighting durability as a key aspect of the Reno 16 series. The devices carry IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for resistance against dust, water immersion, splashes, and high-pressure water exposure. The Reno 16 also adopts an aerospace-grade aluminum frame that is claimed to improve structural strength and drop resistance compared to conventional plastic-frame smartphones.

The Reno 16 features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and ultra-slim 1.6mm bezels that contribute to a 93.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. The Reno 16c arrives with a larger 6.57-inch AMOLED panel, FHD+ resolution, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 1,800 nits on the Reno 16 and 1,400 nits on the Reno 16c for improved outdoor visibility.

Despite their large displays and camera systems, the Reno 16 measures 8.22mm thick and weighs 182 grams, while the Reno 16c comes in at 8.44mm and 195 grams. Another notable addition is the AI Snap Key, which debuts on the Reno series for the first time.

The customizable side-mounted button can launch the camera, flashlight, recorder, translator, and other functions. It also works with Oppo’s AI Mind Space platform, which integrates Gemini, Perplexity, and ChatGPT features for saving, organizing, and retrieving information more efficiently.

The brand is also expected to announce the Oppo Bubble accessory and the Enco Air 5 TWS earbuds alongside the Reno 16 and 16c.
