The Reno 16c, on the other hand, will get a dual rear camera setup. It keeps the same 50MP main and 50MP ultra-wide cameras but skips the telephoto sensor. 

Both phones will also feature a 50MP front camera placed inside a punch-hole display. According to OPPO, the selfie camera offers a 100-degree field of view for wider group selfies and video calls. The company has also confirmed a Dual Flash System to improve low-light photography. 

The Reno 16 series will support 4K HDR video recording at 60fps across the ultra-wide, main and telephoto cameras on the Reno 16. Camera features such as Dual-View Video 2.0, Pop Cam, Popout 2.0 and AI Remix Collage will also be available. 

OPPO Reno 16 series specs, features 

The Reno 16 is confirmed to feature a 6.32-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,800 nits peak brightness. The Reno 16c gets a slightly larger 6.57-inch AMOLED display with the same Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, although peak brightness drops to 1,400 nits. 

On the design side, OPPO says the Reno 16 series will feature its new 3D Pop Planet design. The standard Reno 16 will also come with the company’s HoloVerse 3D design and Floating 3D Glitter finish. 

The company has also confirmed IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance across the lineup. Both phones will use an aerospace-grade aluminium frame and support Splash Touch as well as Glove Touch, allowing the display to respond even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. 

Another new addition is the AI Snap Key, which works as a shortcut button for AI features and MindSpace, helping users organise saved content more easily. 

OPPO Bubble accessory also coming 

Alongside the Reno 16 series, OPPO will introduce a new accessory called the OPPO Bubble. 

The accessory magnetically attaches to the back of the phone and features a 1.73-inch AMOLED display. It can work as a camera viewfinder, remote shutter control and a secondary display. Users will also be able to set custom wallpapers and interactive pets on the screen. 

The OPPO Bubble supports Bluetooth connectivity with a range of up to 10 metres, packs a 550mAh battery and carries an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. According to the company, it weighs around 27.5 grams.
