out of 10
Oppo has launched its Oppo Reno16 F 5G as the budget-friendly member of the new Reno lineup, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy chipset, with a larger 6.57-inch display than the rest of the lineup, and its standout feature: the largest battery in the entire series at 7,000mAh.
Display and Design
The display is a flat AMOLED panel measuring 6.57 inches with an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, HBM brightness reaching 1,400 nits, and Crystal Guard protection. This screen is larger than both the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro's (6.32 inches). The phone features a glass back with an aluminum frame, weighing between 194 and 197 grams. The phone carries an IP69K rating for resistance against high-pressure water jets.
Chipset and Performance
The phone runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy chipset, built on a 4nm process, geared more toward efficiency than raw performance. The phone is available in two configurations: 8GB or 12GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB storage. The Oppo Reno16 F supports storage expansion via a microSDXC card.
Camera
The rear camera system: a 50MP main lens (f/1.8, OIS), a brand-new genuine telephoto lens with a 50MP sensor (f/2.8) offering 3.5x optical zoom with its own OIS — a substantial upgrade over the previous generation — and a third 8MP ultra-wide lens. The front camera is 50MP.
Battery and Charging
The battery has a capacity of 7,000mAh, the largest among all three Reno16 lineup members, with 80W fast charging delivering a full charge in roughly just 62 minutes.
