OPPO has unveiled its new Reno16 series in Ukraine, introducing the Reno16, Reno16 Pro, and Reno16 F models. The lineup blends the striking 3D Pop Planet design with a suite of intelligent AI-powered photography and creativity tools, aiming to deliver a fresh approach to mobile content creation.
Design and Display
The Reno16 series stands out with its bold Pop White colour option, which employs the industry-first HoloVerse 3D technology. Millions of micro‑lenses reconstruct light in space, giving the rear panel a floating, three‑dimensional mist that shifts with the angle of light and movement. The seamless back panel flows into the camera module, reducing dust accumulation and offering a smooth tactile feel.
For one‑handed use, the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro feature a compact 6.32‑inch display housed in an aerospace‑grade aluminium frame, while the Reno16 F steps up to a larger 6.57‑inch screen.
Camera System
Targeting creators, the series offers intuitive shooting and editing experiences. All models sport a 50 MP ultra‑wide selfie camera with a 100‑degree field of view, perfect for group selfies with dynamic perspectives. The rear houses a triple‑camera setup across the lineup: a high‑resolution main sensor with OIS, a telephoto portrait lens with 3.5× optical zoom, and an ultra‑wide shooter for flexible framing. The Reno16 Pro steps up with a 200 MP ultra‑clear main camera, allowing users to crop and re‑frame shots without losing detail.
The new Pop Cam mode lets users apply vintage styles such as Digicam, Instant Film, and Light Leak with a single tap, simplifying the creation of uniquely styled photographs.
The Reno16 series expands creative editing via the new Create hub inside the Gallery app, which bundles AI‑driven tools for personalised storytelling. The AI Remix Collage function lets users combine multiple photos or short videos into multilayered visual compositions with animated stickers, outlines, and text, even extracting moving objects from Live Photos or video to use as stickers. Popout Collage 2.0 pushes elements outside the frame in several directions for dynamic visual effects.
Video creation is equally smooth. The 4K Auto Straighten Video feature keeps the horizon level while walking or moving, and Dual View Video 2.0 delivers enhanced stabilization and seamless lens switching during recording for smoother, more flexible shooting.
AI and Software Features
The series runs on ColorOS 16 and introduces a suite of AI features that make daily interaction more intuitive, personalised, and efficient. For the first time on Reno devices, an AI Snap Key provides quick access to AI Mind Space. A simple press lets users instantly capture and organise on‑screen content. AI Mind Space acts as a personal information hub, helping users store important details, retrieve saved content, and manage everyday information more effectively. Within this space, the AI Bill Manager automatically recognises and organises digital payments and paper receipts into clear expense reports and analytics.
Also featured is AI Mind Pilot, which intelligently coordinates multiple AI models to deliver more relevant assistance. By leveraging information stored in AI Mind Space, AI Mind Pilot can suggest the most suitable AI model for various tasks or allow users to compare responses.
During travel, the AI Menu Translation function significantly eases visits to foreign restaurants by generating visual explanations of overseas dishes instead of plain text translation, helping users navigate unfamiliar menus with confidence.
Battery and Durability
Built for intensive daily use, the Reno16 line‑up packs large‑capacity batteries ranging from 6000 mAh to 7000 mAh in the Reno16 F, ensuring all‑day endurance. Combined with 80 W SUPERVOOC fast charging, the devices keep up with the fast‑paced lifestyle of users who stay constantly connected.
Additional durability features include IP68, IP69, and IP69K dust and water resistance across all models, plus Splash Touch and Glove Touch for operation with wet screens or while wearing gloves.
OPPO Bubble Accessory
Alongside the Reno16 series, OPPO presents the OPPO Bubble – a magnetic companion device designed to extend creative possibilities beyond the smartphone itself. Weighing just 35 grams, the Bubble snaps magnetically onto compatible cases or rings and features a bright AMOLED display that serves as a real‑time rear‑camera monitor. This enables users to preview frames while using the main camera, simplifying selfies, group photos, and creative compositions.
OPPO Bubble can also work as a remote viewfinder and shutter controller from up to 10 metres away, giving users the freedom to experiment with more creative angles. Beyond photography, the Bubble doubles as a stylish everyday accessory when paired with compatible holders or straps. Via a dedicated app, users can personalise the display with images, looping animations, text, and colours that reflect their personality and style.

Xpert Take
OPPO’s Reno16 series demonstrates how distinctive design can be tightly coupled with practical AI‑driven creativity tools to appeal to content‑focused consumers. The 3D Pop Planet finish not only differentiates the devices on shelves but also showcases the company’s investment in novel material technologies. By integrating AI‑enhanced photography, video stabilization, and a unique accessory like the OPPO Bubble, OPPO creates an ecosystem that encourages users to experiment beyond traditional smartphone photography. The aggressive promotional pricing, bundled accessories, and robust durability specifications further strengthen its competitiveness in the mid‑to‑premium segment, potentially pressuring rivals to accelerate their own design‑and‑AI integration efforts.
