Oppo is once again going to launch another flagship-level smartphone in China, the “Oppo Reno 16 series”, where it has rumors to be launched in June, 2026. Oppo has given two model specs: “Oppo Reno 16 Pro and Oppo Reno 16“. Oppo Reno 16 series mainly focuses on premium design, advanced AI-powered imaging, and high-performance hardware. This device is going to be a successor to the Oppo Reno 15 series.
