Oppo rolled out Reno 16 Pro and Reno 16 in China last month as the flagship Reno series smartphones. Now, the tech giant is set to launch both smartphones in the Indian market. The company, on June 21, dropped a post on X to tease new details about the upcoming phone ahead of its official launch.
The tech firm revealed several design elements, display specifications, durability features and the introduction of a new AI Snap Key feature for the Reno lineup.
Oppo also unveiled two more devices in the country. Alongside the Reno 16 series, Oppo is launching a Bubble camera accessory and the Oppo Enco Air 5 wireless earbuds.
Oppo Reno 16 Series Design
The company has confirmed that the Oppo Reno 16c will accompany the standard model in India. Both handsets will be offered in Starry White, Stellar Purple, and Twilight Violet colour options. The standard model will boast a HoloVerse 3D design, a Floating 3D Glitter finish, and a Dynamic Stellar Ring around the deco, along with a dedicated AI Snap Key.
According to the company, the Reno 16 series features a new 3D Pop Planet Design that creates a three-dimensional visual effect on the rear panel. Oppo says the effect is achieved through a dual-layer optical structure that combines a graphic layer with a microlens array to create a floating planet-like appearance under the glass surface.
The smartphones also feature a one-piece cold-sculpted design along with a Dynamic Stellar Ring around the camera module. The company says the design changes appearance based on viewing angle and lighting conditions.
