OPPO Reno16 Pro 5G smartphone 6.32" 12/512 GB, Starlight Black

A 6.32″ diagonal is on the compact side for today's phones, so it works well one-handed and slips into a narrower pocket. The AMOLED panel has a resolution of 2640 × 1216 pixels, which at this size means a very dense, sharp image. Self-lit pixels give deep blacks and strong contrast, both in video and when you use dark mode.

The phone is built around MediaTek's Dimensity 8550 Super processor. 12 GB of RAM keeps plenty of apps alive in the background, so switching between them does not force them to reload every time. 512 GB of storage covers a large photo and video library, downloaded films and games that often take several gigabytes each.

The rear camera set combines a 200 MP main camera with two 50 MP cameras. The high pixel count leaves room to crop a photo later without losing detail too quickly. On the front sits a 50 MP camera, a much higher resolution than a typical selfie camera, which also works well for video calls. The manufacturer does not list lens types or video recording modes.

The battery holds 6700 mAh, which is a lot for a 6.32″ phone. In everyday use that means fewer trips to the charger, and more reserve when travelling or on a long working day. The phone weighs 0.19 kg. Charging power and wireless charging support are not listed by the manufacturer.

The Reno16 Pro 5G supports 5G networks and two SIM cards, so a work and a personal number can share one phone. At home and in the office it connects to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6), while earbuds and a smartwatch pair over Bluetooth 5.4. The operating system is Android 16.

The OPPO Reno16 Pro 5G suits people who want a smaller phone without giving up a big battery, lots of storage and high-resolution cameras. The 50 MP front camera makes it interesting for anyone who takes many selfies or makes frequent video calls, and the dark Starlight Black body keeps a low profile.
