Oppo Reno 16 Series Early Details Emerged Online

Tipster Debayan Roy (@Gadgetsdata) on X claimed that Oppo's Reno 16 series will include standard Reno 16, Reno 16 Pro, Reno 16 Pro Mini and Reno 16C models. They are tipped to include a 'Plus Key'. Oppo's sister brand, OnePlus, has used this dedicated customisable button in its latest handsets, including the OnePlus 15. The button, which enables AI features and launches apps, selects profiles and camera controls, debuted with the OnePlus 13s.

The tipster states that the Oppo Reno 16 Pro series' camera module closely resembles that of an already launched smartphone (though not an iPhone). However, the design is still not finalised. The tipster also mentions that the OnePlus 15s will launch in India toward the end of the second quarter or sometime in the third quarter.

Oppo unveiled the Reno 15, Reno 15 Pro, and Reno 15 Pro Mini in India in January this year with a starting price of Rs. 45,999. The Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro were released in the Chinese market in November last year.
