Reviewing the OPPO Reno 16 Pro, one of the best (upper) mid-range smartphones I've tested in 2026, after over a week of full-time use (including a Sweden trip). Here's an in-depth look at the OPPO Reno 16 Pro's camera abilities, gaming smarts, battery life and other bits.
Rivalling the Xiaomi 17T and Honor 600 Pro in that top-end mid-range phone segment, this fresh compact handset boasts a new mini design vs older models. The OPPO Reno 16 thankfully hasn't sacrificed battery capacity, but how's the gaming chops with more intensive Android titles like Wuthering Waves?
Despite the lack of Hasselblad branding here, you still get a capable triple-lens rear camera. The OPPO Reno 16 Pro boasts a 200MP main shooter as well as a 50MP telephoto lens and ultra-wide. You can shoot great looking video with 4K HDR smarts, across the range of sensors. And oh yes, there's obligatory AI editing shenanigans.
So that's my review of the OPPO Reno 16 Pro 5G, let me know what you think below!
