Oppo Reno 16 Will Start at €899 with Solid Specs, but No Magnets for Its Neat 'Bubble' Screen

The phones add a 200MP main camera on the Pro and a $129 Bubble accessory that doubles as a rear-camera viewfinder.

  • Oppo launched the Reno 16 series globally, pricing the Reno 16 Pro at €1,099 and the base Reno 16 at €899, with both devices releasing July 3.
  • The Reno 16 Pro distinguishes itself with a 200MP main camera and OIS, while the Reno 16 uses a 50MP sensor; both incorporate the MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Super platform with up to 12GB RAM.
  • Oppo also introduced the Bubble, a €129 magnetic wireless display accessory that functions as a camera viewfinder up to 33 feet away, enabling rear-camera selfies.
  • However, the phone lacks Qi2 magnetic support, requiring users to attach an adhesive ring to the Bubble; Oppo executive Pete Lau noted the accessory requires a case to function properly.
  • Pushing into premium territory, the series incorporates ColorOS 16 and an AI-focused Snap Key to maintain competitiveness in the upper-mid-range market while offering creator-focused tools.

Oppo’s Bubble Screen Steals Spotlight From Reno 16 Launch – channelnews

Oppo has launched its Reno 16 series globally, led by the Reno 16 Pro, alongside a quirky magnetic second-screen accessory called the Oppo Bubble and new Enco Air5s earbuds. The Reno 16 Pro is being pitched as a creator-focused Android handset, with a 200MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, 50MP ultra-wide, 50MP telephoto portrait camera and a 50MP front camera. It also features a 6.32-inch OLED display with up to 144Hz refresh rate, MediaTek’s Dimensity 8550 Super chipset, 12GB RAM, 512GB storage, IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance and an 80W SuperVOOC charging system. In Europe, the Reno 16 Pro is priced at €1,099, with a launch offer reducing it to €899 until July 31. Pre-orders are open now, with release scheduled for July 3. The headline accessory is the Oppo Bubble, a 1.73-inch circular OLED touchscreen that attaches to the rear of compatible Oppo phones and acts as a selfie viewfinder or wireless camera remote. The tiny 7mm-thick device connects wirelessly, has a 550mAh battery, a USB-C port for charging and a claimed range of around 10 metres. It can access the Oppo camera app, switch between zoom options and trigger photos or video. However, the Bubble also highlights a major Android ecosystem problem: Oppo still has not built Qi2-style magnets into its phones. Users must rely on a magnetic case or stick an included magnetic ring to the back of the handset. The accessory is also Oppo-only, working with the Reno 16 series and selected Reno and Find X models, limiting its appeal beyond existing Oppo customers. It is priced at €129. Oppo also announced the Enco Air5s, its first semi-in-ear earbuds with active noise cancellation. The earbuds weigh 3.9g each, feature 12mm dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 6.0, adaptive ANC, AI Translate, dual-device connectivity, IP55 water resistance and up to 48 hours of playback with the charging case. Local Australian availability and pricing for the phone and earbuds have not yet been confirmed.

Oppo today unveiled its Reno16 series of mid-range smartphones for Germany. The new devices run ColorOS 16, based on Android 16.
