OPPO Kenya announced the launch of the Reno16 series on October 26, 2026, offering the Reno16 5G at KSh79,999 and the Reno16 F 5G at KSh69,999.
Pre-orders are available from October 26 to November 4, 2026 through OPPO stores, authorised dealers and e-commerce platforms.
Both models feature a 50 MP main camera, a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3.5× optical zoom, optical image stabilisation, a 50 MP selfie camera, a 120 Hz display, 80 W charging, ColorOS 16, a charger and a case, and they carry dust- and water-resistance ratings up to IP69K.
The Reno16 5G runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor, has a 6.32-inch screen with a resolution of 2640 × 1216 pixels and 1,800 nits brightness, a 6,700 mAh battery, records 4K video at 60 fps, supports eSIM and lacks a microSD slot.
The Reno16 F 5G uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Energy chip, a 6.57-inch display at 2372 × 1080 pixels and 1,400 nits, a 7,000 mAh battery, records 4K video at 30 fps, accepts a microSD card and offers a larger screen for video consumption.
Both phones share the 3D Pop Planet design, with the Pop White version employing OPPO’s HoloVerse 3D technology that creates a floating nebula effect using millions of micro-lenses, a patented “3D imaging film” licensed from Shengyin Optoelectronics, which OPPO claims was the first such effect on a phone as of June 25, 2026.
“Design has become an important part of how people express their individuality, and with the Reno16 Series, we wanted to bring that expression to life through a smartphone that stands out,” said Fredrique Achieng, PR Manager at OPPO Kenya.
Pre-order customers receive OPPO true-wireless earbuds, six months of screen-protection, a 10,000 mAh OPPO power bank and three months of Gemini Pro with 5 TB of storage, a Google AI Pro subscription valued at KSh11,100.
OPPO notes that the Kenyan Reno16 is the CPH2865 model with a 6,700 mAh battery, differing from the 6,000 mAh version sold in Europe, and that the Reno16 has been on sale in other markets since July 2026.
