OPPO Reno 16 will feature the new Dimensity 8500: first leaks surface

A few days have passed since the launch of the Reno 15 series in Italy (and a few months since the Chinese release) but already we are looking at the future of the lineup. A well-known insider has shared some details in advance about the next OPPO Reno 16: the mid-range will continue to rely on MediaTek’s Dimensity, but there will also be several novelties.

OPPO Reno 16 and 16 Pro are still far from debut, but leaks have already started

The first details arrive from the usual Digital Chat Station, a Chinese insider we know very well. The leaker claims that the OPPO Reno 16 series has entered the testing phase: that means that most of the hardware specifications should be final, despite quite a long time before it hits the market.

Based on what has emerged, the launch could take place around mid-year, at least for China. It remains to see when it will make its appearance in Italy, but for now the timing is really premature.

Returning to the technical part, the series would rely on the Dimensity 8500, a chipset freshly launched, which would replace the current 8450. The SoC — manufactured on a 4 nm process and capable of a maximum frequency of 3.4 GHz — has found space aboard the Redmi Turbo 5 just these days.

Proprio come avvenuto con Reno 15 e 15 Pro cinesi, i prossimi Reno 16 e 16 Pro dovrebbero avere display differenti – da 6.32″ e 6.78″ di diagonale. Il comparto fotografico non cambierebbe: dovremmo ritrovare un triple-camera setup con un sensore da 200 MP e un teleobiettivo periscopico da 50 MP. Probabilmente OPPO li aggiornerà con soluzioni più recenti, ma per ora non è emerso altro.

Per il design si vocifera di una struttura in metallo, con un corpo sottile e leggero; il display presenterebbe cornici contenute su quattro lati. Ad oggi questo è tutto: mancano dettagli più concreti e informazioni sul design, ma se i lavori sono iniziati davvero allora è solo questione di tempo prima che spuntino indiscrezioni più spinte.
