Tech Desk: Smartphone enthusiasts in India could soon get their hands on a more affordable OPPO Reno 16, as reports suggest a new 8GB+128GB storage variant is slated for an imminent launch. This new configuration aims to lower the entry barrier for the premium series, with the OPPO Reno 16 8GB 128GB India price tipped to be around ₹60,000-62,000.

Currently, the Reno 16 5G is available in India with an 8GB+256GB model priced at ₹66,999 and a 12GB+256GB variant at ₹72,999. The rumored 128GB version would make the device more accessible, though it might face stiff competition from OPPO’s older Reno 15 Pro Mini, which offers more RAM and storage at a similar price point. Additionally, OPPO is reportedly preparing its F35 series for launch, expanding its portfolio further.

The Reno 16 boasts a 6.32-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 1,800 nits peak brightness. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, coupled with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. For photography, it features a versatile triple 50MP rear camera setup (main with OIS, ultrawide, telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom and OIS) and a 50MP front camera, all supporting 4K 60fps video recording.

Rounding out its features, the Reno 16 packs a substantial 6,700mAh battery with 80W SUPERVOOC charging and an IP69K rating. While the 128GB storage might feel limited for some at this price, the overall package offers a compelling blend of performance and premium features, making the final OPPO Reno 16 8GB 128GB India price a critical factor for prospective buyers.
