Oppo has announced that its Reno16 smartphone series will make its global debut on June 25, ending speculation about the launch timeline after the company recently began teasing the devices through a partnership with K-pop group BABYMONSTER.

Oppo Reno16 Series to Debut on June 25
The Chinese smartphone maker confirmed the launch date in an official announcement, following a teaser campaign that highlighted the company’s collaboration with BABYMONSTER as the new global ambassador for the Reno brand.
The Reno16 lineup is expected to include the standard Reno16 and Reno16 Pro models, although Oppo has yet to reveal complete specifications for the global variants.
New Design Inspired by Cosmic Themes
According to Oppo, the Reno16 series features a new “3D Pop Planet Design,” which draws inspiration from cosmic imagery and individual expression.
The company said the design philosophy aims to create a distinctive visual identity while appealing to younger consumers seeking both style and functionality.
In a statement, Oppo Overseas Chief Marketing Officer Ling Liu said the Reno16 series combines advanced technology with creativity and personal expression.
He added that the partnership with BABYMONSTER marks a new chapter for the Reno brand’s global expansion.
AI Features Expected
Oppo has also highlighted new AI-powered creative experiences as part of the Reno16 lineup, although the company has not yet disclosed detailed information about the features.
Artificial intelligence tools have become a key focus for smartphone manufacturers as brands seek to differentiate their devices in an increasingly competitive market.
Global Models May Differ From Chinese Versions
The Reno16 and Reno16 Pro were first introduced in China in May.
However, industry reports suggest the global variants may differ from their Chinese counterparts in terms of hardware specifications and features.
Oppo has not confirmed what changes, if any, will be made to the international models.
More details, including pricing, specifications and market availability, are expected to be announced during the global launch event on June 25.
