Oppo's upcoming global phone leaks with Snapdragon chipset

The Oppo Reno series is a mid-range lineup of smartphones. Oppo launched the Reno 16 series for the Chinese market in May 2026 with two models: the standard Reno 16 and the Reno 16 Pro.

The Reno 16 series is also expected to launch in the global market. Previously, the global Reno 16 Pro secured multiple regulatory certifications across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Now, the standard Reno 16 has reportedly surfaced on Geekbench, revealing its early performance details.

The global Reno 16 model carries the model number "CPH2865" and is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 with 12GB of RAM. For context, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 is a mid-range processor based on a 4nm process, found in phones including the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro (curr. $599 on Amazon). The Reno 16's global variant scored 1,240 and 3,994 points in single-core and multi-core CPU tests, respectively.

On the other hand, the Chinese variant of the Reno 16 uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8550 Super chipset. It features a 6.3-inch AMOLED display, a 200MP main camera, and a 6,700mAh battery. The phone starts at CNY 3,499 (~$516) for the 12GB/256GB storage configuration.

So far, there is no official confirmation regarding the global release of the Reno 16 series. A previous leak also suggested that the global Reno 16 Pro may feature a downgraded chipset and reduced battery capacity compared to its Chinese counterpart.
