The Oppo Reno16 F 5G is the F-series model in the Reno16 range. It trades the faster chips of its siblings for a larger 6.57-inch screen, a 7,000 mAh battery and a memory card slot, while keeping 80W charging and a telephoto camera. Here is what it offers and who it suits.
This guide is based on published specifications, not hands-on testing. Variants differ by market, so confirm the exact model before you buy. Last updated: September 2026.
Quick verdict
A practical, long-lasting 5G phone for people who want a big screen, a very large battery and fast charging without paying for a premium chip. Oppo's spec page does not list an IP rating, so do not assume it is water resistant.

Display and design
The 6.57-inch AMOLED screen has a full HD+ resolution and refreshes at up to 120Hz, with a typical high brightness of 1,400 nits. It is protected by Crystal Guard glass. The phone is about 8.4 to 8.6mm thick and weighs 195g to 197g, which is reasonable for a 7,000 mAh battery. The Pop White version is slightly thicker than the two purple versions.
Performance and software
The Dimensity 7300-Energy is an efficiency-focused mid-range chip. It is comfortable with everyday apps, video streaming and casual games, though it is not aimed at the heaviest gaming. RAM options are 8GB or 12GB, and storage is 128GB or 256GB on UFS 3.1. Unlike the Reno16 and Reno16 Pro, the Reno16 F supports a memory card. It runs ColorOS 16.
Cameras
The 50MP main camera and the 50MP telephoto lens both have two-axis optical stabilisation. Reports put the telephoto at up to 3.5x optical zoom, while Oppo's page lists a 26-degree field of view, so treat the exact zoom factor with care. An 8MP ultrawide covers wide shots. The 50MP front camera has a 100-degree view. Video goes up to 4K at 30fps, with 1080p at 60fps on the rear camera and 720p at 240fps for slow motion.
Battery and charging
The 7,000 mAh battery is the headline. It should comfortably last a full day of heavy use and often more, and 80W SUPERVOOC charging shortens the wait when you do need to plug in.
Strengths
- Very large 7,000 mAh battery with 80W charging
- Bright 6.57-inch 120Hz AMOLED display
- Stabilised main and telephoto cameras
- Memory card slot
Weaknesses
- No IP rating listed on the spec page
- Mid-range chip, not built for the heaviest games
- No 3.5mm headphone jack; NFC depends on the region
Who should buy it
Students, commuters and anyone who wants a phone that lasts long between charges and has room to expand storage. For sealed IP68/IP69K protection and a faster chip, look at the Reno16 5G.

How it compares
The A7 Pro 5G has an 8,000 mAh battery but only 45W charging and a single 50MP camera, while the Reno15 5G uses a stronger Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip with a 6,500 mAh battery.
Oppo Reno16 F 5G price in Nigeria
Phone prices in Nigeria move with the exchange rate, the RAM and storage variant and whether a phone is a local or imported unit, so we do not print a fixed figure here that would soon be wrong.
