OPPO Reno 16 series price leaked through European retailer ahead of global launch
After officially debuting in China last month, the OPPO Reno 16 series appears to be inching closer to international markets, with detailed pricing and variant information surfacing on a European retailer’s site. While 91mobiles exclusively revealed the lineup’s specifications for global variants a few days back, the phones comprising the Reno 16, Reno 16 Pro, and Reno 16 FS were recently sighted on Epto, an Italian retailer. The retailer’s listing gives us a hint of the pricing, at least for the European region.

Here’s how much OPPO Reno 16 series could cost in Europe
According to the Italian retailer Epto, the standard OPPO Reno 16 5G could cost around EUR 890.91 (approx. Rs 98,200) and will be available in Black and White finishes. On the other hand, the listing reveals that the OPPO Reno 16 Pro could sit at EUR 1,087.90 (approx. Rs 1,19,900), also available in Black and White colourways. Lastly, the budget-oriented Reno 16 FS could retail for EUR 791.90 (approx. Rs. 87,300) in the colour options as the Reno 16 and Reno 16 Pro.
If we’re to believe the pricing, with the figures rounded up, the Reno 16 series could see a significant price bump compared to the Reno 15 series. But then, European prices are generally inflated, especially compared to Asian countries, even with the surge in memory costs factored in. The OPPO Reno 15 currently sells in India for Rs 47,999 for the base 8+256GB model, while the Reno 15 Pro sits at Rs 67,999 for 12+256GB storage.
Given the current component pricing situation, the Reno 16 series is likely to command significantly higher prices in India, since even existing phones across all segments are seeing price hikes on a continuous basis.
