Oppo Reno 16 FS review: good cameras, weak SoC for $700

NotebookCheck reviewed the Oppo Reno 16 FS at $700: a versatile camera setup with telephoto, 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, microSD slot and updates until 2032. Main drawbacks are the slow MediaTek Dimensity 7300, Wi-Fi 6 without 6 GHz and 92 Hz PWM flicker at low brightness.

• MediaTek Dimensity 7300 is usually found in $400 phones, not $700 ones
• Wi-Fi 6 only, no 6-GHz band: speeds top out at 421 Mbit/s
• AMOLED exceeds 1000 cd/m² but flickers at 92 Hz PWM at minimum brightness
• Android 16 with ColorOS 16, updates promised until 2032
