JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – OPPO, the Chinese consumer electronics manufacturer and technology company, has showcased the Reno16 F 5G, its latest product in the South African market.

Chen Hui, Vice President and Sales Director, addressed the media at an event north of Johannesburg.

He said the smartphone had already exceeded all internal targets.

“And it’s just the beginning,” Hui said.

He disclosed that the company would launch more products during the last quarter of 2026.

“At the same time, we are planning to upgrade our overall presence and in-store display,” Hui said.

Oppo launched the smartphone in South Africa recently following its global release.

“The new Oppo Reno16 F 5G is here with a camera to show off,” Liam Faurie, Head of Go-to-Market and Operations at Oppo South Africa, said.

“People are doing so much more with their phone cameras than just taking photos, so we made this camera for creativity. We think that’s what consumers want from their smartphones today.”

The Reno16 F 5G is available in South Africa from R599 (US$36.57 or ¥244.95) per month over 36 months, or R16 999 upfront, through participating sales channels including Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Cell C and Takealot.

During the launch period, customers can also receive an OPPO Bubble or a realme Watch 5 smartwatch through Oppo Rewards, along with six months of Oppo Care Screen Repair Service Warranty, a SUPERVOOC charger, a screen protector and a phone cover.

The launch bundle is subject to the applicable offer terms.

The device comprises a 50MP main camera, 50MP 3.5x telephoto portrait camera, 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera and 8MP ultra-wide camera.

It is available in Pop White and Twilight Violet.
