Product Information

You don’t get an app tray (by default) or Google Feed to the left of the homescreen, but that at least serves to drive home the simplicity of the offering. This is clearly a phone aimed at smartphone beginners, and they’re unlikely to get too lost here. The Oppo A16s features a so-called triple camera system, which actually equates to a single 13-megapixel wide camera and two 2-megapixel assistants. The latter two handle depth and macro duties, which means there’s no ultra-wide or telephoto provision.

The front of the phone similarly confirms that you’re dealing with a budget device. The bezels are chunky, especially the phone’s elongated chin. Meanwhile, the display notch is of the old-school teardrop design, meaning it encroaches from the top bezel.We said much the same thing about the Moto G22 recently, of course, but that phone at least has a 90Hz refresh rate compared to the A16s’s standard 60Hz. Within the context of such limited components and performance, however, Oppo’s choice was probably the right one. La cámara trasera del A16 tiene 13 MP, 2 MP (Macro) y 2 MP (Profundidad). La cámara captura imágenes de 13 MP de forma predeterminada. La cámara frontal es de 8MP. Algunas especificaciones de producto y descripciones pueden variar debido a cambios de proveedores.

Reduce lagging” does not mean absolutely no freezing. Due to varying network environments, user habits, and other factors, actual user experience may differ. El tiempo de reposo del Modo de Súper Ahorro de Energía simula seis aplicaciones seleccionadas en funcionamiento en Modo de Súper Ahorro de Energía. Los tiempos de reposo aplicados individualmente asumen que no hay otra Aplicación seleccionada y/o en funcionamiento en Modo de Súper Ahorro de Energía. ColorOS 11 runs on top of Android 11 here, which isn’t the latest software available. It’s about middle of the road when it comes to Android skins, with a relatively lightweight feel and not too many annoying in-your-face intrusions.

Not surprisingly, there’s no IP rating included with the A16s, so you’ll want to keep it well away from water and dusty environments. Todas las imágenes del producto son solo de referencia. Por favor, referir al producto específico para tener exactitud. All data comes from OPPO-designed technical parameters, and test data from laboratories and suppliers. In actual circumstances, data will differ slightly, depending on the test software version, specific testing environment, and specific product version. Unfortunately, I was unable to run the usual TR benchmark test, which entails running the 3DMark Wild Life stress test three times in a row (for an hour in total), since the MediaTek Helio G35 simply wasn’t up to the task. Just like that phone, the Oppo A16s wouldn’t even run 3DMark’s Wild Life test, while in the Slingshot Extreme test it scored to the Moto G22’s 460.

With a resolution of 720 x 1600 (HD+), the Oppo A16s display falls short on sharpness, too. This manifests in everything from homescreen icons to Netflix streams, and especially with web content. There’s a general fuzziness to everything that you do on the Oppo A16s.Super Power Saving Mode’s standby time simulates six applications selected and running in Super Power Saving Mode. Individual application standby times assume that no other apps are selected and/or running in Super Power Saving Mode. Dazzling Mode is only supported on the 4GB+64GB version. Whether it is supported depends on the specific product version and country. It was an underwhelming chip in that phone – and, sure enough, the Oppo A16s doesn’t feel like a fast phone in the slightest. Scrolling between homescreens, pulling up menus, and hopping between multiple apps feels somewhat ponderous. Credit where it’s due, though: this is a genuine two-dayer, even if you’re a bit of a media hound. This is driven home by the fact that an hour of Netflix streaming sapped just 4% of a full charge, while an hour of music streaming didn’t even manage to drop the figure a single percentage point.
