Design and Display
The Reno16 uses an aluminum frame with a glass or composite plastic back, giving it a more premium feel.
It also supports dual Nano-SIM and eSIM.

The Reno16 features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 3,600 nits peak brightness.
The Nord 6 offers a larger 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a faster 165Hz refresh rate, Ultra HDR support, and stronger Crystal Guard protection with a higher Mohs hardness rating.
For multimedia and gaming, the Nord 6 provides a smoother and more immersive experience. The Reno16 has a sharper pixel density and a more compact form factor.
Performance and Battery
The Reno16 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset with UFS 3.1 storage, handling everyday tasks and casual gaming well.
The Nord 6 steps up with the flagship Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor and faster UFS 4.1 storage, paired with the Adreno 825 GPU for demanding games and multitasking.
