Introduction

Oppo launched the Reno15 series earlier this year, and we’ve already reviewed the Reno15 Pro (aka Reno15 Pro Mini) – a compact device with flagship aspirations. And today it’s time to look at the Oppo Reno15, which aims to bring the premium experience of the series to a more affordable price.

The Reno15 Pro keeps the premium build from the model – dual Gorilla Glass 7i panels, aluminum frame, IP69 water proofing, and of course, some great colorways.

The Reno15 sports a reasonably sized 6.59-inch OLED with 1256p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, and HDR10+ support. Underneath is the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip, which is a powerful mid-range platform.

Even though the Reno15 aims for a lower price bracket, there are still three cameras on the back – a 50MP OIS primary for 1x-2x zooming, a 50MP OIS telephoto for 3.5x-7x magnification, and an 8MP ultrawide camera with autofocus.

The selfie kit is the same across the series – a 50MP AF ultrawide-angle camera.

The Reno15 lineup will definitely be remembered for its large capacity batteries. The 15’s cell is the same as the 15 Pro Max – a 6,500mAh one with 80W fast charging capabilities.

The Reno15 boots Android 16 with ColorOS 16.

Not only this. The paper compartment has a transparent silicone case for extra protection if you need it.
