Introduction
Oppo launched the Reno15 series earlier this year, and we’ve already reviewed the Reno15 Pro (a.k.a Reno15 Pro mini) – a compact device with flagship aspirations. And today it’s time to look into the Oppo Reno15, which aims to bring the series premium experience to a more affordable price point.
The Reno15 keeps the premium build from the Pro models – dual Gorilla Glass 7i panels, aluminum frame, IP69 water proofing, and, of course, some stunning colorways.
The Reno15 has 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, a powerful mid-range platform.
Even if the Reno15 is aiming 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 remains the same across the entire series – a 50MP AF ultrawide-angle camera.
The Reno15 lineup will be remembered for its large-capacity batteries for sure. The 15 has the same cell as the 15 Pro Max – a 6,500mAh one with 80W fast charging capabilities.
The Reno15 boots Android 16 with ColorOS 16.

Unboxing the Oppo Reno15
The Reno15 ships inside a large gray box with Oppo’s signature Aurora effect on top of it. Inside you will find the phone, an 8A-rated USB A-to-C cable, and an 80W SuperVOOC power adapter.
That’s not all. The paper compartment has a transparent silicone case for extra safety, if you need it.
