Here’s the early read on OPPO’s upcoming Reno 15 series based on teasers and credible leaks. Treat all details as provisional until the official launch.
Camera (early read)
Rumored Hardware: triple rear setup with a 200 MP primary (Samsung HP5) + 50 MP ultrawide + 50 MP periscope telephoto (on higher trims). A 50 MP selfie is also tipped. Expect the same design language across Reno 15 / 15 Pro, with the Pro most likely getting the best optics.
What that means: If the 200 MP sensor is real and paired with decent binning + OIS, expect strong daylight detail and competitive 2× in‑sensor zoom. The rumored periscope should help low‑noise 5×–10× shots—historically a weak spot for mid‑premium phones.
Unknowns: exact sensor sizes, lens apertures, OIS on all modules, and OPPO’s computational tuning (ColorOS 16). We need real‑world tests to judge HDR and night mode.
Performance (early read)
Rumored Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8450, possibly the same family as the Reno 14 Pro, per leaks/bench sightings. If true, expect upper‑midrange CPU/GPU—more than enough for social/video, with medium‑high gaming settings, but probably short of true flagship chips.
Battery & charging (early read)
Capacity: leaks point to ~6,200 mAh on the vanilla Reno 15; the Pro is tipped around 6,300 mAh. That’s big for the class and suggests 1.5–2 days for mixed use.
Charging: whispers of 80 W wired and ~50 W wireless on the Pro. Final wattage and included charger TBD.
Design & durability (teasers/leaks)
Multiple colourways (Starlight Bow, Aurora Blue, Canele Brown; Pro adds Honey Gold), and listings with up to 16 GB RAM / 1 TB storage. Some reports also mention IP68/69 water resistance (to be confirmed at launch).
Pricing & “discount review”
China: Official e‑shop listings opened pre‑orders; retailers like JD.com are dangling token‑preorder freebies (e.g., Tencent Video membership, themed merch, limited‑edition accessories). These are value adds, not straight price cuts.
India launch window: widely tipped for December 2025–early 2026. Expectation‑only prices for the base Reno 15 hover around ₹39,990 on tracker sites; treat these as placeholders until OPPO India announces MOP/MRP.
Likely India offers: bank cashback, no‑cost EMI, and bundle freebies during launch/festive windows rather than big flat discounts. OPPO’s recent India promos leaned on instant bank offers + EMI rather than permanent price drops; expect similar at Reno 15 launch.
Early verdict: should you wait?
At a glance (rumor sheet)
Main camera — Rumors point to a three-camera rear setup led by a 200 MP Samsung HP5 primary sensor. That’s expected to be paired with a 50 MP ultrawide module and, on higher trims, a 50 MP periscope telephoto for longer reach.
Selfie — The front camera is tipped to be 50 MP, which should offer high-resolution portraits and crop-friendly results if the final tuning is good.
