Pre‑launch

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?

Photographers / zoom lovers
Wait for launch reviews—on paper the camera stack looks promising (200 MP + periscope on higher trims), but image processing will make or break it.
Heavy users / battery‑first
Signs point to excellent endurance thanks to 6,2xx–6,3xx mAh cells; worth waiting if battery life is your #1.
Gamers
If it indeed uses Dimensity 8450, performance should be solid‑plus, but not top‑tier. If you need peak FPS now, a Snapdragon 8‑series flagship may still be better.
Deal‑hunters (India)
Real discounts will only be clear at the India announcement; expect bank/EMI offers at launch rather than deep price cuts. A clean ₹39–42K street price with bank offers for the base model would be competitive.

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.
