Oppo’s upcoming Reno 15 lineup

Oppo’s upcoming Reno 15 lineup — including the Reno 15, Reno 15 Pro, and the newly introduced Reno 15 Pro Mini — marks a clear shift toward premium photography and extreme durability. After debuting in China in November 2025, the range is set to arrive in India on January 8, 2026, targeting users who want flagship-grade cameras without jumping into ultra-premium pricing.

One of the biggest talking points this year is build quality. Oppo has reinforced the phones with an aerospace-grade aluminium frame and added a rare triple-layer protection rating (IP66, IP68, and IP69), meaning the devices can handle dust, submersion, and even high-pressure water jets — something still uncommon in this segment.

Display Experience

All three models feature 120Hz AMOLED screens with 1.5K resolution, ensuring smooth visuals and crisp detail.

The Reno 15 Pro gets the largest panel at 6.78 inches, paired with ultra-thin bezels measuring just 1.15mm and protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The standard Reno 15 offers a 6.59-inch display, while the Pro Mini caters to compact-phone fans with a 6.32-inch screen.

Brightness is another highlight, with Pro variants pushing up to 3,600 nits, making outdoor visibility a non-issue.

Camera-Centric Design

Staying true to Oppo’s “camera-first” philosophy, the Reno 15 series goes all-in on imaging hardware. Every model shares the same powerful triple-camera setup:

A 200MP primary camera using Samsung’s HP5 sensor with optical image stabilisation

A 50MP ultra-wide lens for landscapes and group shots

A 50MP periscope telephoto camera capable of 3x–3.5x optical zoom and up to 120x digital zoom

For selfies and video calls, Oppo includes a 50MP front camera that can record in 4K, putting it ahead of many rivals in this price bracket.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the lineup is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 processor, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for fast app loading and smooth multitasking. On the software side, the phones ship with Android 16 layered with ColorOS 16, offering the latest UI features straight out of the box.

Battery and Charging

Battery capacity is another strong point:

The Reno 15 Pro packs a massive 6,500mAh battery, supported by 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging

The Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro Mini feature slightly smaller 6,200mAh batteries, still backed by 80W fast charging

Expected Pricing in India

While Oppo hasn’t confirmed official pricing yet, early estimates suggest:

Reno 15 could launch below ₹50,000

Reno 15 Pro Mini may land around ₹59,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant

Reno 15 Pro is expected to command a higher premium, likely priced above the previous Reno Pro launch level.
