Introduction

Oppo's Reno15 series is an exciting new lineup of premium smartphones consisting of both large and compact devices. Today we will explore the Oppo Reno15 Pro, also known as Reno15 Pro Mini in some markets.

The Reno15 models have gone global, but there might be some confusion about their names. The international version of the Oppo Reno15 Pro is known as Oppo Reno15 Pro Mini in India and possibly the whole of Southeast Asia. That's the reason we are going to call it Reno15 Pro (mini) from now on. Specs-wise, there is no difference between the two devices.

Oppo Reno15 Pro (mini) is one of those rare compact flagship-level smartphones. It packs a 6.32-inch OLED with high resolution and high refresh rate, and it employs the Dimensity 8450 chip.

The camera department is properly good - there is a 200MP OIS primary, followed by a 50MP OIS 3.5x telephoto, and a 50MP AF ultrawide camera on the back. The selfie imager uses a 50MP sensor with an ultrawide-angle autofocus lens, another rarity nowadays.

Finally, the cherry on cake is a large 6,200mAh battery capable of up to 80W SuperVOOC wired charging.

The Reno15 Pro (mini) also boots the latest Android 16 with ColorOS 16.
