Oppo has officially launched two new mid-range smartphones, the Reno 15 and Reno 15F. These models focus on delivering high performance, a large 6,500mAh battery, and competitive pricing. Oppo aims to provide users with reliable devices that handle daily activities and multimedia use effectively.
Both phones come with fast 80W charging that replenishes the battery in a short time. This feature is especially useful for users who need long-lasting power but limited downtime when charging. Fast charging combined with the large battery capacity supports extended use for gaming, streaming, and productivity.
Display and Design
The Reno 15 sports a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with Full HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. This display offers smooth visuals and sharp details, enhancing video playback and gaming experiences. Meanwhile, the Reno 15F features a slightly smaller 6.57-inch AMOLED panel but maintains similar display quality for immersive viewing.
Both devices run on ColorOS 16, based on Android 16, ensuring access to the latest apps and improved security features. In-display fingerprint sensors add a layer of convenience and safety for unlocking the phone and conducting secure transactions.
Performance and Hardware Specifications
The key difference between these two models lies in their chipsets. The Reno 15 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. It offers two configurations: 12GB RAM with either 256GB or 512GB storage. This setup uses fast LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage technology for quick data access.
The Reno 15F is equipped with the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip and comes in multiple memory/storage options: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB, and 12GB/512GB. It uses LPDDR4x RAM, which still performs well in its class, paired with UFS 3.1.
Camera Capabilities
Oppo gives considerable attention to camera versatility in the Reno 15 series. The Reno 15 has a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP main camera with autofocus and optical image stabilization (OIS), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and autofocus, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera with autofocus. These lenses allow users to capture everything from expansive landscapes to close-up details from far distances.
The Reno 15F offers a different rear camera array: a 50MP main sensor with autofocus and OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP macro sensor, suitable for everyday photography needs. Both phones feature a 50MP front camera with autofocus to ensure clear selfies and sharp video calls.
Battery Life and Connectivity
The 6,500mAh battery on both devices ensures long-lasting usage and is well-suited for power users. The 80W fast charging capability enables rapid recharge times, minimizing interruptions during daily routines.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, USB Type-C, and dual SIM support. Both phones also feature stereo speakers that deliver richer audio experiences for media consumption and gaming.
Color Variants and Pricing
The Oppo Reno 15, essentially a global variant of the Reno 15c launched earlier in China, comes in Aurora White and Sky Blue colors. Pricing in Taiwan starts at around $580 USD for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, and approximately $700 USD for the 12GB/512GB variant.
The Reno 15F is a new international model with color options like Afterglow Pink, Twilight Blue, and Aurora Blue. Although official pricing details are yet to be announced, the Reno 15F is expected to be more competitively priced and offers a wider range of memory configurations.
Oppo’s latest Reno series models highlight the company’s focus on balancing strong performance, impressive battery endurance, and camera flexibility at prices accessible to a broad audience. These releases underline Oppo’s strategy to capture significant market share in the mid-tier smartphone segment with devices that meet varied user needs without compromising on quality.
