OPPO Reno 15 Series Rumored for January 6 Launch in India – Triple Cameras, Big Batteries, and a Mini Model?
Hey everyone, December 22, 2025 – the rumor mill is spinning fast again, and this time it's OPPO's turn. Fresh leaks suggest the OPPO Reno 15 series could launch in India as early as January 6, 2026 – right alongside Realme's event, making the first week of the year super exciting for mid-range phone fans.
Reno 15 (The Balanced One)
- Display: 6.59-inch 1.5K OLED, 120Hz refresh rate – compact size with sharp, smooth visuals.
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 – efficient mid-range chip, great for daily use and casual gaming.
- Cameras:
- Rear triple: 50MP main + 8MP (likely ultrawide) + 50MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom
- Front: 50MP selfie
- Battery: 6500mAh with 80W fast charging – solid endurance, quick top-ups.
This feels like the "practical" choice – smaller screen for one-hand use, capable performance, and a versatile camera setup with real zoom.
Reno 15 Pro (The Camera King)
- Display: Larger 6.78-inch 1.5K OLED, 120Hz – immersive for media and gaming.
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 8450 – powerful mid-to-high-end chip, should handle heavy tasks and gaming well.
- Cameras:
- Rear: 200MP main (crazy detail) + ultrawide + 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto
- Front: Likely 50MP
- Battery: 6500mAh + 80W charging
The 200MP sensor is OPPO's signature megapixel flex – expect excellent daylight shots and strong digital crops. The periscope zoom makes this a photography beast in the segment.
Reno 15 Pro Mini (The Compact Surprise)
- Display: 6.32-inch 1.5K OLED, 120Hz – truly pocket-friendly with premium sharpness.
- Processor: Same Dimensity 8450 as the Pro – flagship-level power in a small body.
- Cameras:
- Rear: 200MP main + 50MP ultrawide + 50MP 3.5x telephoto
- Full triple setup in a mini phone? Impressive!
- Battery: 6200mAh + 80W – slightly smaller but still massive for the size.
A proper compact phone with no compromises on cameras or performance? This could be huge if true – small flagships are rare these days.
Common Highlights Across the Series
- All get 80W fast charging – full charge in under 40 minutes.
- Premium OLED panels with high brightness and color accuracy.
- ColorOS based on Android 16 – clean, feature-rich, with good update promises.
- Slim designs, IP68/69 rating expected, metal/glass builds.
Expected Pricing (My Guess)
- Reno 15: ₹34,999–₹39,999
- Reno 15 Pro: ₹44,999–₹49,999
- Reno 15 Pro Mini: ₹48,999–₹52,999 (premium for the compact form)
If OPPO keeps pricing aggressive, this series could challenge Realme 16 Pro, iQOO Neo 10, and even OnePlus models.
My Thoughts
OPPO's Reno line has always been about style and cameras, and the 15 series looks like a strong evolution. The 3.5x periscope zoom on all models is a big win – real optical zoom is becoming rare outside flagships. Big batteries (6500mAh standard!) mean less charging anxiety.
The Pro Mini excites me most – a small phone with 200MP + telephoto + powerful chip? If it launches, it'll be perfect for people tired of giant slabs.
Only question marks: real-world camera tuning (OPPO sometimes oversaturates) and software bloat. But on paper? This series looks very competitive for early 2026.
January 6 would make it a packed day with Realme – perfect for comparison shopping!
