OPPO has officially expanded its popular Reno series with the launch of the OPPO Reno 15 in India today, January 8, 2026. Positioned as the ‘Portrait Expert,’ the Reno 15 continues the brand's tradition of blending high-end fashion with professional-grade photography. This year, the focus has shifted toward ‘Generative AI Integration,’ with the phone featuring native AI tools for real-time video editing and object removal. With a sleek, new, and flowing silk design, the Reno 15 aims to capture the premium mid-range market.
The OPPO Reno 15 is competitively priced to take on rivals like the Vivo V-series and Samsung A-series. It is available in two primary configurations:
8GB RAM + 256GB Storage: ₹39,999
12GB RAM + 512GB Storage: ₹44,999
Launch Offers: Customers can avail of an instant ₹4,000 discount using ICICI or SBI cards, along with a ‘Zero Down Payment’ EMI scheme and an additional exchange bonus of ₹3,000 for old Reno devices.
OPPO continues to dominate mobile portraits with upgraded hardware:
Rear Camera: A 50MP Sony LYTIA-700 primary sensor with OIS, paired with a 32MP Telephoto Portrait lens (2x optical zoom) and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor.
Selfie Camera: A class-leading 50MP AF Front Camera optimised for 4K ‘Vlog Mode.’
AI Features: Includes ‘AI Eraser 3.0’ and ‘AI Studio,’ which allows users to turn any portrait into a digital avatar.
Colours: The phone debuts in three signature aesthetics:
Silk White: A textured finish that mimics the feel of woven fabric.
Sunset Glow: A vibrant gradient that shifts from orange to soft purple.
Space Grey: A classic, matte-finish professional look.
Processor: The Reno 15 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 chipset. Built on a 4nm process, this processor is specifically optimised for AI tasks and power efficiency, ensuring the phone stays cool during extended photography sessions.
Display: It features a 6.7-inch 1.5K Curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen reaches a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and includes "ProXDR" technology to make HDR photos look incredibly vivid.
Battery & Charging: The device is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery and supports 80W SUPERVOOC Flash Charge, which can juice up the phone to 100% in just 45 minutes.
Software: It runs on ColorOS 16 (based on Android 16), promising 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches.
Build: Despite the large battery, the phone remains remarkably thin at 7.6mm and weighs only 182g. It also carries an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance.

The OPPO Reno 15 is a specialist device tailored for social media creators and style-conscious users.
Pros:
Stunning Portraits: The 32MP telephoto lens is the best in its price bracket for bokeh shots.
Premium Design: The ‘Silk White’ finish looks and feels significantly more expensive than it is.
Display Quality: The 1.5K curved panel offers flagship-level sharpness and brightness.
Cons:
Performance: While the Dimensity 8400 is smooth, hardcore gamers might prefer the Snapdragon-powered rivals.
Pre-installed Apps: ColorOS still comes with several pre-loaded apps that may require manual cleanup.
