Oppo just dropped the Reno 15 series in India, and it’s essentially a three-pronged attack on the mid-premium segment.1 We’ve got the standard Reno 15, the beefed-up Reno 15 Pro, and a surprisingly high-spec Reno 15 Pro Mini for the compact fans.2
The thing is, the price gap between the standard and the Pro is significant—we’re talking a ₹22,000 jump. Or nothing. Let’s be real, you’re paying for that “200MP Flex” and a faster brain. Those too.

The “Reno 15 Series” Log: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where the “Pro” isn’t just a slightly better version; it’s basically a different category of phone.
-
The 200MP King: The Reno 15 Pro packs a 200MP main sensor.3 The standard? Just 50MP. Both have the 50MP periscope zoom, but if you want that “ultra-clear” detail for cropping, the Pro is the only way.
-
The Brain Swap: Oppo went with a “Team Red vs. Team Blue” strategy. The standard Reno 15 runs the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which is great for daily tasks.4 But the Pro (and Pro Mini) uses the MediaTek Dimensity 8450, which is built for that heavy AI processing and 200MP image crunching.5
-
Compact Surprise: The Pro Mini is the dark horse here. It’s got a 6.32-inch screen but keeps the 200MP camera and the Dimensity 8450.6 It’s for the people who hate giant bricks in their pockets.
-
Battery & Juice: Interestingly, both the standard and Pro have a massive 6,500mAh battery and 80W charging.7 But only the Pro gives you that 50W AirVOOC wireless charging.8

And Here’s the Kicker…
The software is the real star. Both run ColorOS 16 (Android 16) out of the box with some wild AI stuff—like AI Mind Space and AI Call Summary.9 And then there’s the IP69 rating. Yes, you can technically blast these phones with high-pressure, high-temp water and they’ll just shrug it off.
It’s an ongoing situation where the Reno 15 is the “sensible” choice for most, but the Pro is for the people who want to shoot 4K 60fps cinematic vlogs on all three cameras.
