Oppo is currently pulling a “mini” miracle in the Indian market. As of Thursday, January 8, 2026, the Reno 15 series has officially landed, and the standout isn’t just the 200MP camera—it’s the fact that they actually brought a “Pro Mini” to the table.
The thing is, we’ve been begging for a compact flagship that doesn’t compromise on power, and Oppo finally listened. Or nothing. Let’s be real, most “mini” phones usually cut corners on the battery or the zoom, but this one is packing the same Dimensity 8450 as its bigger brother. Those too.

The “Reno 15 Launch” Log: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where Oppo is moving from “lifestyle phone” to “serious camera hardware.”
-
The “Pro Mini” Factor: It’s got a 6.32-inch screen. It feels tiny compared to the massive slabs we’re used to, but it still packs a 200MP main sensor.
-
The Build: Aerospace-grade aluminium frames. They’re using HoloFusion technology for the back glass, which makes the Glacier White look like it has 3D ribbons inside.
-
Durability Overkill: These things have IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings.1 You can basically blast them with a high-pressure hot water hose. Not that you should.
-
The Battery Gap: Despite the slim designs (as thin as 7.65mm), they managed to cram in 6,200mAh to 6,500mAh batteries.2 That’s huge for this thickness.

[Table: The Reno 15 Series Lineup]
| Model | Variant | Official Price (INR) | Key Highlight |
| Reno 15 | 8GB + 256GB | ₹45,999 | 6,500mAh + SD 7 Gen 4 |
| Reno 15 Pro Mini | 12GB + 256GB | ₹59,999 | Compact 6.32″ + 200MP |
| Reno 15 Pro | 12GB + 256GB | ₹67,999 | 6.78″ 1.5K + Dimensity 8450 |
And Here’s the Kicker…
The Reno 15 Pro is now pushing into the ₹70,000 bracket with its 512GB variant (₹72,999). The thing is, at that price, you’re officially in the territory of the iPhone 17 and Galaxy S26. Oppo is betting big on their AI Editor 3.0 and the 3.5x Telephoto lens to justify the jump.
Sales go live on January 13, 2026, across Flipkart, Amazon, and Oppo stores. It’s an ongoing situation where the “mini” might actually outsell the “pro” because it’s such a rare form factor for Android right now.
