OPPO has officially launched the Reno15 Series in South Africa, bringing the Reno15 Pro and Reno15 F to local shelves from 7 February. Positioned squarely in the premium mid-tier segment, the new devices arrive at a time when smartphone prices are steadily climbing. OPPO is instead leaning on aggressive specs and competitive contract pricing to keep the Reno range firmly in the value conversation.
The Reno Series has long been one of OPPO’s strongest performers locally, especially among users looking for flagship-style features without flagship-level pricing. With the Reno15 generation, OPPO appears to be refining that formula rather than reinventing it.

A Familiar Design, Sharpened For 2026
Both Reno15 models follow OPPO’s slim, lightweight design language, making them comfortable for daily use while still feeling premium in hand. Display quality is a major focus this year.
The Reno15 Pro features a 6.32-inch AMOLED display with a high screen-to-body ratio and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Colours are vibrant, motion feels fluid, and the panel is well suited for streaming, gaming, and social media scrolling.
The Reno15 F offers a larger 6.57-inch AMOLED display, also running at 120Hz. Despite sitting slightly lower in the range, it delivers the same smooth visual experience, making it a strong option for users who prioritise screen size.
Cameras Remain The Reno Series’ Calling Card
Imaging continues to be central to the Reno lineup.
The Reno15 Pro introduces the most advanced camera system OPPO has placed in a Reno device to date. It is headlined by a 200MP main sensor, supported by a 50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical portrait zoom, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera handles detailed selfies and group shots.
Video features include 4K recording, Dual-View Video, and an underwater photography mode, enabled by the phone’s IP69-rated durability.
The Reno15 F takes a more practical approach, offering a 50MP main camera with ultra-wide and macro lenses, paired with a 50MP ultra-wide front camera. AI tools such as AI Portrait Glow, AI Motion Photo, AI Eraser 2.0, and built-in video editing features are available across both models.
Performance And Battery Built For Long Days
The Reno15 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM expandable to 24GB, and up to 512GB of storage. OPPO’s AI HyperBoost 2.0 helps maintain smooth performance during multitasking and gaming.
A 6,200mAh battery delivers all-day endurance, supported by 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
The Reno15 F uses the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 Mobile Platform and includes a larger 7,000mAh battery, also supported by 80W SUPERVOOC charging, making it particularly appealing for users focused on battery life.
Both devices feature IP69 water and dust resistance.
