Oppo is gearing up for another big smartphone launch — the Reno 15 series. According to multiple leaks, the upcoming lineup could bring major upgrades in performance, camera, and battery life, setting the stage for a strong entry into 2026.
The series is expected to make its debut in China later this year, followed by a global launch — including India — in early 2026. Here’s a detailed look at everything that’s been tipped so far about Oppo’s next-gen Reno lineup.
Oppo Reno 15 Series: Three Models in the Pipeline
If reports are to be believed, the Reno 15 lineup will include three models, likely the Reno 15, Reno 15 Pro, and Reno 15 Pro+.
While Oppo has not made anything official yet, leaks from trusted sources suggest that the brand is already testing prototypes in global markets, including India.
Popular tipster Yogesh Brar recently claimed that the testing phase is underway and that Oppo plans to launch the Reno 15 series in India in early 2026, shortly after the China debut.
This timeline aligns with Oppo’s usual release pattern, as the Reno 14 lineup arrived in late 2024 and expanded globally in early 2025.
Dimensity 8500 SoC: Powering the Next Reno
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming Reno 15 lineup is expected to be MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 chipset.
According to a leak by well-known Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, at least one variant in the Reno 15 series will be powered by the new Dimensity 8500 SoC.
The chipset, which is yet to be officially unveiled by MediaTek, is rumored to be built on an advanced 4nm process, offering improved performance and efficiency over its predecessor.
If this leak turns out to be accurate, the Reno 15 series could deliver flagship-like power at a midrange price, something Oppo has been known for in the Reno lineup.
200MP Camera & Periscope Lens: Big Leap for Photography
Camera upgrades seem to be a major focus for Oppo this time.
Leaks indicate that some Reno 15 models could feature a 200MP main camera sensor — a first for the series. This would be paired with a periscope telephoto lens, allowing for higher optical zoom without compromising image quality.
The Reno series has always been recognized for its camera-centric features, and this jump to a 200MP sensor could help Oppo compete more directly with rivals like Xiaomi, Samsung, and Vivo, which have been pushing high-megapixel cameras in their flagships.
If Oppo maintains its software tuning and image processing quality, the Reno 15 could easily become one of the most powerful camera phones in its price segment.
Huge 10,000mAh Battery Tipped
Battery life might also see a massive boost.
Earlier reports suggested that Oppo may equip the Reno 15 lineup with a gigantic 10,000mAh battery — a huge jump from the 6,000mAh+ cells found in the Reno 14 series.
If true, this would make the Reno 15 one of the largest-battery smartphones on the market, potentially offering two-day battery life on a single charge.
There’s no official word yet on charging speeds, but given Oppo’s history with fast charging, it’s safe to expect at least 100W SuperVOOC support.
Design and Display: Premium as Always
Although design details remain under wraps, Oppo’s Reno lineup is known for its sleek aesthetics and vibrant AMOLED displays.
Fans can expect a curved-edge design, thin bezels, and high-refresh-rate panels, possibly up to 120Hz, for smooth visuals. The company is also likely to continue using glass-metal builds to maintain a premium feel across all models.
Expected Launch and Availability
The Oppo Reno 15 series is expected to launch in China by the end of 2025, with a global rollout (including India) in early 2026.
Pricing details are still unknown, but given Oppo’s track record, the Reno 15 lineup will likely target the upper midrange segment, competing with models like the OnePlus 13R, Vivo V30 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy A76.
Final Thoughts
The Oppo Reno 15 series looks set to bring serious upgrades in every department — from a next-gen Dimensity 8500 chip and 200MP camera to a potentially record-breaking 10,000mAh battery.
If these leaks hold true, Oppo could be setting a new benchmark for performance-focused midrange smartphones heading into 2026.
