Oppo has expanded its Reno 15 series with the launch of the Oppo Reno 15c in China. The latest addition brings high-end performance, a large battery, and versatile cameras, targeting users who want flagship-style features without paying flagship-level prices.
The Oppo Reno 15c is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset paired with an Adreno 722 GPU. Oppo also combines this with up to 12GB LPDDR5x RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, promising smooth performance for multitasking, gaming, and daily use. With Android 16-based ColorOS 16, the device also benefits from updated software features, animations, and system optimizations.
Photography is a key highlight on the Reno 15c. On the rear, it features a triple-camera setup: a 50-megapixel wide-angle lens with OIS support, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with OIS, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Selfies and video calls are handled by a 50-megapixel front camera. While it may not rival top-tier flagship camera systems, the Reno 15c offers versatile imaging options for everyday users who value detail and flexibility.
At the same time, the phone sports a 6.59-inch AMOLED display with a full-HD+ resolution of 1256 x 2760 pixels. Users get a 120Hz refresh rate, 1200 nits peak brightness, and a 240Hz touch sampling rate, delivering a smooth and responsive viewing experience. At 158x74.83x7.77mm and 197g, the phone balances screen size with portability, and the in-display ultrasound fingerprint sensor adds convenience and security.
With a 6,500mAh battery, the Reno 15c promises extended usage for heavy users. Oppo supports 80W wired fast charging, which can quickly top up the battery and minimize downtime.
Oppo has also equipped the Reno 15c with an impressive set of durability and connectivity features. The phone carries IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, making it resistant to water and dust. Connectivity options include Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi 6, GPS (BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS), and a USB Type-C port. Sensors onboard cover proximity, ambient light, electronic compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, and an infrared remote control.
Starting price for the Oppo Reno 15c in China is CNY 2,899 (around ₹37,000/$412) for the 12GB + 256GB model, with the 512GB variant priced at CNY 3,199 (around ₹41,000/$454.3). It comes in three colourways: Aurora Blue, College Blue, and Starlight Bow.
Conclusion
The Oppo Reno 15c positions itself as a premium mid-range contender, offering flagship-inspired performance, a large battery, versatile cameras, and a high-refresh AMOLED display. For users seeking strong specs and reliability without stepping fully into the ultra-premium segment, the Reno 15c delivers a compelling package.
