Which OPPO Phone Should You Buy?

INTRODUCTION:

Friends, if you ask us which series has improved the most over the last 2 years, we would say the Oppo Reno series. When the Oppo Reno 14 series was released, we were impressed. But with the Oppo 15 series, we didn’t expect it to improve much. But the Oppo 15 series, again, especially if we talk about the base variant, and this time, the Pro Mini is also here, the first compact phone of the Reno series. We think they justified it. Yes, across the board, smartphone prices have increased. The Reno series is going to be no different. But in that price, too, Oppo has covered all the bases. That means they have taken care of every aspect. Whether it is performance, display, battery, or anything.

We think there is an improvement. Yes, we are going to tell you everything in today’s video. By the way, there are not many differences between Pro and Pro Mini. So, in Pro, we cannot cover all the phones in one video. The Pro Mini and Base variant is impressive. We will talk about them. We’ll explain the differences between Pro and Pro Mini. Let’s start.

Unboxing:

So base and pro, and pro mini. Documentation comes. Then you have an opaque case. Where is the sim card tool? It must be inside. Then this is a 15. Pro mini, and this is pro, so the box is the same because all the box contents are going to be the same, so we keep all the other things in the box, and what else is there? All three come with an 80-watt charger, and inside the box you’ll find a SIM card tool and a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable. Yes, this is all inside the box.

Design:

Now let’s see the phones. First of all, this is the base variant. Okay, the design is very similar to the previous generation, but it is glass and has a matte finish. Not a matte; it has a satin-matte finish. And then this is also glass. Looks nice. We would say it is an understated design. This looks black, but it’s actually a cocoa colour. We will tell you about the colours.

And this is the Pro. This is also a Cocoa colour. Okay. So if you look from the back, the base variant and Pro have little difference. But when you look at this, this is small. Alright, we’ll talk about the Pro later, we’ll look at the Pro Mini and the base variant.

Ports & Buttons:

The ports and buttons are the same. On the bottom side, there’s a speaker grill, USB Type-C, a microphone, and a sim card tray. There’s nothing on the left-hand side. On the top side, there’s an IR blaster, noise cancelling microphone, and a speaker slit or speaker hole, we’ll call it. Then you have a volume rocker and then a power on/off button.

This is the understated colour of the Pro Mini. It has another colour; you can see the ribbons. Yeah, white. Oh, we like this. Not bad. Everything remains the same, even the design. All the phones have a metal frame, so the glass-metal sandwich design is present in all the phones. But there is a major difference. This is obviously a big phone. Normal, like the other flagship phones. This one feels different. Yes. The in-hand feel is really nice. Very compact. Even if your hands are small, you will love this. We’re talking about the Pro Mini. Actually, we don’t feel much difference in weight.

This is 196 grams. Let’s see. 188.8 grams. By the way, friends, that is really surprising. It has a glass-metal sandwich design. Additionally, it has a 6,200 mAh battery. And still it is at 188. It is excellent. We think this will be 202-204 grams. 207.6 But the size, you know how it is? Because of its size, the surface area is bigger. This small, compact, stuffy phone. That is what it is. By the way, there is no screen guard on it. It has, so no sound, no water. Nice, very, very nice. By the way, in both the base and the pro mini, you get 7i protection.

No, nothing. This is what you do because you like it. By the way, this is wood. We’re not going to put it down. We have to talk a lot. We’ve seen the phone from outside. Let’s see from inside. Alright, first of all, let’s see the Pro Mini.

Display:

Friends, if we talk about the display, look at this display. It has bezels of uniform size. The Pro Mini has 6.32-inch bezels. A 120Hz AMOLED LTPS display is available. Only the Pro variant has LTPO; the Pro Mini and Base variants use an AMOLED LTPS display. And if we talk about brightness, the peak brightness is 3600, and the HBM mode is 1800. So, even if you go outside, you should not have any problems. It will look clear in the under sunlight. It has HDR10+ support, absolutely no problems.

It has 1.6mm bezels, which are very thin, so it has a 93% screen-to-body ratio. No problems.

Specifications:

Friends, if we talk about specifications, the Pro and Pro Mini models come with the Dimensity 8450 processor, which has an Android score of 2.2-2.3 million, depending on the variant.

Battery:

The Pro Mini has a 6200 mAh battery, and the Pro and the normal base variant have a 6500 mAh battery. It has 80W charging, in the Pro, you get 50W wireless charging support, LPDDR5X RAM type, UFS 3.1 storage type, in all of them.

Storage & Performance:

In the base variant, the base variant comes with 8/256, whereas in the Pro and the Pro Mini, it comes with 12/256 base variant.

Talking about real-world performance, you can play 90 FPS BGMI on the base variant 7 Gen 4, but you can play 120 FPS BGMI on the Pro and Pro Mini. We played Genshin Impact and saw that you get 52-53 FPS here too, absolutely no problems. The impressive thing is that the thermals are also in check, even after playing for 30-45 minutes, it didn’t go above 40-41 degrees, so that is also there.

We can’t say that this performance is focused on the camera. We mean, if you do casual gaming, yes, you’re going to like it. You need a good camera. We’ll tell you when we come to the camera. But you need a good camera, that too. Other things, you need a big battery, too. These are the phones. One thing we’re talking about is gaming. Let us tell you that it happens. The haptics really stand out, meaning the haptic feedback is excellent in all 3 variants.

Series OS UI:

Let’s talk about OS, and the good thing is that 5 years of updates are available. ColorOS 16 is based on Android 16; all of them are getting major updates for 5 years and 6 years of security updates. We think Oppo’s philosophy has changed a little in the last 2 years. First, the design and camera were what they focused on more.

The lifestyle was the Renault series, but from Renault 14 and with Renault 15, we can confidently say that they have to make an all-round phone where the consumer gets everything and can use it for 4-5 years. That is what these phones are. Talking about the colour, it’s fluid, it’s very feature-rich, and it has a lot of AI features. But yes, you still get pre-installed apps. You can disable hot apps and hot games, and you can uninstall the rest of the apps. There are AI features, friends, plus there are some good things, like call summary, call translation, recording, etc. These are all things that come. Even if the caller is Appo’s own, you can record it. By the way, friends, about all the features of ColorOS, the latest ColorOS 16.

Multimedia:

Let’s talk about multimedia, friends. Excellent display, HDR support on Netflix, and audio quality are also good. All of it. Even in Pro Mini, you get a compact size, and you still get good audio quality. There are stereo speakers in all of them. Excellent multimedia experience overall. If we talk about sensors, obviously, all the sensors come. All of them have an optical fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and everything works quite well.

Connectivity:

Friends, let’s talk about connectivity, all 5G bands have support, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, IR blaster support is available But yes, NFC is not available, even in Pro, no NFC Before we go to camera, because we have to talk about important things in camera, we will talk about other things For durability, you get IP68, IP69 certification in all variants, very good SAR values are within limits, haptic feedback is amazing, no problems Yes, all of them have USB 2.0 only.

There is no FM radio, no notification light, but there is Widevine L1 support. There is one more interesting thing: there is an extra mic in the base variant. In Pro and Pro Mini, you get 2 mics, in that you get 3 mics.

Camera:

Alright, camera. And let us tell you that the base variant doesn’t have corners cut. We think that for us it is quite impressive. We mean, the ones you get in the Pro are also available in the base variant. But if we talk about the specs, then you get a 200 MP primary sensor, HP5 sensor, the secondary sensor is Samsung’s JN5 50 MP 3.5x telephoto sensor, across the board in all. In the Pro, you get 50MP Ultra Wide.

In this price range You get 3x up to 75mm Portraits. You can get Portraits of 80mm, and they come out Excellent Two things And two things Which we found stand out: HDR Dynamic range is amazing, and skin tones are on point. So this is a very good thing, and because it is a 200 megapixel You know you need details Natively You need.

You are taking a good landscape with 200 megapixels natively. They come out quite good By the way, we have taken a lot of photos, So primary and telephoto Are quite impressive And one more good thing is That in all phones You get autofocus So you can take out ultrawide But if you want to take macro shots That also you can do 55 megapixel selfie You get 100 degrees FOV Which is good Generally we take 91-92 degrees and all. Its field of view is good. So if you want to take group selfies, you can easily do that. The thing we were talking about was skin tones. So this is a selfie, and this is wide. Okay. So look at wide. This is wide.

This is 2x, and this is 1x. So if you take out the normal, and this is 100 degree FOV. Still, there are certain details that you can see. And these are literally indoors. We just noticed that such a big name Oppo, Renault, 15, Pro, Mini, 5G. If they had written something like Renault Pro Mini, it would have been fine. And what is this? There is a signature too. Oh, Master Series, and with a signature. Oh, fantastic. We’re not too sure who will keep such a big watermark, but yeah, that’s what it is. And Oppo uses pure tone technology where Indian texture and skin tones are feed in their database.

So AI processes them accurately, and that’s why those skin tones come out good. Alright, let’s talk about videography. All sensors across the board, all 3 phones have 4K 60 FPS. Except for the base variant, which is ultrawide 8MP, but the rest, like selfie, primary sensor, telephoto, everyone does 4K 60FPS. And yes, you can even take HDR videos, yes, there is 4K 60FPS, but even HDR videos.

Features:

And friends, if we talk about the features, then all the features come, pro, video, photo, portrait mode, then you have night mode, high resolution, panorama, film, slow motion, time lapse, dual view video, Underwater, sticker, tech scanner, dog scanner, so all the features are there, meaning feature range. If you take a photo, you get a lot of AI features in editing as well. AI portrait glow, AI portrait, then you also have AI recompose, AI eraser, we told you about pop out, perfect shot, then you also have reflection remover. There are a lot of features, meaning you can edit as you want, even after taking a photo. So, not bad.

Conclusion:

Friends, we liked 2-3 things about the Renault 15. First, this compact Pro Mini has arrived. We love it. Many people are going to buy it after getting it in their hands. That is for sure. Second thing, Renault 15, the base variant, doesn’t have many corners. We mean, even many times it happens that the base variant doesn’t have corners.

But that is not the case, according to me, with Renault 15, which is the base variant. And thirdly, there is nothing like this in the entire Renault 15 series, which is not good at all. You know, many times it happens that the battery is low or it’s not there, that’s not there. They have covered the most important bases, which are important things; everything is ticked.

Yes, friends, this is the Reno 15 series. The price is more but the phones are quite good as well. One more thing to tell you friends, when we used it, what we felt about these phones, that’s what we have told you. till the next video, keep tracking and stay safe.
