OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G Unboxing, First Look - Compact, elegant, with that rich vibe

Confirmed, the global variants of the OPPO Reno15 Series 5G will be available in the Philippines soon.

Meet OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G

The OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G stands out as the strongest of the lineup, offering a refreshing change from usually bulky mid-rangers with its handy compact size.

Let's have a look.

Unboxing/Accessories

The entire packaging

OPPO kept the packaging simple. You get the box, the phone itself with a pre-installed screen protector, some paper documents, a SIM ejector tool, and a nice-looking shock-resistant TPU clear case. It also has a compact 80W SUPERVOOC power brick and a compatible USB-A to USB-C data and charging cable.

Compact, elegant, with that rich vibe, design, and build

The full back design

Starting with Reno13 and refined through Reno14, it seems like OPPO has found the formula that defines the Reno series, now taken to even greater heights with Reno15.

Most refined Reno yet

Made with an aerospace-grade aluminum frame, Gorilla Glass 7i-protected display, and IP66/68/69 dust and water resistance ratings, this device is close to or on par with what most high-end smartphones have in terms of material used and durability feats.

The design is what stood out more. It is elegant without the need to scream, "I'm expensive."

Another look at the glow of its back cover

It arrived in a more refined OPPO Glow Glass back design sculpted from a single piece of glass.

The back cover also features Dancing Aurora Texture Design, a stunning-looking finish where OPPO etched millions of microscopic textures on the surface, allowing a more comfortable and premium feel in the hand and echoing the radiant hues of an aurora for the "Aurora Blue" variant.

There are no sharp edges and is not prone to fingerprint smudges at all.

Subtle elegance screams premium

It also has the Dynamic Stellar Ring Design for the camera hump with a subtle glittery shine and small "Reno" branding.

Dusk Brown OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G

Apart from Aurora Blue, this is also available in the simpler yet still stunning-looking Dusk Brown, which is actually a bit slimmer and lighter at 7.99mm (instead of 8.13mm) and 187 grams (instead of 188 grams).

If I have one complaint, this back cover is a little bit slippery to hold without the case.

OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G display

Apart from its back design, the size is where this phone shines. It uses a small 6.32-inch display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh, 3,800 nits peak brightness, allowing the phone to be 151.21 x 72.42 mm in size, making operation easy even with just one hand.

Immersive viewing

It even has ultra-slim and flagship-like symmetrical bezels for a more immersive viewing experience.

It even has "Splash Touch," which maintains the responsiveness of the display even when wet.

Top, bottom

On top is a microphone, an IR sensor remote control, and a secondary speaker on the earspeaker. Below are the SIM tray slot, another mic, USB-C port, and the primary speaker. The left side is clear, while the right side has the power key and volume rocker.

Overall, its handy form factor made capturing photos and videos with one hand effortless, perfect for creators on the go.

Note: Unfortunately, we are still under embargo, and we cannot share the images we took yet. But just to tease you guys a little, I AM VERY SATISFIED.

Quick thoughts

OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G bears the most refined look for a Reno-branded smartphone yet, with simplicity and subtle shine that simply scream premium.

The Reno14 Pro 5G last year is great in terms of design, but I personally prefer this due to its more handy size, which is great for one-handed operation, and a few improvements in camera specs at the expense of the wireless charging.

I am excited to fully explore the phone, its new AI capabilities, and what its improved camera system can do.

Our review will be out by next week. This device will launch on February 13, 2025.

Stay tuned.
