OPPO RENO15: THE SMART UPGRADE SOUTH AFRICANS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

 

OPPO today announced the South African launch of the Reno15 Series, bringing both the Reno15 Pro and Reno15 F. The devices, which will officially be available on 7 February, continue to build OPPO’s portfolio as a brand that delivers a balance of design, performance and everyday usability. 

Since entering the local market, the RenoSeries has resonated with many South African users looking for smartphones that fit naturally into daily routines without sacrificing premium features. With the Reno15 Series, OPPO introduces enhanced imaging, display and battery capabilities while maintaining a premium mid-tier position. 

“South Africa continues to play an important role in OPPO’s global growth,” says Avashnee Moodley, Head of Marketing at OPPO South Africa. “The Reno15 Series demonstrates our long-term commitment to this market by combining innovation, design and performance that is relevant, reliable and accessible for everyday use.”

Designed for everyday life  

Designed to move seamlessly between work, leisure and personal time, the Reno15 Series reflects how South Africans users use their smartphones every day. From commuting and staying connected throughout long days to capturing memories and creating content, the Reno15 Pro and Reno15 F are designed to support a wide range of lifestyles. 

Both devices feature slim, comfortable designs paired with large AMOLED displays and ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rates, delivering a fast, fluid experience across scrolling, streaming and gaming. The Reno15 Pro’s 6.32-inch OLED screen delivers rich colour and a near edge-to-edge viewing experience, perfect for Netflix marathons, because self-care is a goal that needs to be prioritised. While the Reno15F ups the size to a 6.57-inch AMOLED display, ideal for watching the latest T20 cricket match, a DIY YouTube tutorial or editing content on the go, because one has finally decided to restart their influencer journey in 2026.

Cameras that keep up with your life
From weekend getaways to everyday moments, the Reno15 Series is built to capture it all. The Reno15 Pro leads with a powerful 200MP main camera, supported by a 50MP telephoto lens for portrait shots and a 50MP ultra-wide lens for landscapes and group photos. A 50MP front camera means sharper selfies and clearer video calls, while features like 4K video, Dual-View Video and even Underwater Photography open up creative new ways to shoot.

The Reno15F brings a versatile 50MP main camera with ultra-wide and macro lenses, plus a 50MP front camera, making it an easy choice for taking break-taking photos and immediately uploading it to the Gram. Consider ‘travelling more’ and ‘living in the moment’ ticked from the resolutions set. 

Both phones include OPPO’s smart AI features, such as AI Eraser 2.0, which removes unwanted objects from photos, AI Portrait Glow, and built-in video editing tools that are ideal for quick touch-ups before posting.

All-day power for real life
The Reno15 Pro packs a massive 6,200mAh battery, while the Reno15F goes even bigger with 7,000mAh. Both support OPPO’s 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging, giving you hours of power in just minutes, which is ideal for busy schedules and unpredictable days.

Under the hood, the Reno15 Pro runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset for smooth multitasking and gaming, while the Reno15F’s Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 platform delivers reliable everyday performance.

Where art meets technology
To mark the local launch of the Reno15 Series, OPPO has partnered with multidisciplinary graphic designer Mia Spinazze; alternative fashion designer Zeshaan of Haku, who specialises in handcrafted clothing and bags; and creative director, visual and fine artist Trevor Brunez, to showcase a series of art installations exploring the intersection of technology, creativity, fashion and everyday expression. The installations reflect the Reno15 Series’ design philosophy and its role in modern life. 

“Working with these artists has shown just how powerful technology can enhance storytelling,” says Moodley. She further added, “Each installation captured a different perspective on innovation – with Mia illustrating the depth of graphic design in her installation, Trevor exhibiting interactive fine art that explores the x120 zoom feature, and Zeshaan of Haku presenting Reno15 Series colours with an iconic fashion piece. Their ideas brought to life through the OPPO Reno15 is a reminder that design is ultimately about people – what we feel, how we connect and how we express our experiences of the world.”

Built tough for local conditions
From dusty roads to beach trips and rainy days, the Reno15 Series is built to handle real-world conditions. Both devices are IP69-rated, making them water- and dust-resistant, and yes, capable of underwater photography too.

Premium without the premium price
At a time when smartphone prices keep climbing, OPPO has deliberately kept Reno15 pricing steady for South African consumers, delivering high-end features in a mid-tier package.
