The already known Oppo K15 Pro and Oppo K15 Pro+ models will be joined by the entry-level Oppo K15. What does it offer and how much does it cost?
The Oppo K15 is quite an interesting smartphone, but what surprised me most was that, contrary to the prevailing "trend" in China, this model is offered in only one memory configuration: 12+256 GB. Its price is 2,299 yuan, which gives about $340. The smartphone has a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1.5K, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and brightness of up to 1,200 nits. An optical fingerprint reader is hidden beneath the screen, and a punch-hole for a 50-megapixel selfie camera (f/2.0) is located at the top of the display. On the back, you'll find two additional 50-megapixel cameras: a main (f/1.8) with optical image stabilization and a wide-angle (f/2.2) camera. Next to these are a notification LED and... a large cover imitating a third lens. While the smartphone itself is quite attractive, this detail looks decidedly underwhelming.

The heart of the Oppo K15 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Super processor, cooled by a large vapor chamber with a heat dissipation surface of 4950 mm² and an additional fan. The processor supports LPDDR4x and UFS 3.1 memory, and is powered by an 8000 mAh battery with 80-watt charging. The casing is available in two colors: gray and white, and offers IP69 waterproofing. An infrared transmitter nicely complements the specifications. The smartphone measures 158.3 x 75.13 x 8.27/8.31 mm and weighs 205 or 206 g. Weight and thickness depend on the colour variant.
