* BEST Gaming phone
EDITORIAL: The Pro version of ROG 9 comes only in black. It offers more mini-LED dots on the back (648 vs 85) then ROG 9 (see listing above) and replaces the macro lens with a proper 32MP OIS PDAF telephoto. It has a 1TB, 24GB RAM version too b but otherwise matches the ROG 9 in physical build, processor, memory, battery, charging, screen, gaming tech and (only 2 year) OS support.
PROs
top performance scores by SD 8 Elite processor with UFS4.0, 2-day endurance from a 5800mAh Li battery and fast 45min (0 to 100%) 65W wired (15W wireless) charging, >1900nits bright LTPO AMOLED with 185Hz refresh rate (!), gaming triggers, 2 USB-C ports (1 with OTG), 3.5mm headphone jack
CONs
heavy at 227gr, lack of expandable storage, very short OS update support, no desktop replacement feature (updated Apr 28, 2025)

* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Selfie* TOP SoftwareMidrange
EDITORIAL: Oppo's midrange Reno phones are known for great battery life and very competent camera setups and Reno 15 is no exception. Oppo decided to save you money by fitting in a huge battery and using a cheaper non-LTPO screen. Cameras cover all basis with a main, telephoto and ultrawide plus an excellent selfie shooter. The last year's SD 7 Gen 4 processor will do the job and don't expect a SD memory expansion (Oppo removed that feature from Reno line last year) but otherwise this is a top-midrange phone if price is right.
PROs
very solid aluminium and glass build, good SnapDragon 7 Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 performance, excellent >42hr endurance from a 6500mAh battery with sub-60min 80W charging, sub-1300nits 460ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, very reliable 50MP 26mm main + 50MP 80mm telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + 8MP 15mm AF ultrawide, excellent 50MP 18mm AF selfie, 5 years of OS updates, generous retail package that usually includes a charger and a case
CONs
flat side frame is not as comfortable to use, no wireless charging, no SD memory expansion, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (tho it offers OTG)
