EDITORIAL: Oppo took a little more than it’s usual 6 months to come up with a new Reno model. This one is special: almost 5mm narrower (one hand friendlier) then Reno 14 Pro. The huge upgrade sees the same Mediatec processor, same battery (tho without wireless charging), smaller and brighter HDR10+ screen and an improved photography abilities. Reno 15 Pro (in some markets called “Reno 15 Pro Mini”) is easily one of the best midrangers in the world.
PROs
much smaller body then 14 Pro, good Mediatec 8450 with UFS3.1 performance, 36hr endurance from a 6200mAh Si-C diode battery with sub-60min 80W wired charging. very bright >1800nits 450ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+ chops, IP69 protection. great imaging from 200MP 24mm main + 50MP 85mm telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + 50MP 16mm AF ultra wide, excellent 50MP 18mm AF selfie, good video recording. 5 years of OS updates
CONs
no wireless charging, no LTPO tech, IP69 (but only to 1.5m) protection, no expandable memory, no computer replacement functionality, slow USBC 2.0 port

EDITORIAL: Wider then S22+, S23+ brings minimal improvments as we're beginning to expect from Samsung. The chip is updated, there is just 200mAh added to the lithium battery, the screen is slightly brighter (still below 400ppi) and there is a new 12MP dual pixel PDAF selfie. It is no wonder the + tier of S series always sells the least, it is a good phone but just "good enough".
PROs
flagship build, fast SD 8 Gen 2 with UFS 4.0 performance, >30hr endurance from a 4700mAh lithium battery with >60min 25W (15W wireless) charging, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP 24mm main + 10MP 70mm tele + 12MP 13mm ultrawide setup, excellent 12MP 26mm dual pixel PDAF selfie, very good video recording, up to 4 OS updates, desktop replacement functionality (DeX) and a great fast USB-C 3.2 port with video out and OTG
CONs
sub-flagship >1100 nits sub-400ppi Dynamic AMOLED screen with HDR10+, no more SD memory option, Samsung seems to be building a higher wall around it's ecosystem encouraging users to buy other Samsung products
