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.
