* 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.

Midrange
EDITORIAL: Vivo V40 has perfected the midrange formula putting out another excellent phone. For about $500, you will get a battery + screen + pics phone that is a pleasure to use. This is a great phone to consider, if it is sold in your market.
PROs
a easily pocketable (just 7.6 mm thick) body with a thin (plastic) frame and curved sides on both front and back, lag-free performance from SD 7 Gen 3 processor, a 2-day endurance by 5500mAh Si/C battery with 45min (0-100%) 80W charging, excellent >1300nits 450ppi HDR10+ AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, Zeiss tuned 50MP PDAF OIS main + 50MP AF ultrawide produce reliable photos and very good videos and macro shots, the 50MP AF selfie is excellent for both pics and videos (day or night)
CONs
UFS2.2 and the USB-C2.0 slow things down, no wireless charging, no SDmemory or Desktop replacement feature, only 2 years of OS updates (updated May 27, 2025)
