OPPO has officially introduced the Reno15 F 5G as the successor to the Reno14 F 5G.
At first glance, both smartphones look very similar, sharing the same Snapdragon chipset, AMOLED display, and triple rear camera setup.
However, the newer model brings several notable upgrades, particularly in the battery, charging, selfie camera, and software.
Here’s a closer look at how they compare.
The OPPO Reno15 F 5G measures approximately 158.18 x 74.93 x 8.14 mm (Twilight Blue) or 8.27 mm (Aurora Blue) and weighs 195g or 202g, depending on the color.
Meanwhile, the OPPO Reno14 F 5G measures 158.12 x 74.97 x 7.74 mm (Luminous Green) or 7.78 mm (Opal Blue) and weighs 180g.
Overall, the Reno14 F 5G is thinner and noticeably lighter, while the Reno15 F 5G becomes slightly thicker due to its larger battery.
Both smartphones feature a 6.57-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2372 × 1080 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 10-bit color depth, 397 PPI, and up to 1,400 nits High Brightness Mode (HBM).
The Reno15 F 5G uses Corning Gorilla Glass protection, while the Reno14 F 5G comes with AGC Dragontrail DT-STAR D+ glass.
Overall, the display experience remains almost identical between the two devices.
Both smartphones are equipped with a 50MP main camera with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera.
The biggest camera upgrade is on the front. The Reno15 F 5G features a 50MP autofocus selfie camera, replacing the 32MP autofocus sensor found on the Reno14 F 5G.
Video recording also sees an improvement. The Reno15 F 5G can record 4K videos using the front camera, while the Reno14 F 5G is limited to 1080p for selfies.
Overall, the rear cameras remain unchanged, but the Reno15 F 5G offers a more capable front camera for selfies and video recording.
Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor paired with an Adreno 710 GPU and LPDDR4X RAM.
Storage also remains similar to UFS 3.1 storage, although the Reno14 F 5G offers an additional 12GB + 512GB variant that is not available on the Reno15 F 5G.
Overall, users should expect nearly identical day-to-day performance.
This is one of the biggest upgrades.
The OPPO Reno15 F 5G packs a 7,000mAh battery with support for 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
Meanwhile, the Reno14 F 5G features a 6,000mAh battery with 45W SUPERVOOC charging.
Overall, the Reno15 F 5G delivers both a significantly larger battery and faster charging.
The Reno15 F 5G ships with ColorOS 16, while the Reno14 F 5G comes with ColorOS 15.
Both devices support 5G, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, USB Type-C, NFC, dual SIM, and in-display fingerprint scanners.
Overall, the connectivity features remain largely the same, with the Reno15 F 5G offering newer software out of the box.
The OPPO Reno15 F 5G is an incremental upgrade rather than a complete overhaul.
Performance, display, and rear cameras remain largely unchanged, as both smartphones use the same Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset and similar camera hardware.
The main improvements include a larger 7,000mAh battery, faster 80W charging, a 50MP autofocus selfie camera with 4K video recording, and newer ColorOS 16 software.
If you already own the Reno14 F 5G, the upgrade may not be essential unless you want better battery life and improved selfie capabilities.
However, for new buyers choosing between the two, the Reno15 F 5G offers the better overall package thanks to its larger battery, faster charging, and upgraded front camera.
