Oppo has been working on some different devices and has many product series that are popular among the consumers. Oppo has some very good devices in the mid price range for those that want something much more from their smartphones and are willing to spend some decent money for those specifications. The Oppo R15 is available for approximately Rupees 36000.
The Oppo R15 has a 6.28 inches AMOLED display and it lacks the notch design which can be seen on many smartphones that are launched in 2018. The AMOLED screen is capable of having a screen resolution of 1080 x 2280 pixels and a pixel density of 401 ppi. This makes the images on the screen sharp and colorful and makes the smartphone experience much better. The screen has good viewing angles and you can see better outdoors with the brightness turned up in sunlight conditions. There is a notch design in the front and you can see the gradient color finish on the rear panel.
The Oppo R15 has a dual camera setup in the back and the front has a single camera setup. The rear camera has a 16 MP lens with an aperture size of f/1.7 and a 5 MP lens with an aperture size of f/2.2 and a depth sensor for images that you want to click with the bokeh effect. The front camera has a 20 MP lens with an aperture size of f/2.0. Both the cameras in the rear take decent pictures with enough lighting in the surroundings but suffer during indoor shots due to low light conditions. The images are good to be shared on social media platforms. The device captures 1080p videos at a frame rate of 30fps.
The Oppo R15 has a Mediatek MT6771 Helio P60 chipset with a Octa-core (4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53) processors and a Mali-G72 MP3 graphics chipset. The RAM and the internal storage on the device differ for its different variants and you can get the 3 GB/128 GB or the 4 GB/128 GB variant according to your needs. There is expandable card slot which supports upto 256 GB MicroSD card but shares the second SIM card slot. The android OS running on the device is the Android v8.1 Oreo with the ColorOS 5 Skin overlaid on top of it. There are some different customizations and setting that give it a different feel than stock android.
The battery of the Oppo R15 is only 3450mAh and is able to sustain the device for a full day and a half with average usage and for about a day with heavy usage. The device does support fast charging and comes with a VOOC fast charger with 20W output. The Oppo R15 takes about 1.5-2 hours to fully charge from 0 to 100 and about 50% in 30 minutes.
The Oppo R15 is available in Hot Red, Snow White, Star Purple and Fantasy Pink color variants.

The battery is a little less with only 3450mAh capacity. There is VOOC fast charging functionality and the device takes about 1.5-2 hours to fully charge from 0-100. The Oppo R15 can last you a full day on heavy usage and charges up to 50% in about 30 minutes.
Buy this device if you want a device with mid price range specifications or you are not running on a budget and are willing to spend some money and like its build quality and design, otherwise look for other good options in the market.
