A surprise European retail listing hints at the unannounced Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G, while Oppo’s latest teasers spotlight a durability-first Reno 15 lineup — including the new compact Reno 15 Pro Mini.
Oppo’s Reno 15 story just took an unexpected turn in Europe — and it’s happening at the same time the company is leaning hard into a new design-and-durability narrative for the Reno 15 family.
On December 23, 2025, a previously unannounced model called the Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G surfaced on a European retailer site with a price tag and a full spec list, despite Oppo keeping the device under wraps. [1] Meanwhile, Oppo’s Reno 15 series teasers and related reporting are painting a clearer picture of the bigger lineup — especially the newly confirmed Reno 15 Pro Mini, which aims to deliver a premium Reno experience in a smaller, easier-to-handle body. [2]
Here’s everything that’s new today — and what it signals about Oppo’s early-2026 rollout strategy.
The surprise: Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G quietly appears on a European retailer
The headliner today is the Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G showing up on Epto.it, a European e-commerce listing cited by multiple outlets. The device is not officially announced by Oppo (at least publicly in Europe), but the listing reads like a ready-to-ship product page — with color, dimensions, connectivity, and camera details included. [3]
Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G listed price (Europe)
- €459.90 is the posted price for the Reno 15 FS 5G. [4]
- A second model, Reno 15 F 5G, is also listed at €391.90, suggesting the “FS” variant may be a higher-tier sibling rather than a totally separate design. [5]
Reno 15 FS vs Reno 15 F: what the listings suggest
According to the retailer-based details, the two phones appear nearly identical, with the main difference being storage:
- Reno 15 F 5G: 8GB RAM + 256GB storage
- Reno 15 FS 5G: 8GB RAM + 512GB storage [6]
That’s a classic “same phone, more storage” play — often used to hit different price points without launching a whole new chassis.
Oppo Reno 15 FS 5G: expected specs from the European listing
While retail listings can be placeholders, the detail level here is unusually specific. Here’s what’s being reported from the listing information:
Display and performance
- 6.57-inch AMOLED display
- Full-HD+ (1080 × 2372) resolution
- 120Hz refresh rate
- 93% screen-to-body ratio, 397ppi pixel density [7]
- Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset [8]
Software
- Android 16 with ColorOS 16 [9]
Cameras
Battery and charging
- 6,500mAh battery
- 80W fast charging [12]
Connectivity, build, and size
- Dual SIM support is described as Nano + eSIM in one report [13]
- Connectivity includes Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, GPS, USB‑C [14]
- IP68 rating is cited for dust/water resistance [15]
- 158.2 × 74.9 × 8.14mm, 189g [16]
- Colors cited include Aurora Blue for the FS model and Twilight Black for the F model. [17]
One important packaging detail
The same retailer-based reporting also suggests no charging adapter in the box, while marketing images show the phone beside earphones — hinting earphones could be bundled (possibly as a promo). [18]
The bigger story: Oppo’s Reno 15 series teasers focus on “design + durability”
Today’s other major thread is Oppo’s messaging around the core Reno 15 lineup — especially the Reno 15 Pro, Reno 15, and the newly confirmed compact Reno 15 Pro Mini.
The key theme: Oppo is positioning Reno 15 as sleek but reinforced, with a strong emphasis on materials, impact resistance, and water/dust protection — while still prioritizing display quality and thin bezels. [19]
Reno 15 Pro: the “premium” design language
Reports citing Oppo’s materials describe the Reno 15 Pro as featuring:
- A one-piece sculpted glass rear enhanced by HoloFusion technology
- A Dynamic Stellar Ring camera layout
- 7.65mm thickness and ~205g weight
- An aerospace-grade aluminium frame, plus internal protection elements described as All‑Round Armour Body and Sponge Bionic Cushioning for drop resistance [20]
On the front:
- 6.78-inch AMOLED, FHD+, 10‑bit color, up to 120Hz adaptive refresh
- Ultra-thin 1.15mm bezels and 95.5% screen-to-body ratio
- Up to 3,600 nits peak brightness
- Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection [21]
Reno 15 Pro Mini: compact size, flagship-style screen brightness
The most interesting part for many buyers is the Reno 15 Pro Mini, because Oppo is openly acknowledging demand for smaller phones — without treating “compact” as “cut down.”
Reported/teased highlights include:
- Colors: Cocoa Brown and Glacier White, with Glacier White featuring a 3D ribbon texture created via HoloFusion [22]
- 7.99mm thickness and ~187g weight [23]
- 6.32-inch AMOLED with FHD+, 10‑bit color, up to 120Hz, up to 3,600 nits peak brightness [24]
- 1.6mm bezels and 93.35% screen-to-body ratio [25]
- Protection: Gorilla Glass 7i + AGC DT‑STAR D+ [26]
Standard Reno 15: balanced, nature-inspired finishes
The regular Oppo Reno 15 is presented as the “balanced” option:
- Colors: Glacier White, Twilight Blue, Aurora Blue [27]
- Weight around ~197g, thickness varying by finish [28]
- Display: 6.59-inch AMOLED, FHD+, 10‑bit color, up to 120Hz
- Brightness cited up to 1,200 nits in bright outdoor conditions
- Gorilla Glass 7i protection [29]
IP66, IP68, IP69 — and why Oppo is highlighting all three
One of the most notable “headline spec” trends in late-2025 phones is the move toward multi-tier ingress protection. Oppo is leaning into it by talking about IP66 + IP68 + IP69 across the Reno 15 trio. [30]
A breakdown shared in today’s coverage explains:
- IP66: protection against powerful water splashes
- IP68: surviving freshwater immersion (the example cited is 1.5m up to 30 minutes)
- IP69: protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets (example cited up to 80°C) [31]
Another detail Oppo is using to sell the “longevity” angle: a platinum-coated USB port intended to resist corrosion over time. [32]
Launch outlook: Europe listings today, India/global next — with January 2026 in focus
So what happens next?
Europe: listings suggest near-term availability, but Oppo hasn’t announced it yet
Retail listings don’t guarantee an imminent launch, but the appearance of both Reno 15 F 5G and Reno 15 FS 5G with pricing, colors, and full specs strongly suggests Oppo’s Reno 15 lineup is being staged for a wider rollout beyond China. [33]
India: “soon” is official, a date is still unofficial
Oppo has confirmed the Reno 15 series is coming to India (without giving a date publicly), and today’s reporting points to an alleged January 8 event time for India/global markets, plus expected price bands — but these remain tipster claims rather than an Oppo announcement. [34]
A separate official clue: Oppo Malaysia shows “6 January 2026”
Adding to the January momentum, Oppo Malaysia’s event page for the Reno15 Series 5G shows “Coming Soon” with a date of 6 January 2026 and a Pre-order button — a strong signal that at least one major regional launch moment is locked for early January. [35]
Pricing snapshot: what today’s reports suggest (and what’s still uncertain)
Today’s coverage also adds more pricing context beyond the FS/F listings:
- Reno 15 FS 5G: €459.90
- Reno 15 F 5G: €391.90 [36]
- A separate leak referenced in reporting claims:
- Reno 15 Pro (Europe): €799 (12GB/512GB)
- Reno 15 (Europe): €599 (8GB/512GB) [37]
Treat the Pro/Reno 15 Europe numbers as unofficial until Oppo confirms regional SKUs — especially because some reports also hint that global variants could differ internally from the China versions (for example, one claim suggests a Snapdragon chip for the global Reno 15). [38]
What this means for buyers: the Reno lineup is splitting into “premium,” “compact,” and “value”
If today’s information holds, Oppo’s Reno strategy for early 2026 looks more segmented than usual:
- Reno 15 Pro: big-screen premium design + max brightness + toughened build
- Reno 15 Pro Mini: compact flagship-style experience (high brightness, premium materials, durability)
- Reno 15: balanced mainstream model
- Reno 15 F / Reno 15 FS: value-oriented global-friendly models that prioritize battery size, AMOLED/120Hz, and price — with storage-based differentiation [39]
The most eye-catching throughline across everything: durability is becoming a headline feature, not just a spec-sheet footnote — and the European listings suggest that IP ratings and big batteries are being pushed even into the midrange variants. [40]
What to watch next
If you’re tracking the Reno 15 rollout, these are the next “confirmation points” likely to matter most:
- Official European announcement of the Reno 15 F / FS models (and whether pricing matches today’s listings). [41]
- Regional spec differences (chipsets, camera sensors, charging bundles) between China and global markets. [42]
- January launch timing, with Oppo Malaysia already pointing at Jan 6 and tipsters pointing at Jan 8 for other markets. [43]
For now, December 23’s takeaway is clear: Oppo’s Reno 15 family is expanding, and Europe is getting early hints of the more affordable Reno 15 “F” line — even before Oppo makes the usual noise.
