The Oppo Reno 15 has recently been put through its paces on Geekbench, revealing some impressive performance metrics that could give Google’s Pixel 10 a run for its money. The benchmark results, shared by tipster Anvin on X, indicate that the Oppo Reno 15 or Reno 15 Pro is powered by a Dimensity 8450 chip and boasts a hefty 16GB of RAM. With a single-core score of 1668 and a multi-core score of 6274, the Oppo Reno 15 is positioned as a strong contender in the mid-priced smartphone segment.
Comparing the Oppo Reno 15 to Google’s Pixel 10, which is priced at £799, the Oppo device is expected to be significantly cheaper, potentially around £200 less. Despite the impressive performance of the Oppo Reno 15, Google may not have much to worry about due to Oppo’s historical approach to global availability. The company’s distribution strategy has been inconsistent, with select flagship models not making their way to certain markets.
In the UK, for example, the Oppo Reno 14 range was notably absent, raising doubts about whether the Oppo Reno 15 family will be released in the region. While there are rumors of a global launch for the Oppo Reno 15 and Reno 15 Pro, it remains uncertain if the UK will be included in the rollout. This lack of clarity could hinder Oppo’s ability to compete with established smartphone players in the UK market.
Furthermore, it appears unlikely that the range-topping Oppo Reno 15 Pro Max will make an appearance in global markets. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its availability, Oppo is expected to officially announce the Reno 15 range in China before the end of the year.
In summary, while the Oppo Reno 15 showcases impressive performance on paper, concerns about global availability and market penetration may limit its impact on the smartphone landscape. Google’s Pixel 10, with its established presence and distribution network, may not be too concerned about the competition posed by the Oppo Reno 15.
