Oppo has officially announced the new K15 Pro smartphone as part of the K15 Pro series. The phone starts at 2999 yuan (around $415 USD), and comes with a “cyberpunk-inspired” design.
Its color options include Cyber Wing, Light Dust Pink, Origin Gray, and a more unusual “Golden Legend” carbon-style finish. The K15 Pro has a noticeably slim camera module, protruding less than 0.6mm, even while featuring a cooling fan.
Oppo has also added a “LanYing breathing light” system that can change colors depending on notifications or phone activity. On top of that, the camera module supports magnetic lens caps, which users can swap out for different styles.
Performance and display
At the core of the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8500 Super chip, paired with Oppo’s own chip-level tuning system called the Tide Engine. This isn’t a flagship processor, but it is capable enough for demanding apps and games.
The phone features a 6.59-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It also features a gamepad-grade gyroscope for more precise motion control in supported titles.
The K15 Pro has a new Swift Cooling Engine that uses airflow ducts and heat dissipation fins, along with what Oppo describes as a triple dustproof design for cooling. The device is rated IP69, and the cooling system can automatically adjust fan speed, keeping noise as low as 19dB at half speed.
As for audio, the K15 Pro uses a stereo dual-speaker setup tuned in collaboration with its Golden Ear Lab and the Xinghai Conservatory of Music.
On the camera side, the phone includes a 50MP main sensor with optical image stabilization, along with an 8MP ultra-wide camera.
The device runs ColorOS 16 and features a 7500mAh battery with 80W charging support.
