The OPPO A15 launched in India in October 2020. It was soon followed by OPPO A15s in December. A month prior to that, the phone received a price cut. However, its price was once again increased in July 2021. Now,  the price of the device has been slashed yet another time in the country.

OPPO has partnered with telecom operator Jio in India to offer a price cut on the 3GB + 32GB variant of the 10-month-old OPPO A15. This version of the device carries a price tag of ₹10,990. But now, it can be purchased at ₹9,991 (₹999 off). Additionally, users can avail Jio recharge benefits worth ₹7,000 as well as no-cost EMI plans.

As far as the handset is concerned, the OPPO A15 sports a plastic build and a 6.52-inch HD+ LCD panel. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio P35 SoC coupled with LPDDR4x RAM.

The phone houses a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 13MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro shooter, and a 2MP depth sensor. It also has a 5MP selfie camera inside a dewdrop notch.

Oppo has just revision the pricing for certain smartphone models in India. This revision in price was for the company’s A series of budget and affordable mid range handsets, with the new prices being live as of today (1st of July 2021).

The news was first shared on Twitter by @Abhishek Yadav and is already reflected on online listings on popular e-retail websites that have these smartphone models in stock. On the social media platform, Abhishek shared a small number of models along with their new revised pricing. This includes the Oppo A11K, which is now available for 8,990 INR (roughly 120 US Dollars). While this was the original pricing of the device, it is still notable since it was launched back in June of last year.

Oppo revised pricing of their Oppo "A" series models from July 1, 2021 in India.

New Pricing
– Oppo A11K ₹8,990

– Oppo A15 2GB+32GB ₹9,490
– Oppo A15 3GB+32GB ₹10,490

-Oppo A15s 4GB+64GB ₹12,490

– Oppo A53s 8GB+128GB ₹17,990#Oppo pic.twitter.com/u6qwzgYaec

Similarly, the Oppo A15 series also saw a price revision, with its 2GB + 32GB variant now being sold for 9,490 INR (roughly 127 US Dollars) while the 3GB + 32GB variant is now available for 10,490 INR (roughly 140 US Dollars). Again, while this isn’t exactly a rise from its launch price, it is still close to its original offering from October 2020. Usually, the prices of smartphones drop within a couple of months, which is especially true for mid range and budget devices.

Lastly, the A15s is now available for 12,490 INR (roughly 167 US Dollars), up from 11,490 INR (roughly 154 US Dollars), while the Oppo A53‘s 8GB + 128GB variant is now priced at 17,990 INR (roughly 241 US Dollars). This also marks a 1,000 INR rise from the original 16,990 INR launch price (roughly 228 US Dollars). Recently, a number of brands have revised the pricing of their products in India.

This includes Xiaomi, which raised the prices for its Mi TVs. Similarly, even the Redmi Note 10 saw its third price hike in India earlier this month. At the moment, the world is suffering from a shortage of semiconductors and various firms are also struggling to maintain a consistent supply for a number of their products. The automobiles and the consumer electronics market are two such affected industries.

OPPO unveiled the OPPO A15 back in October in India. Alongside the device, it’s sibling A15s appeared on multiple certifications. And considering its presence on the radar of leaks lately, OPPO should reveal it anytime now. The latest info is a price leak which suggests that A15s might be an upgraded version.

As reported by MySmartPrice, OPPO A15s will be priced at ₹11,490($156) in India. An earlier poster leak reveals that A15s will have 4GB RAM and 64GB storage. To compare, the OPPO A15 has 2/3GB RAM and 32GB storage variants. It is now available for ₹8,990($122), and ₹9,990($135) respectively. This suggests that the A15s could just be an upgrade in memory but we will have to wait for OPPO to launch it to confirm.

Anyway, a marketing poster shows offers like 5% cashback on ICICI Bank, Federal Bank, Bank of Baroda cards, Zest Money, and more. Additionally, there are No-cost EMI options from Bajaj Finersv, HDB Financial Services, IDFC First, HDFC Bank, Home Credit, Pine Labs.

OPPO A15s Specifications(Expected)

Prior to this, the A15s was spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM website in addition to getting Europe’s EEC, Singapore’s IMDA certifications. However, only a recently leaked poster sheds light on its specifications. It shows a similar design to the A15.

As per the leak, OPPO A15s will have a 6.52-inch HD+ display. The resolution is probably similar to the predecessor(1600×720 pixels). Further, it will feature an ‘AI Triple Camera’ suggesting that it could have the exact same specs as the A15. If true, it will host a 13MP main, and 2x2MP sensors on the rear squircle layout.

Other expected specs are MediaTek Helio P35 SoC, a 4,230mAh battery, a 5MP selfie camera, and more. OPPO hasn’t made the device official yet.

Back in October, OPPO launched the OPPO A15 smartphone in India. Ahead of the launch, the device along with the A15s was spotted on several certifications. Now, the supposed sibling, the OPPO A15s appears on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website suggesting a global launch.

As tipped by Mukul Sharma, a device with model number CPH2179 appears on the SIRIM database. Now, a month ago, a device with the same model number appeared on Singapore’s IMDA and Europe’s EEC certification listed under OPPO. And among this, the IMDA website revealed that the device will be called A15s.

Coming back, the model number is listed as a mobile station with GSM, LTE support. This indicates that the A15s will come with 4G support just like the A15. Not to mention this device has already got India’s BIS certification recently. All this indicates that the device could launch soon globally.

Besides, we think the ‘s’ in the A15 moniker suggests that it could share specs with the OPPO A15. However, we aren’t really sure if it’s a rebrand of OPPO A15 for other markets because their model numbers(CPH2185, CPH2179) are different. Anyway, OPPO hasn’t confirmed anything about this device, and hence, take this guess with a pinch of salt.

Oppo has officially entered the South African(SA) market confirming the early reports on its arrival. The company’s Global division has confirmed via a Twitter post. It is expected to launch three Smartphones, the Oppo A72, A53s, and A15 on October 7th in the country.

The teaser video shared on the tweet has nothing but the company’s logo with some animations. However, media in SA seems to have already got (via GSMArena) the review units of Oppo A72 days before the official launch.

And as per publication named Stuff from SA, Oppo will be testing the market by launching three mid-range phones before venturing into flagships. If the reports are true, Oppo will be launching new flagships in the country going forward. That means, the country will get the next iteration of flagship phones in H1 2021 and not the old ones. Also, the report says that the Oppo A72 will be priced at R7000(ZAR- South African Rand) which is about 2793 Chinese yuan.

Moving on, out of the three devices, we already know about the Oppo A72. It is the best of the bunch with better specifications. However, A15 and A53s seems to be new on the list. That said, specifications of A53s quoted on the report suggests that the device might just be a rebadged version of the Oppo A53 that launched recently in India. And this is evident from the company’s official teasers on its SA website. The rear panel of A53s is very similar to the A53 with triple rear cameras and fingerprint sensor in the middle of the back panel. Besides, the website also has also listed the entire specifications of the budget Enco W11 TWS.

The Oppo A15 on the other hand, is still a mystery. But the report says the device will be a lower-midrange device with a 6.5-inch HD+ display, a triple-camera on the rear panel, and a 4,230mAh battery. Nevertheless, we are sure to get more details as we approach the launch.
