Last year, OPPO had launched OPPO R11s and R11s Plus smartphones with upgraded specifications in the latter half of 2017 after launching the OPPO R11 and R11 Plus phones in June. Hence, the rumor mill been speculating that the upgraded OPPO R15s and R15s Pro may arrive in the next few months since the company had launched OPPO R15 and R15 Pro phones in March this year. Kumamoto Technology, a leakster from China has shared an image seems to have been snapped during a media event in the country. OPPO seems to be one of the sponsors of the event as the banners of the company can be seen in the image. What’s interesting about the image is that it features R17 billboards too. This suggests that the company has already started teasing the R17 smartphone in the home country. Probably, it may launch OPPO R17 and R17 Pro as the successor editions of R15 and R15 Pro.

As of this writing, there is no information available on the specs of the OPPO R17. In the recent, multiple Chinese leaksters including Kumamoto Technology have claimed that OPPO and Vivo could be the first companies to launch smartphones with 10 GB of RAM. Apart from sharing the above image, the leakster has once again shared his previous Weibo post in which he had claimed that smartphone featuring 10 GB RAM may launch by the end of the year.

He could be hinting that the OPPO R17 will come with 10 GB of RAM. However, it seems unlikely because the R15 duo feature 6 GB of RAM. Since the R-series of devices are not flagship phones from the company, there is a possibility that there could be another 2018 flagship phone from the company that will feature 10 GB of RAM. It is speculated that it could be equipped with Snapdragon 710 SoC.

A couple of unidentified OPPO phones such as PBBM00 / PBBT00, PBCM00 / PBCT00, PACT20 and PACM20 have surfaced on TENAA in the recent weeks. Probably, these may include the upcoming OPPO R17 and R17 Pro smartphones.

Even though Find X has got all the attention of Oppo’s fans, it seems that the company is preparing to release another brand new smartphone from its upper-midrange series: Oppo R15S. An alleged unit of this phone has just been spotted on a TENAA listing. The device appears with exactly the same aesthetics, including a full aluminum body in Blue color. The handset sports a power key on its right sight and a volume balancer on the left side. The back cover houses a dual camera setup in a horizontal configuration and a flash LED, but there is no fingerprint reader on the back side and neither on the front side. So, it should be embedded in the display such as Vivo X21.

The alleged Oppo R15S has been certified by TENAA in two variants identified by the codenames PABT00 and PABM00. Given that both models feature a 6.2-inch display, we do not believe that they are the standard and the Pro version of the handset. Their body measures 156.2 x 75.6 x 8.2 mm. The battery has a huge capacity of 4100 mAh, bigger than the standard R15: this is the main difference between this handset and its predecessor. Unfortunately, TENAA did not disclose any other information about the specs of the device.

Given that it is probably the Oppo R15S and it features the same design, we believe it will come with one of the best Qualcomm’s midrange processors. So, it should have either the octa-core Snapdragon 660 or the new Snapdragon 710. The SoC should be paired with 4 or 6 GB of RAM while the internal storage should go up to 128 or 256 GB. We also expect the rear dual camera of the Oppo R15S to provide a great performance as well as the support of artificial intelligence for portrait mode and other smart features.
