Oppo Reno 15 Pro / Pro+ may feature Dimensity 8500

Oppo has been consistently offering new Dimensity 8000-series on its Reno Pro models for the past few generations. The Reno 13 Pro came with the Dimensity 8350 chip, whereas the Reno 14 Pro featured the Dimensity 8450 SoC. Now, a new update from tipster Smart Pikachu suggests that the Reno 15 Pro could also be equipped with a new Dimensity 8000-series SoC.

Multiple Dimensity 8500 phones are in the works

According to the tipster, some phone brands are developing well-rounded “all-rounder” phones using the upcoming Dimensity 8500, while others are focusing on camera-centric models featuring a 200-megapixel sensor and even a periscope lens in engineering prototypes. Additionally, there are brands working on devices designed for extremely long battery life, reportedly offering up to 10,000mAh capacity.

So far, reports have revealed that Redmi, Honor, and Realme are working on Dimensity 8500-powered phones. These include the Redmi Turbo 5, Honor Power 2, and a Realme Neo 8 series phone, respectively. Among these, the Honor Power 2 is expected to house a 10,000mAh battery.

As can be seen above, the tipster has used the Oppo Reno 15 hashtag, indicating that the series will feature a D8500-powered device. Likely, the Reno 15 Pro / Pro+ model could be equipped with the D8500. Rumors are rife that the Reno 15 series will debut in November this year in China. Therefore, it appears that the Reno 15 Pro / Pro+ could be the first phone to feature the said chipset.

Speaking of the Reno 15 series, recent reports suggest that the lineup will include three models, featuring display sizes of 6.3 inches, 6.59 inches, and 6.78 inches. The 6.3-inch model is expected to come with a 1.5K LTPS OLED display and a periscope camera.

The 6.59-inch variant will reportedly feature a 1.5K LTPS OLED screen, along with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 main camera and a periscope lens. Meanwhile, the 6.78-inch model is said to boast a 1.5K LTPO OLED display, paired with a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 main sensor and a periscope camera. The final marketing names of these models are not known yet.
