OPPO R15 Pro with AI-enhanced cameras lands in Malaysia priced at RM2399

The OPPO marque is best known for making a host of selfie-centric phones, in particular their recently released F7 though this time around they are gunning for a somewhat more mainstream audience with their new R15 Pro that ticks all the hallmarks of a flagship phone. Slick, ultra-glossy finish? Check. Dual camera array? Ditto. Huge notched display? All here and accounted for.

Externally, the OPPO R15 Pro strikes an impressive looking form factor and design with ultra slim side bezels and a thinness that’s just a mere 7.4mm thick. What immediately draws the eye is its deep candy-coloured glossy gradient finish that comes in your choice of a deep Cosmic Purple or a luscious Ruby Red.

Up front, the OPPO R15 Pro sports a notched 6.28-inch, FHD+ OLED panel that has a generous 19:9 aspect ratio which lends it a huge amount of screen real estate. At first blush, the lusher, richer OLED panel and wide aspect ratio lends itself well to enjoying gaming and, most of all, movies onscreen. Paired with this is a Snapdragon 660 2.2GHz octacore processor running Oreo 8.1 and OPPO’s own Color OS 4.0 with a generous 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage to keep things going along at a nippy pace. This is paired with a 3,430 mAh battery with OPPO’s VOOC Flash Charge fast-charging tech under the hood.

The OPPO R15 Pro’s biggest draw, aesthetics aside, is its rear dual camera array. You’re looking at a 16-MP and 20-MP camera, both with an f/1.7 aperture and Sony-hewn IMX519 sensors while the front sports a 20-MP f/2.0 selfie snapper. Like what it says on the tin, the R15 Pro earns its suffix on account of a bevy of AI augmented features to help take better shots including an AI scene recognition mode and a gender-optimised AI beautification mode. Of note is the inclusion of a Portrait mode that changes the lighting when you take selfies and portraiture to give it extra aesthetic zing.

All these flagship class features clocks in at a hefty RM2,399. Preorders start from today till 31 May 2018 and you can plonk your order request online at OPPO’s official website, their partner etailers at Lazada, Shopee and 11Street Malaysia or physically at the OPPO concept store, their telco partner Celcom or via their chain-store partners Senheng and SenQ.
