Oppo Reno15 hits Geekbench: what the early scores reveal

Oppo’s Reno15 has quietly shown up on Geekbench, giving us the clearest hint yet at what the next Reno generation is packing under the hood. The tested unit posted a single-core score of 1,668 and a multi-core score of 6,274, figures that line up with strong upper-midrange Android hardware.

More interesting than the numbers is the silicon: a MediaTek Dimensity 8450 paired with 16GB of RAM. The software on the prototype is listed as Android 16 with ColorOS 16, suggesting Oppo aims to ship the series on the latest platform from day one.

Which Reno15 was tested? Based on current chatter, this looks like the vanilla Reno15 or the Reno15 Pro. The rumored Reno15 Pro Max is tipped to jump to the Dimensity 9400, so the benchmarked device using 8450 likely isn’t the Max. Either way, these scores indicate plenty of headroom for everyday use, social apps, and gaming at mainstream settings, with the extra RAM helping multitasking and long-term fluidity.

Timing remains the hot topic. Oppo is expected to unveil the Reno15 trio in China before year’s end, with global availability penciled in for early 2026. That cadence is already testing patience in some regions – readers remind us they’re still waiting for broader Reno14 distribution. The staggered rollout is a familiar Oppo pattern, but it means some fans will watch two generations overlap on store shelves. There’s also debate about market segmentation: if Realme 15 lands with similar core hardware, Oppo may differentiate through design, camera tuning, faster charging, or IP rating. Expect Oppo to lean on ColorOS features and imaging to justify the badge.

As always with pre-launch sightings, treat specifics beyond the benchmark sheet as provisional. Storage tiers and camera stacks aren’t confirmed, and regional SKUs can vary. Still, the picture is sharpening: Dimensity 8450 + 16GB RAM + Android 16/ColorOS 16 forms a confident baseline, while the Pro Max should cater to spec chasers with a step-up chipset. If Oppo keeps pace with recent Reno design trends – sleeker frames, refined finishes, and improved thermals – the 8450 should deliver sustained performance close to its early numbers.

Community sentiment mirrors that split reality: excitement about modern internals, frustration about slow rollouts, and curiosity about how the Reno15 will stack up against sibling brands. If Oppo nails global timing – and resists trimming IP ratings or useful extras in certain markets – the Reno15 could be a very balanced upgrade when it finally touches down.
