Oppo fans may need to temper their excitement about the upcoming Oppo Reno15 Pro Max, as new leaks suggest that this much-anticipated flagship might remain exclusive to China. While the Reno15 lineup is expected to include three models – the standard Reno15, the Reno15 Pro, and the top-tier Reno15 Pro Max – only the first two are reportedly set for an international release. 
If true, this decision could frustrate many enthusiasts outside China who have been hoping for Oppo to offer its full premium lineup globally.
According to an insider post circulating on X, the Reno15 Pro Max will not be launching internationally, though the Reno15 and Reno15 Pro will. Oppo hasn’t confirmed this yet, but it wouldn’t be the first time the company limited its higher-end phones to its home market. Similar strategies have been seen in previous Reno generations, often leaving European and Indian users with mid-tier versions instead of the full flagship experience.
The rumored specs of the Reno15 Pro Max make this restriction even harder to swallow. The device is said to feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the phone would be the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset – one of the most advanced in its class – paired with a massive 6,500 mAh battery. Camera enthusiasts will likely drool over its 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP5 main sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP front camera designed for crisp selfies. It will also debut with Android 16 and ColorOS 16 right out of the box.
Many users online have already voiced frustration about Oppo’s selective releases, especially after Europe only received a limited Reno14 variant with reduced camera specs. With the Reno15 lineup, Oppo seems to be continuing this pattern – reserving the most powerful model for its domestic audience. Whether this is a strategic market choice or simply a logistical decision remains unclear, but it’s certain that international fans feel left behind. Some even accuse the brand of following Apple’s naming logic too closely, turning the Reno15 Pro Max into another ‘Pro Max’ clone rather than a truly global flagship.
For now, all we can do is wait for Oppo’s official confirmation. But if these leaks hold true, many outside China may once again have to settle for smaller screens and fewer features – while the most advanced Reno stays home.
