Weekly poll results: the small Oppo Reno15 Pro has a shot, the other two miss the mark | Infinium-tech
Not long ago, it seemed like mini smartphones were almost out of business – now they’re thriving with many manufacturers launching models at multiple price points. Oppo launched one in the Reno15 series and it was the clear winner of last week’s poll. But how successful will it be outside its Reno15 family?
In India, the Oppo Reno15 Pro, aka Reno15 Pro Mini, couldn’t be out of the market and almost a quarter of the votes went in its favor – notably, there are a lot of people who think they can get a better deal with other smaller smartphones. Still, if you look at the yellow pie slice, you’ll see that this phone isn’t losing many buyers to its Reno15 siblings.
On the other side of the size spectrum, the Oppo Reno15 Pro Max, aka the Reno15 Pro, got second place in India, but that’s no silver medal – it’s more of a “second to last loser”, given that less than 10% of the votes went in favor of the Max. Admittedly, some potential buyers were left out due to regional availability issues (5.5%), although not as many as for the Mini model (8.1%). Well, we still haven’t heard anything about a wider launch.
Again, look at the yellow slice – it’s actually the largest of the three, suggesting that people are more likely to go with one of the other two Reno15 models than the Max.
That second model likely won’t be the vanilla Oppo Reno15, though (surprisingly, it’s also called “Reno15” in India). Nearly half of voters decided they could get better hardware for their money outside the Reno15 series. The corresponding share in the Pro Max poll is also quite high, but here it is the largest of the three.
And the vanilla model has no excuse for its low 10.2% “yes” share. Not because it’s more widely available – the phones are available in the same two markets. No, people don’t care about this phone.
While scrolling through the comments, we came across some kind words for this Oppo Reno15 trio. Leaving aside complaints about the naming, the major issue with these three seems to be their price. This wasn’t the only concern, but the value proposition just isn’t there – a few months of price drops might make people look at these Reno15 models again.
