Oppo A15s

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Oppo A15s at Rs 22,999 improves upon the A15 by doubling the RAM to 4 GB — a meaningful upgrade that keeps more apps alive in the background and reduces the frustrating reload cycle. The Helio P35 processor handles basic tasks without drama, and the 6.52-inch display at 269 PPI is comfortable for reading and browsing. The triple-camera system with a 13 MP f/2.2 main sensor and PDAF captures reliable daylight photos, and the autofocus ensures sharp shots of moving subjects. The 8 MP f/2.0 selfie camera handles video calls adequately. With 64 GB of storage, file management is less frequent than on 32 GB phones. The 4230 mAh battery is smaller than the 5000 mAh standard, which means heavy users may need to charge before evening. At 7.9 mm thin, the phone is one of the slimmest in this batch, fitting comfortably in pockets. This model suits buyers who want a slim Oppo phone with adequate RAM for basic multitasking. The Villaon V50s at Rs 21,399 saves you Rs 1,600 and matches the A15s on RAM at 4 GB (expandable to 8 GB) and storage at 64 GB. The Oppo's slimmer 7.9 mm profile is a genuine design advantage — it sits more comfortably in pockets than thicker phones. The A15s's triple-camera system with PDAF provides more shooting versatility than the Villaon's basic 8 MP camera. The Villaon's 4000 mAh battery is slightly smaller than the Oppo's 4230 mAh. Oppo's brand also carries better resale value. For buyers who prioritise slim design and brand assurance, the A15s delivers a more refined package; the Villaon appeals to those who want to save Rs 1,600 and do not care about phone thickness.
