OPPO R15 and R15 Plus teased with iPhone X-style notch
August 19, 2025
OPPO is teasing a new pair of flagships that appear to be jumping on the ‘notch’ bandwagon. The Chinese giant shared a silhouetted image of a new device onWeibo(viaGSMArena), alongside the monikers “R15” and “R15 Plus”, which shares a striking similarity to theiPhone X.
Aside from the rectangular cut-out at the top of the display, there isn’t too much to go on. If you squint, however, it’s possible to just make out a very tiny bezel around the phone’s ‘chin’. Combined with what appears to be a near edge-to-edge display, it seems likely that OPPO’s latest will be packing quite a high screen-to-body ratio.
Very little else is known about the OPPO R15 and R15 Plus, but there’s some speculation that the pair will launch rockingAndroid 8.1 Oreoout-of-the-box with Color OS 4.0 on top, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 700 series chipset sat under the hood. Some form of 3D sensing technology – with support for facial recognition security and animated emojis – has also beenrumored.
Until we see the R15 series in the flesh, the main takeaway for now is that OPPO joins a growing list of Android OEMs that have taken ‘inspiration’ from Apple’s premium flagship for their latest devices.
With Android P’s development team reportedly making a concerted effort tosupport iPhone X-style notches, I very much doubt that OPPO,Asus, and seeminglyHuaweiandLG, will be the only manufacturers to embrace #notchlife in the not-to-distant future.
