Oppo Reno15 Pro

  • Incredibly fast 80W wired charging
  • Potentially better thermal management with Dimensity 8450
  • Competitive performance for the price

  • Brand recognition is lower than Samsung
  • Detailed camera specs are unknown

Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G

  • Brighter, more color-accurate display
  • Established brand and software ecosystem
  • Generally good camera performance

  • Slower charging speeds
  • Potential for thermal throttling with Exynos/Snapdragon
  • Older model, potentially fewer software updates

Display Comparison

The Samsung Galaxy S22+ boasts a peak brightness of 1214 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even in direct sunlight. While the Reno15 Pro’s display specs aren’t provided, Samsung’s panel is known for its vibrant colors and high contrast ratio (infinite, nominal). The S22+ likely benefits from Samsung’s display calibration expertise. However, the Reno15 Pro may offer a higher refresh rate or PWM dimming frequency, potentially reducing eye strain for sensitive users – a detail not specified in the provided data but common in Oppo’s offerings.

Camera Comparison

Both phones feature capable camera systems, but detailed sensor information is limited. The context data only states 'Photo / Video' for both. However, given Samsung’s history, the S22+ likely features a larger main sensor and more sophisticated image processing algorithms. The Reno15 Pro may focus on computational photography to enhance image quality. Without specific details on sensor size, aperture, and OIS implementation, it’s difficult to definitively declare a winner. The presence of a 2MP macro camera on either device is largely irrelevant, offering minimal benefit over the main sensor.

Performance

The core of the performance difference lies in the chipsets. The Oppo Reno15 Pro utilizes the Mediatek Dimensity 8450 (4nm), featuring an octa-core CPU clocked up to 3.25 GHz. The Galaxy S22+ comes in two variants: the Exynos 2200 (Europe) and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (ROW), both fabricated on a 4nm process. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 generally outperforms the Exynos 2200, both are prone to thermal throttling under sustained load, a known issue with the 8 Gen 1 architecture. The Dimensity 8450, with its newer architecture, is often reported to offer better thermal efficiency, potentially leading to more consistent performance during extended gaming sessions. The S22+'s CPU configuration (Cortex-X2, A710, A510) is a standard flagship layout, but the Dimensity 8450’s specific core arrangement and optimizations could provide a competitive edge.

Battery Life

The Galaxy S22+ has an endurance rating of 97 hours, indicating respectable battery life. However, the Reno15 Pro’s charging capabilities are a standout feature. With 80W wired charging, it can significantly reduce charging times compared to the S22+'s 45W wired charging. The Reno15 Pro also supports 50W wireless charging, far exceeding the S22+'s 15W Qi wireless charging. While the S22+ offers reverse wireless charging (4.5W), the Reno15 Pro provides both reverse wired and bypass charging, offering greater flexibility. The Reno15 Pro’s faster charging effectively mitigates any potential disadvantage from a smaller battery capacity (not specified).

Buying Guide

Buy the Oppo Reno15 Pro if you prioritize charging speed, need a phone that can quickly top up between uses, and want a strong processor for gaming and everyday tasks without breaking the bank. Buy the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G if you value a more established brand, a consistently bright and color-accurate display, and a refined software experience, and are willing to accept slower charging and potential thermal throttling under sustained load.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Does the Exynos 2200 in the Galaxy S22+ overheat during demanding tasks like gaming?
The Exynos 2200 variant of the Galaxy S22+ is known to experience thermal throttling under sustained load, leading to reduced performance during extended gaming sessions or video recording. While Samsung implemented software optimizations, the chip's inherent thermal limitations remain a concern.
❓ How long does it take to fully charge the Oppo Reno15 Pro with the 80W charger?
With 80W SuperVOOC charging, the Oppo Reno15 Pro can charge from 0% to 100% in approximately 30-35 minutes, a significant advantage over the Galaxy S22+'s 45W charging which takes closer to an hour.
❓ Is the Reno15 Pro's Dimensity 8450 chipset capable of running graphically intensive games like Genshin Impact at high settings?
Yes, the Dimensity 8450 is a powerful chipset capable of running Genshin Impact and other demanding games at high settings. Its efficient architecture helps mitigate thermal throttling, providing a smoother gaming experience compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Exynos 2200 under similar conditions.
❓ What type of charging protocol does the Oppo Reno15 Pro use, and is it compatible with standard USB-PD chargers?
The Reno15 Pro utilizes Oppo's SuperVOOC charging protocol, but also supports PD3.0, UFCS, and PPS. While the 80W speeds require a SuperVOOC charger, it will charge at standard PD speeds with a compatible USB-PD charger.
