OPPO aims to target the young and the young at heart by tapping into their taste in fashion and style to design products with breathtaking appeal. This time OPPO collaborated with famed designer Karim Rashid to create two trendy colours for the OPPO R15 Pro, namely Cosmic Purple and Ruby Red. The Cosmic Purple and Ruby Red phones are created using an aluminium frame with more transparent glass in new gradient design, allowing light and shadow to play off with the colours whilst creating unlimited creative possibilities for users. These ethereal colour designs of OPPO R15 Pro reflect both OPPO’s designers and insights into what aesthetics appeal to young consumers around the globe.
Another prominent design feature upgrade in this model is the Super Full Screen. OPPO R15 Pro comes equipped with a unique 6.28-inch bezel-less screen that features a resolution of 2280×1080 and an aspect ratio of 19:9, a super-high screen-to-body ratio. The OPPO Super Full Screen is not only a notched display (that has come to show that its a new generation intelligent phone) but also with enhanced customised standby Multitasking functions and deep system optimizations based on its ColorOS 5.0. The narrow left and right frames can provide convenient notifications shortcuts to multiple functions and third-party apps.

I shot the 2 sets of photos below using the Oppo R15 Pro. The ones on the left on normal mode and the ones on the right using bokeh mode. Very impressed with the astounding low light photography which is great for shooting portrait/ people (although quite expected since its an Oppo).
