The people could not wait to see the new design and features that had been hyped by the company over a long period of time. The advertising campaign emphasized the smooth appearance and a highly developed camera on the phone that attracted a lot of customers.

Reno 15 Pro was to be the highlight of the show as it is an expensive phone with premium specifications. The expectations of people were a machine that could easily and accurately perform heavy duties and capture photographs. However, the truth in the matter has been very different among a good number of customers who are disappointed. Complaints are now dominated on social media platforms and technological forums instead of the commendation that the company sought. This has resulted in a negative backlash because of the juxtaposition of bright commercials and the real experience. This stumbling beginning has marred what should have been a great success on the part of Oppo this year.

Overheating Problems Are a source of concern when it comes to power users and gamers.
Among the most distressing issues mentioned by the end users is the fact that the Reno 15 Pro obtives overheated within a short period of time. The device even heats up to an uncomfortable level when performing a common activity, such as browsing and social media or watching videos, as observed by its owners. Using the phone to play games or record quality videos is unbearable after a few minutes, and the heat becomes unbearable. Such a high amount of heat production implies that the thermal control mechanism within the phone is not coping well. This is also a serious problem since the long-lasting heat may spoil the internal parts and deteriorate the health of the battery with time.
The overheating problem also causes a lot of throttling in the performance of the phone that slows the phone to cool itself. When the processor becomes too hot, it slows down in order to cool down making the games to stutter and lowering the frame rates. Players who purchased the phone based on the performance as was advertised are struggling to play competitive games with ease. The simple act of charging the phone would make it overheat to some alarming rates and there are cases where users are forced to halt midway through the charging process. Such thermostat failure is a serious flaw of the device that is placed in the high middle-range category.
The Photography is ruined by the camera Lags and Bugs.
The primary feature of the Reno 15 Pro that was promoted as the key selling feature was the camera, which has a high-resolution sensor and AI tools. Nevertheless, customers are complaining that the camera application is full of bugs that lead to the painful experience of capturing pictures. Another frequent heartburn is that the shutter delay is too high and after pressing the button, it takes one or two seconds to take the picture. This slowdown has seen most users miss on precious moments and dynamic topics that is annoying to the photography lovers. Also the viewfinder will stutter occasionally and taking shots with the camera in motion becomes hard to frame the images.
The other place where the bugs are common is in the video recording, where users have reported jittery videos, despite activating the stabilization feature. Cases of the camera app crashing completely when changing modes or lenses have been witnessed by some of the owners. The advertised AI functionality mostly does not load or spends too much time to process the photos. These bugs weaken the performance of the hardware of the phone and leave the process of taking pictures cheap and incomplete. As a series that boasts of being a Portrait Expert, such system failures will be a serious setback to its image.
ColorOS 15 Software Glitches and Lag in User Interface.
Reno 15 series was released with the recent release of the Oppo custom operating system, ColorOS 15, which appears to be the source of most of the issues. The user interface has been observed to be slow and unresponsive to users as compared to the earlier models. When opening or closing applications, the animations often stutter and when scrolling the long lists it can be jumpy. The high rate of refresh screen, which ought to be smooth, tends to decrease to low rates without any notice. This gives a visual shock to the user that renders the phone even slower than it is supposed to be.
Another aspect in which the software appears to be obnoxious and malfunctioning is background app management. Apps are often closed on the background in order to conserve battery, which results in delayed notifications and wasted information. Users are forced to restart applications regularly, which is counterproductive to owning a phone that has a large RAM. Random rebooting and the phone random freezing at the lock screen are also reported. These problems in stability indicate that the software was not properly tested and optimized and was brought to the market within a short time.
Angry Customers are the ones that require solutions and quality control.
This onslaught of complaints has resulted in the rise of an increasing number of angry users who are seeking solutions to Oppo. At least a number of them have resorted to internet forums to report their experiences as well as seek possible workarounds to the bugs. The very number of such reports proves that it is a prevalent problem and it is not a few cases when some bad units failed. Customers are regretting that they bought the phone at so young an age and are giving advice to others not to hurry. The anger has been compounded by the lack of direct communication by the company that there is a fix.
