We haven't heard from Oppo about the launch of the K15 series yet, but reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared key specs of an unannounced smartphone that could be the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro. According to DCS, this unannounced mid-range smartphone, featuring a "waterproof" and "theoretically dustproof" cooling fan for active cooling, is powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 was also believed to come in a 1+7 configuration, but reliable tipster Digital Chat Station claimed it will come in a 2+6 configuration like its Elite counterpart. That means two prime cores and six performance cores. The tipster also said that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 would use the Adreno 840 GPU, but its performance won't be the same as the Elite chip's.
The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 was announced in late September and is built on the 3nm node by TSMC, but according to the latest rumor, Samsung will be tasked with the production of the "for Galaxy" iteration that the company has been implementing in its flagship phones for the past couple of generations.

Oppo is apparently already working on the K15 mid-range series, which will succeed the K13 line, skipping over K14 because of tetraphobia. The K15 line is said to comprise three models, with three different screen sizes. The middle child will get a 6.5-inch panel or thereabouts. The top of the line model will allegedly be powered by Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC, not to be confused with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
