Introduction

The OPPO A15 is an Entry-Tier smartphone in the ViserMark ranking (Smartphones priced between 0-199 EURO). It is equipped with a humble chipset, the MediaTek MT6765.

OPPO has powered the A15 with a 4230 mAh capacity battery, more than enough to serve its modest component.

The overall Battery Performance Score is now a global score taking calculations from Battery Life, Power Efficiency and Charging Times.

From the OPPO A15 test results, we have given this Smartphone a ViserMark Battery Performance Score of 49. The Battery Performance Label, being lower than 50 indicates that it is one of the mid-performing Smartphones and has been ranked in 34th place of the best Battery Performance Smartphones as tested by SmartViser.

Power Efficiency is calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity. This is expressed in “Leaves" and reflects a rating between 1 being least and 5 being the most power-efficient.

The OPPO A15 achieved an overall Power Efficiency Score of 2, placing the device 21st within the ranking for Power Efficiency.

Conclusion

To conclude, the OPPO A15 performance is good given the battery capacity (4230mAh) and the modest components it uses, its score stands very close to other Entry Tier devices with a similar battery capacity like the Realme C11 with a performance of 50 or the Xiaomi Redmi with a score of 49.
