The next wave of mid-range smartphones from Oppo and Poco is already generating buzz, with new leaks shedding light on the chipset configurations and key specifications of the Oppo K15 Turbo series and the Poco X8 Pro lineup.
Both brands appear to be gearing up for a launch in the coming weeks, with India being one of the key markets. Though official confirmation is pending, these leaks give a strong indication of what to expect.
Chipsets
According to tipster Sanju Choudhary on X (formerly Twitter), both smartphone series are expected to feature MediaTek Dimensity chipsets, with configurations varying between standard and Pro/Max variants.
Expected Chipset Breakdown
| Model | Chipset |

| Oppo K15 Turbo | MediaTek Dimensity 8500 |
| Oppo K15 Turbo Pro | MediaTek Dimensity 9500s or Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (rumoured) |
While the Dimensity 9500s is said to offer flagship-grade performance, there are conflicting reports about the Oppo K15 Turbo Pro, with some sources hinting at Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (built on a 3nm process) instead.
