OPPO Reno 15 Pro Review: Beautiful Design, Big Battery, and a “Pro” Camera That Doesn’t Quite Deliver

As a U.S.-focused phone reviewer, it’s nice every now and then to take the blinders off and see what’s available in the rest of the world. While OPPO kinda-sorta has a presence here in the United States via OnePlus, I wanted to take a look at OPPO’s offerings directly. The company sent me the OPPO Reno 15 Pro, the Reno 15, and the OPPO Watch S. The Reno 15 Pro is obviously the headliner here, but I appreciated the chance to take a look at the other devices as well.

4Patriots Patriot Power Generator 2200X Review: 2,240Wh Backup Power with Fast Charging and an Included 200W Solar Panel

Sometimes you need to plan ahead for emergencies. Modern homes rely on electricity for nearly everything, and when the power goes out, the inconvenience can turn serious very quickly. If you want backup power without dealing with gasoline, fumes, or engine maintenance, the 4Patriots Patriot Power Generator 2200X is positioned as a premium alternative to traditional generators. It offers a large battery, strong output, quiet operation, and bundled solar charging. This portable power station is heavy and limited to four AC outlets, but for home emergency use, it delivers reliable, predictable power without the usual generator headaches.
