The OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus 15R Ace Edition will be available for sale through Amazon and the online store of OnePlus India. The OnePlus 15R will be available in Charcoal Black, Mint Green and Electric Violet colours.

OnePlus 15R Specifications and Features

The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to be powered by Qualcomm’s newly launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which is made on a 3nm process. OnePlus says that this will be the first smartphone to globally launch with this processor. It will also come with a G2 Wi-Fi chip and a standalone Touch Response chip for better linking and responsiveness. It will ship with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16.

Recent Geekbench listings reveal good performance, with the OnePlus 15R scoring 2,784 points in single-core and 9,329 points in multi-core tests — and a maximum frequency of up to 3.32 GHz.

In terms of screen, the teaser shows that it will come with a 165 Hz refresh rate panel and one of the fastest displays in his chunk. It will also be rated with IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K for good measure, meaning it will resist dust and water immersion, while even high-pressure water jets shouldn't get in the way.

As well, battery life is another highlight. The OnePlus 15R has a massive 7,400mAh battery, unusually large for a high-end smartphone.

For photography, the phone will offer a dual rear camera setup of 50MP with an added 8MP ultra-wide snapper. For selfies and video calling, it will have a 32MP front camera. OnePlus has also teased 4K video recording at up to 120 fps, so this makes it attractive for creators.

Final Thoughts

Based on a Snapdragon-branded flagship chip, a beefy battery, a high refresh rate display and strong durability scores, the OnePlus 15R is looking to set itself as a premium product. The Ace Edition is set to increase the population of the lineup.

All will be revealed at a launch later today, potentially including sales and official pricing details, but based on what we know now, the OnePlus 15R series looks set to be one of the most aggressive pushes into premium of the year.
