With the expected launch in December 2025 or early 2026, the OnePlus 15R is generating the needed buzz ahead of its launch. It’s worth noting that the OnePlus 15R will be an affordable sibling to the OnePlus 15, focusing on gaming and daily performance for users who want premium specs without a flagship price tag.
The OnePlus 15R is expected to feature a 6.83-inch AMOLED display capable of delivering a 165Hz refresh rate. The display is rumoured to have a peak brightness of 1,800nits.
OnePlus 15R Expected Specs
If we talk about the core, then the OnePlus 15R is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. The chipset features a 3nm TSMC process coupled with the Adreno 840 GPU. The device is expected to offer up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

At the same time, the camera module is rumoured to have a rear dual camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 32MP front camera. The cameras have been kept balanced as OnePlus has primarily focused on making this device affordable, coupled with good gaming and device responsiveness.
As the OnePlus 15R will be an Indian variant of the China-exclusive OnePlus Ace 6 (or the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6T), it is expected to run OxygenOS based on Android 16.
