OnePlus has officially launched the OnePlus 15R today, December 17, 2025, and it’s already creating massive buzz across India, Europe, and North America. Packed with top-tier hardware and aggressive pricing, the 15R is being called a true flagship killer — and for good reason.
Powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, the OnePlus 15R aims to deliver premium performance without the premium price tag.
Big Display, Bigger Experience
The OnePlus 15R features a massive 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED display that feels built for gamers and binge-watchers alike. With a 165Hz refresh rate, LTPO technology, and Dolby Vision support, everything from scrolling to gaming feels ultra-smooth and immersive.
Out of the box, the phone runs OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16, paired with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, ensuring fast performance and long-term reliability.
Massive Battery with Super-Fast Charging
Battery life is one of the biggest highlights. Reports suggest a huge 7,400mAh to 8,300mAh battery, making it one of the largest batteries in its segment. Combined with 100W SuperVOOC fast charging, the phone can power up in minutes — perfect for heavy users.
Camera & Premium Design Touches
On the camera side, the OnePlus 15R packs a 50MP main sensor with an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while the front features a 16MP selfie shooter. It’s designed for clean, social-media-ready shots.
Design-wise, OnePlus keeps things premium with:
Metal-glass build
Iconic Alert Slider
IP65 water resistance
Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
Color options include Charcoal Black, Mint Breeze, and Electric Violet, giving users stylish choices.
Flagship-Level Performance Benchmarks
In Geekbench tests, the OnePlus 15R scores an impressive 2,784 (single-core) and 9,329 (multi-core). With the Adreno 829 GPU, it competes closely with much more expensive Snapdragon 8 Elite phones.
Extra features like a G2 Wi-Fi chip and Touch Response Chip further boost gaming and connectivity performance.
Price That Makes It Dangerous
The expected price in India starts between ₹47,000 and ₹49,999 for the 12GB/256GB variant. The device will be available via Amazon and official OnePlus stores after launch.
At this price point, the OnePlus 15R positions itself as a serious threat to 2026 flagship smartphones.
The OnePlus 15R isn’t just another upgrade — it’s a bold statement. Powerful, stylish, and aggressively priced, it could be the most balanced smartphone of the year.
