OnePlus is set to expand its premium mid-range lineup in India with the launch of the OnePlus 15R, arriving in just two days. The R series has traditionally been positioned as a performance-focused alternative to the company’s flagship models, and early indications suggest that the upcoming phones will continue on that path. Although OnePlus hasn’t officially confirmed most of the specifications or the India price, the device’s debut in China as the OnePlus Ace 6T has already revealed a lot about what Indian buyers can expect. Let’s take a look at the leaked price, battery, display, camera and other details of the OnePlus 15R.

OnePlus 15R launching in India in 2 days: Check out leaked battery, display, camera, chipset and other details

The biggest discussion about OnePlus 15R is its processor. The phone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, making it the first phone globally to feature this non-elite version of Qualcomm’s latest flagship silicon. According to OnePlus China president Li Jie, the Ace 6T is the first smartphone to run this chip, which is reportedly co-developed with OnePlus. The company is highlighting gaming performance as a key strength with claims of smooth high-refresh-rate gameplay and a custom gaming kernel that can sustain 165Hz performance in supported titles.

Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 used in the more expensive OnePlus 15, the chip inside the 15R is a little slower. The standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 runs at lower CPU clock speeds and doesn’t have Qualcomm’s high-performance memory, which is designed to improve bandwidth and reduce latency. Still, it should offer a notable jump over last year’s hardware and compete strongly with phones that cost significantly more, including OnePlus’s own 13″ in real-world use.

In terms of design, the OnePlus 15R is expected to follow the brand’s new visual language. The teasers point to the same circular-shaped camera module that has appeared on recent OnePlus phones. On the front, OnePlus has officially confirmed a 165Hz refresh rate display, underscoring the phone’s focus on gamers and power users. Leak from China suggests the panel could be a 6.7-inch OLED screen
With 1.5K resolution, strikes a balance between sharpness and battery efficiency.

Battery life may be another area where the 15R stands out. The Ace 6T packs a massive 8,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support. If OnePlus brings the same configuration to India, it will be the largest battery seen on a OnePlus smartphone so far. The company’s marketing around long-lasting performance and endurance also hints strongly in this direction. Such a setup could make the 15R especially attractive to heavy users who prioritize gaming and screen-on time.

In terms of memory and storage, the leak suggests that the phone may sport up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage.

When it comes to the camera, expectations are relatively modest. The phone is reported to have a dual rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 32-megapixel front camera along with an 8-megapixel secondary camera. This setup indicates that photography won’t be the main selling point, especially when compared to full-fledged flagships in OnePlus’ lineup.

Other expected features include a metal mid frame, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, an X-axis linear motor for better haptics, and NFC support. In terms of software, while the China model runs ColorOS, the Indian version is likely to come with OxygenOS based on Android 16.

OnePlus 15R: price in India (expected)

Pricing remains the biggest unanswered question. In China, the Ace 6T price starts at CNY 2,599, which is around Rs 33,000. However, Indian prices are always higher due to taxes and market conditions. The previous OnePlus 13R was launched in India for Rs 42,999, and the 15R is expected to be priced under Rs 50,000. The main reason for this is that the OnePlus 13s is already selling for Rs 54,999, and OnePlus is unlikely to overlap its own models too closely.

For now, these details are based on leaks and China-specific information, and buyers should treat these with caution until OnePlus makes things official. With just two days left for the launch in India, clarity on pricing and final specifications is not far away. So, you can stay connected to India Today Tech for all the details.
