The OnePlus 15R 5G has been officially launched in global markets after months of speculation. This smartphone is notable for being one of the first to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 platform and boasts a significant battery capacity outside of China.
In terms of design, the device includes a slightly raised rear camera module shaped like a pill, which houses the camera sensors and an integrated LED flash. It is constructed with a metal frame for enhanced durability and comes with multiple certifications, including IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K, ensuring strong resistance to dust, water immersion, and high-pressure jets.
The front of the phone features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, making it suitable for gaming and smooth daily use. The display can reach peak brightness levels of up to 1,800 nits, improving visibility in bright outdoor conditions.
The OnePlus 15R is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, paired with 12 GB of RAM and storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB. Connectivity features include 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and NFC, ensuring compatibility with the latest wireless technologies.
A key highlight of the device is its battery life, featuring a 7,400 mAh silicon-carbon battery with 80W SUPERVOOC wired fast charging, a combination not commonly found in global flagship smartphones.
The camera system includes a 50 MP main sensor (Sony IMX906, f/1.8, OIS) and an 8 MP ultrawide lens with a 112-degree field of view. The front-facing camera is a 32 MP sensor. The device runs on Android 16 with OxygenOS 16, which includes various AI-powered tools such as writing assistance and object removal in photos. OnePlus has also committed to providing four major Android updates and six years of security patches.
In addition to the smartphone, OnePlus introduced the OnePlus Pad Go 2, aimed at users looking for solid features at competitive prices. The tablet features a 12.1-inch LCD display with a resolution of 2,800 × 1,980, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision support. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultra, with options for 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of storage, available in both Wi-Fi-only and 5G variants. The tablet includes 8 MP cameras on both the front and rear, a 10,050 mAh battery with 33W SUPERVOOC charging, and runs on Android 16 with OxygenOS 16.
