Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming OnePlus 15R ahead of its much-anticipated debut in the country, including its launch date, expected price in India, specifications, features, and design.

OnePlus 15R India Launch Timeline

The OnePlus 15R will be launched in India on December 17, along with the OnePlus Pad Go 2. It will be unveiled in the country as the second handset in the lineup after the OnePlus 15 debuted in India on November 13.

OnePlus 15R Price in India, Availability (Expected)

OnePlus 15R price in India has yet to be revealed by the company. In China, pricing for the OnePlus Ace 6T starts at CNY 2,599 (roughly Rs. 33,000) for the base variant. It is worth noting that this price does not account for purchasing power parity adjustments, local taxes, and the rising costs of DRAM and other smartphone components, and the price of the handset in India could be higher.

However, it is also expected to be priced below the flagship OnePlus 15, which was launched at Rs. 72,999 for the base variant with 12GB RAM + 256GB storage. Additionally, it is said to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 6T, which costs CNY 2,599 (roughly Rs. 33,000) for the base variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.

The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to be available for purchase in the country in Charcoal Black and Minty Green colour options via Amazon and the OnePlus India online store. It could go on sale via offline retail stores, too.

The smartphone maker has confirmed that it will be IP66 + IP68 + IP69 + IP69K rated for dust and water resistance. It will also sport a hole punch display cutout, which might house the front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

Display

The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to be equipped with a display, which will deliver up to 165Hz of screen refresh rate, the same as the flagship OnePlus 15.

Performance and OS

The OnePlus 15R will run on OxygenOS 16 in India, which is based on Android 16. Powering the smartphone will be Qualcomm's octa core Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which is built on a 3nm process.
