The OnePlus 15R India latest launch marks an exciting addition to the brand's global lineup. OnePlus has officially introduced the OnePlus 15R in India and select international markets, positioning it as the global counterpart to the OnePlus Ace 6T that debuted in China. While the two devices share the same DNA, OnePlus has made notable adjustments for the Indian market — most prominently a revised battery capacity and an upgraded front camera. Here is everything you need to know about the OnePlus 15R price in India, specs, and availability.
- The OnePlus 15R launches in India starting at ₹47,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant, with effective bank-offer pricing as low as ₹44,999.
- It features a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with up to 165Hz refresh rate, and a 7,400mAh battery with 80W Super Flash Charge.
- The rear camera uses a 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor with OIS, while the front gets an upgraded 32MP selfie shooter.
- Pre-orders began December 17th; sales open December 22nd on OnePlus.in, Amazon, and partner stores — with a free pair of OnePlus Nord Buds 3 for early buyers.
OnePlus 15R India Latest Specs: Display, Performance, and Battery
The OnePlus 15R sports a 6.83-inch 1.5K (2800×1272 pixels) AMOLED display with a variable refresh rate that steps through 60, 90, 120, 144, and 165Hz depending on the content. The panel supports 3840Hz PWM dimming alongside DC dimming, and is shielded by Crystal Shield glass. Three IP ratings — IP66, IP68, and IP69 — give it robust water and dust resistance, complemented by Rain Touch 2.0 for reliable touch response even in wet conditions.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 15R is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM. A dedicated Gaming Network Chip G2 and a touch chip delivering 3200Hz touch sampling round out the performance package, making this phone well-suited for demanding mobile titles. OnePlus claims native gaming support up to 165fps for games such as Call of Duty, Delta Force, and Crossfire, with 144fps support for Honor of Kings. The Glacier VC cooling system helps sustain those frame rates during extended sessions.
One key difference from the Chinese Ace 6T is the battery. The OnePlus 15R carries a 7,400mAh cell — smaller than the 8,300mAh unit in the Ace 6T — but still a very large battery by flagship-segment standards. It supports 80W Super Flash Charge, 55W PPS charging, bypass power, and reverse wired charging.
OnePlus 15R Camera, Software, and Additional Features
Photography on the OnePlus 15R is handled by a dual-camera array on the rear: a DetailMax Engine-powered 50MP Sony IMX906 primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), and an 8MP ultrawide lens. The front camera is a notable upgrade over the Ace 6T's 16MP shooter — the India model gets a 32MP selfie camera, which OnePlus highlights as a key differentiator for the global variant.
On the software side, the phone ships with Android 16-based OxygenOS 16, keeping it current with the latest Android release right out of the box. Connectivity is covered by Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and a USB Type-C port. The ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, infrared blaster, and stereo speakers complete the feature set. The device measures 8.3mm thin and weighs around 219 grams.
