OnePlus 15R will be launching in India during the ‘Rise as One’ event in Bengaluru today. The new phone and tablet will be unveiled during the event which begins at 7:30PM IST.

OnePlus 15R: Everything confirmed so far?

OnePlus 15R has been confirmed to come with a 1.5K AMOLED panel with 165Hz refresh rate, bringing it on par with the OnePLus 15. However, unlike the OnePlus 15, the 15R could feature an LTPS panel.

The company says that OnePlus 15R will come with a 1,800 nits peak brightness (HBM) and will come with support for reducing the brithtness to 2 nits, meaning it should be easier to read on the phone in low light.

The 15R will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor along with a new G2 Wi-Fi chip and a touch response chip. The phone will also receive the same DetailMax engine, the camera alogithm that the company brought with OnePlus 15 replacing the Hassleblad partnership.

It will come with a 7,400mAh battery with support for 80W of wired fast charging. The upcoming device has also received IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K ratings for water and dust resistance, making it the first time that the flagship lineup and R series are coming with the same water resistance ratings.

OnePlus has also confirmed a big camera upgrade for the OnePlus 15R which will come with a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus support, up from the 16MP shooter seen on its predecessor.

The new device also ditches the alert slider in favour of the Plus Key, the customizable button which can be used for changing ring profiles, taking pictures, turn on flashlight, start translation or capture a memory for Plus Mind.

OnePlus 15R expected price:

OnePlus 13R began in India with a price of ₹42,999 and went up to ₹49,999 for the top end variant. With memory chip shortage causing a price hike for several devices, it is likely that the 15R could begin at around the ₹45,000 mark. However, we will have to wait for OnePlus to make the final price reveal at the launch event today.
