OnePlus 15R launches with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a 7,400mAh battery

The phone offers a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 7400mAh battery, and upgraded cameras.

OnePlus has officially unveiled the OnePlus 15R, confirming the full set of specs and pricing. The phone shares most of its hardware with the China‑only OnePlus Ace 6T, but it comes with a few changes for global markets.

The 15R carries a 7,400mAh silicon-carbon battery. It supports 80W wired charging, which is slower than the Ace 6T’s 100W system but still fast enough for daily use.

OnePlus also upgraded the front camera to a 32MP shooter. The rear cameras stay the same, with a 50MP main camera with OIS and an 8MP ultra-wide camera.

The phone runs OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. It includes the full OnePlus AI suite. The display is a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 165Hz variable refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 7i protection.

Inside, it uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.

The OnePlus 15R also comes with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance, including protection against high-pressure water jets.

The phone will be available in Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze. Pricing starts at USD 699 (around PHP 40,920) for the 12GB+256GB model. Open sales begin on January 15, with early buyers getting select freebies depending on the market.

There is a chance we’ll see the OnePlus 15R reach the Philippines. The OnePlus 13R launched locally, so the brand could follow the same pattern. If it does arrive, expect it to land in Digital Walker and open_source stores.
