OnePlus has now officially launched its latest flagship, the OnePlus 15, in India and several global markets. However, the company also slipped in a major hint for users waiting on the OnePlus 15R. During the OnePlus 15 India launch event, the brand teased the arrival of the OnePlus 15R.
This marks a change in the company’s usual strategy. Usually, both the OnePlus number series and R series models were introduced together across global and Indian markets. However, OnePlus has opted to release only the OnePlus 15 first this year.
