OnePlus 15R – Key Features
OnePlus 15R features a large 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and runs on OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16.
In terms of optics, the smartphone includes a 50-megapixel primary rear camera paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, while the front houses a 32-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. The device is backed by a massive 7,400mAh battery that supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging.
The OnePlus 15R also offers strong durability credentials with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings for dust and water resistance. Its hardware is clearly tuned for performance and endurance with the 165Hz flat display enabling up to 165FPS in select games. While the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset sits just below the flagship 8 Elite Gen 5 and it still delivers top-tier performance.

Even with the revised pricing, the OnePlus 15R remains a compelling option in its segment especially for users prioritising gaming performance and battery life.
