After multiple teasers and updates, OnePlus has finally made the OnePlus 15R official in India. It is the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phone in the country and focuses heavily on performance, battery and cameras. Here is a complete specification, pricing and availability details rundown of the latest OnePlus smartphone.

OnePlus 15R Specifications and Features

Right off the bat, the OnePlus 15R looks nothing like the OnePlus 13R and features a completely redesigned chassis. In fact, the new design is reminiscent of the OnePlus 13s, in an inflated way and without the third back camera. It features a new square camera deco with more rounded edges and a flat side.

It looks very close to the flagship OnePlus 15 and brings uniformity in design across the board. Although the OnePlus 15R is supposed to be a toned-down variant of the OnePlus 15, it is in no way lacking in firepower. For instance, the 15R uses the same DetailMax camera engine as its bigger brother.

Moreover, this is the only phone in India currently which has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset on offer. It also packs the biggest battery on any OnePlus phone in India till date.
