OnePlus 15R teased to launch soon in India: Here’s what’s coming next month
OnePlus is gearing up for another major addition to its smartphone lineup as the OnePlus 15R has been quietly teased for an upcoming launch in India. While the brand recently unveiled its flagship OnePlus 15, it remained silent about the 15R during the event. However, a short hint from a company spokesperson confirmed that the next R-series smartphone is indeed on the way.
Although the company has yet to officially announce details such as the launch date, price, or complete specifications, early reports and leaks have already painted a promising picture. Here’s everything you need to know about the much-awaited OnePlus 15R.
Launch Timeline and Expected Pricing
OnePlus has not revealed its official launch plans for the 15R, but multiple reports suggest a global rollout as early as next month, including the Indian market. Reliable tipster Yogesh Brar recently claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the India launch may take place by mid-December, making the upcoming release highly anticipated.
Pricing details also remain under wraps, but the OnePlus 15R is expected to fall in the same segment as the OnePlus 13R, which launched earlier this year at ₹42,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant.
Since the 15R is rumored to be a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 6, its pricing may follow the structure seen in China. The Ace 6 starts at:
CNY 2,599 (approx. ₹32,300) – 12GB + 256GB
CNY 2,899 (approx. ₹36,000) – 16GB + 256GB
CNY 3,099 (approx. ₹38,800) – 12GB + 512GB
CNY 3,399 (approx. ₹42,200) – 16GB + 512GB
If OnePlus sticks to this strategy, India may see competitive pricing, especially in the mid-premium segment.
