OnePlus 15R India Launch Today: Expected Price, Key Specs, Live Stream Details and What to Expect

OnePlus prepares to unveil the latest and the most awaited smartphone in India today, the OnePlus 15R. This event will be in Bengaluru at the “Rise as One” launch event with accompanying side-by-side launches for the OnePlus Pad Go 2. Priced under ₹50,000, this smartphone claims to match flagship performance while taking on the contenders like Oppo Reno 14 Pro and Vivo X200 FE.

As the successor of the much-loved OnePlus 13R, this new phone is updated in every module: CPU, GPU, RAM, display quality, battery life, camera features, and toughness. So there are some good chances that the OnePlus 15R will end up as the most balanced premium phone in the year 2025.

When and Where to Watch the OnePlus 15R Launch Live

OnePlus has confirmed several primary specifications, thus providing a good idea about what the phone consists of.

OnePlus 15R sports a 1.5K AMOLED display and typically boasts of a 165Hz refresh rate, which delivers smooth scrolling, gaming responses, and movie-watching experiences. The screen can reach 1,800 nits of brightness, meaning, you can make very readable calls on this one under sunlight during the rushing or busy hours. On the other hand, the display suggests more than enough perks to outlast competitors! A minimum brightness (2-nit) helps one comfortably look at the display in the dark.

Fueling the racehorse is Snapdragon 8 Gen chipset and new G2 Wi-Fi chips coupled with a standalone touch response chip. This strategic trio assures truly quick processing capabilities, improved connectivity, and a precise touch-like experience, while the camera mechanism, DetailMax lens, has displaced the Hasselblad Photographs in the photo space.

Another hovering factor related to power is the OnePlus 15T's specially-graded 7,400mAh battery, which is intended to remain unbeatable even for multiday use. The 80W wired fast-charging option for the user will complete a convenient full charge in a shorter time, so the user can get back to their device a lot sooner.

Designed to Last: Strong focus on Durability

Durability is a school of thought, and OnePlus has taken it with the 15R into careful consideration. With IP ratings available on the 15R, including water and dust protection up to IP66, IP68, and even IP6K9K, the phone seems to be dust and spray-resistant with a strong level of positivity. This matches the R-series to the modern durability and ruggedness rating built on the flagship line-up.

Nice Camera-Based Upgrades for Topping Selfies and Video Chats

A substantial leap in the world of imaging is provided by the camera modus operandi of the OnePlus 15R, primarily designed toward the selfie crowd. A 32MP selfie shooter with autofocus comes into being on the new machine, being a radical improvement as compared to the 16MP sensor on the last-gen device. This directly implies better selfies, clearer video calls, and more grains for the content creators.

The New Plus Button Replaces the Iconic Alert Slider

Very recently, OnePlus had made the big decision to ditch its iconic alert slider and include its new Plus Key, organized like a button. By doing so, users are gifted with an extraordinary possibility: assigning tons of functions, including switching between sound mode, getting into the camera as soon as it is summoned, engaging the flashlight, searching bits of translation, or grabbing scripts fast enough to note them down in a memo. Having an extra latch certainly means action packed while enhancing everyday ease.

OnePlus 15R Price in India

OnePlus 15R is expected to start at about ₹45,000 due to significant hardware advancements and rising component costs. Exact pricing is expected to be made official during the launch event later today.

Should You Be Excited About This?

With the powerful processor, high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, beefy battery, better cameras, and most durable build yet, OnePlus 15R is already close to checking all the right boxes for a good high-segment mid-range phone. A well-calculated price would make this everyone's go-to if it were priced fittingly and competitively, but within ₹50,000 in India.

So, waiting to see them all at the launch event? What is OnePlus going to say about this smartphone and whether it will validate the hype?
