Soon after cofirming the OnePlus 15R launch date in India, the Chinese smartphone maker has now announced the processor for the device. OnePlus says that the 15R will be the first phone in India to be powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.
The company says that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will provide a 36% increase in CPU performance and 11% increase in GPU performance and 46% improved AI performance over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 on the 13R.
What's new with OnePlus 15R?
OnePlus 15R has already been confirmed to come in Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze colourways. The company has also promised to bring the phone IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K water and dust resistance ratings same as the OnePlus 15. This means that the phone should be able to handle being submerged in water along with cold/hot water jets in any direction for 30 minutes.
What to expect from OnePlus 15R?
Earlier reports have suggested that the OnePlus 15R could be a rebranded version OnePlus Ace 6 that launched in China a few weeks back. However, OnePlus could make a few changes with the Indian variant of the phone compared to the Chinese unit.
For instance, the company has now already confirmed that the 15R is not getting the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip like the Ace 6. Notably, over the years, OnePlus has built a tradition of using last year's flagship chip with its R series device but that is not going to be the case this year.
We can't comment yet on the performance of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 before getting our hands on a powered by that SoC but if history is anything to go by, the chipset could offer slightly lower performance to the 8 Elite. It could also be a part of many of the upcoming mid-range gaming phones in 2026.
As for optics, the OnePlus 15R could come with a 50MP primary camera and an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens. There could be a 16 MP shooter on the front.
The phone could come with a 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate.There could be a 7,800mAh battery running the show on 15R along with support for 120W wired fast charging.
