- OnePlus has revealed several specifications of the OnePlus 15R
- These include a 165Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, and some camera details.
- We also learned about the screen of the OnePlus Pad Go 2
OnePlus won’t fully unveil the OnePlus 15R until December 17, but ahead of that launch, the company has revealed many of the phone’s most important specs, including its chipset, display, and camera engine.
First of all, we now know that the OnePlus 15R has a 165Hz display; That’s in line with the OnePlus 15, but it’s a higher refresh rate than the 120Hz you’ll get on most high-end phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max. That being said, this difference will only come into play during certain matches.
We now also know that the OnePlus 15R has a 1.5K AMOLED display with 450 pixels per inch and a maximum brightness of 1,800 nits. That’s the same pixel density and brightness you’ll find on the OnePlus 15, so while the screen size hasn’t been confirmed, it’s possible it will match the OnePlus 15 at 6.78 inches.
Powerful, but no match for the OnePlus 15
Other newly announced details include the OnePlus 15R’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which is slightly inferior to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 used by the OnePlus 15, but should still offer plenty of power.
This is combined with a G2 Wi-Fi chip, which OnePlus says will enable strong Wi-Fi connectivity wherever you are, and a touch response chip, which helps the OnePlus 15R detect touch inputs faster than rival devices.
Finally, there are the cameras, and not much has been revealed about them, but OnePlus has said that the OnePlus 15R uses Detailmax Engine to offer the same advanced computational photography and algorithms that you’ll get with the OnePlus 15. Like that phone, the OnePlus 15R also has Ultra Clear Mode, Clear Burst, and Clear Night Engine.
So it looks like on the software front, their cameras may be similar, but it remains to be seen how the camera hardware will compare.
We’ll find out on December 17, when the OnePlus 15R will be unveiled alongside the OnePlus Watch Lite and OnePlus Pad Go 2, the latter of which we now also know has a 12.1-inch 8K display with 284 pixels per inch and a maximum brightness of 900 nits.
