- The OnePlus 15R will have a huge 8,300 mAh battery
- Expect a slimmed-down, cheaper version of the OnePlus 15
- The phone will be launched on December 17.
You can see from our OnePlus 15 review that we were very impressed with the latest OnePlus phone, giving it a rare five out of five stars rating, and now there’s a rumor that the brand’s next phone will raise the bar for battery capacity.
According to OnePlus executive Li Jie Louis on Weibo (via Android Authority), the OnePlus 15R (known as OnePlus Ace 6T in China) will come with a massive 8,300 mAh capacity battery, which should ensure plenty of time between charges.
That’s even more than the OnePlus 15’s 7,300 mAh battery capacity, and it also beats most other smartphones on the market. The phones that reach higher tend to be ultra-thick, rugged devices designed for remote and outdoor use.
Not only that, but the OnePlus 15R will come with 100W charging, according to OnePlus. That’s not as high as the 120W you get with the OnePlus 15, but it should still mean the phone can charge very quickly.
Previous OnePlus variants
OnePlus hasn’t always been consistent in its phone variants, but last time we had both the OnePlus 13R and OnePlus 13T as more affordable companions to the OnePlus 13 for those who wanted to spend a little less.
Both the R and T options tend to reduce some features to achieve that cheaper price, while the T version also tends to be smaller. Historically, international availability of these phones has been limited, although the OnePlus 13R has launched globally.
It looks like the OnePlus 15R will also be sold outside of China, although we’re still waiting for details. We know that it will be launched on Wednesday, December 17 with a high level of waterproofing and dust protection.
OnePlus started showing off the phone earlier this month and it should be around the same price as the OnePlus 13R: $599 / £679 (you can’t get these phones in Australia). Of course, we will let you know as soon as we have all the details.
