OnePlus 15R Confirmed Specs Leak: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 7400mAh Battery, and 165Hz Display – Launching December 17!

OnePlus is cranking up the hype machine for 2025's value flagship!

The OnePlus 15R (model CPH2767) is now locked in for a global and India launch on December 17, 2025, at the "Rise as One" event in Bengaluru – and the confirmed specs are straight fire. OnePlus has dropped official teases, while Geekbench runs and retailer filings fill in the blanks. This is basically the rebranded OnePlus Ace 6T for global markets, packing a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 debut, a massive battery, and IP69 toughness – all at a rumored $599/₹45,000 starting price.

Forget mid-range compromises; the 15R is gunning for "affordable killer" status against the Galaxy S26 FE or Pixel 10a. Here's everything confirmed so far (as of December 6, 2025).

Confirmed Specs: The Highlights

OnePlus has officially verified the chipset, display, battery, and more via press notes and leaks. Geekbench confirms the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5's punch with scores of ~2,784 single-core and ~9,329 multi-core – just shy of the OnePlus 15's Elite variant, but plenty for daily beasts.

Power Under the Hood

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 makes its global debut here – not the pricier Elite version in the OnePlus 15, but still a 3nm monster for AI tasks, 120fps gaming, and buttery multitasking. Paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, expect zero lag in apps or 4K edits. The side-mounted Plus Key is a customizable gem – launch AI (like Plus Mind for reminders) or your fave app with one press.

Display & Design: Smooth and Tough

That 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED at 165Hz is a smoothness king – HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 1800 nits for glare-free scrolls in Indian summers. Flat screen means no accidental touches, and the metal frame + IP69K rating (survives 1.5m underwater for 30 mins + high-pressure jets) makes it adventure-ready – rarer than on most ₹50k phones. Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos round out the premium feel.

Cameras: Solid Shooter Setup

Confirmed 50MP IMX906 main (1/1.56" sensor, OIS) for sharp low-light and 4K@120fps video – a step up from the 13R's kit. Leaks lock in a 50MP ultrawide (112° FOV) for landscapes, with a 16MP selfie punch-hole. Hasselblad tuning expected for natural colors and pro modes.

Battery: The Endurance Champ

7400mAh is OnePlus's biggest ever – up to 2 days of heavy use, or 20+ hours of video. 80W charging juices it to 100% in ~30 mins (charger included), though no wireless here – keeping costs down.

Expected Pricing & Availability

Rumored at $599 (₹45,000–₹50,000 in India) for the 12/256GB base – a steal for these specs. Launch on December 17 via OnePlus.com, Amazon/Flipkart (India), with early bird deals like free cases or bank discounts. Global rollout follows in Europe and North America.

Why the OnePlus 15R Could Steal the Show

This isn't just a "budget flagship" – it's a spec bomb with real-world perks like IP69K toughness and that Plus Key AI magic. Against the Moto Edge 70 or Nothing Phone (3), the 15R's battery + chipset combo wins hands-down. Minor nit: No telephoto cam, but for ₹50k? Who cares.

December 17 can't come soon enough – who's pre-ordering the Mint Breeze Green? Or holding for the OnePlus 15? Spill below!
