This new trio isn’t just about specs—it's about OnePlus extending its ecosystem strategy, offering high-quality hardware at reasonable prices, and building the bridge between phones, tablets, and wearables for a unified user experience.
In this in-depth article, created exclusively for Technologies for Mobile, we break down everything you need to know about these three devices—from their design and features to their expected impact on the market—leading up to their official launch.
OnePlus 15R: A Value Flagship Positioned to Disrupt
Premium Build With Gaming-Friendly Design
The OnePlus 15R aims to redefine what “value flagship” means. The device comes in two standout colorways:
- Charcoal Black – a smooth, stealthy finish crafted for gamers
- Mint Breeze – a refreshing, lighter green designed to stand out without being aggressive
This dual-tone approach has become a signature of OnePlus releases—balancing performance aesthetics with elegance.
A New 45-Degree Camera Deco: A Design Statement
The 15R brings a unique design twist with its camera module:
- Camera deco placed exactly at a 45-degree angle from the top-left corner
- A flat metal frame, giving the device a firm, modern look
- Uniform bezels and a dust-resistant coating
Such precision-focused design language hints that OnePlus is paying serious attention to ergonomics and visual identity.
Extreme Durability: IP66 + IP68 + IP69 + IP69K Ratings
The device breaks records by offering four major protection ratings:
- IP66 – complete protection against dust
- IP68 – submersion protection
- IP69 and IP69K – high-pressure, high-temperature water jet resistance
- This is very rare—even many premium flagships don’t include IP69K.
OnePlus is clearly aiming the 15R at users who want a phone that survives extreme usage—gamers, creators, outdoor users, and those who simply want longevity.
Performance Expectations
Although specifications will be revealed on December 17, the brand’s positioning already hints at:
- Flagship-level chipset (likely Snapdragon 8-series or Dimensity 9000-series)
- High-refresh AMOLED display
- Optimized cooling system
- Long battery life with fast charging
- AI-enhanced camera processing
The OnePlus “R series” has always delivered strong price-to-performance value, and the 15R seems ready to surpass all previous generations.

- Stress tracking
- Oxygen level measurement
