- The OnePlus 15R gets a huge 8,300 mAh battery
- Expect a cheaper, cut-down version of the OnePlus 15
- The phone will be launched on December 17
You can tell from our OnePlus 15 review that we were very impressed with the latest OnePlus handset, awarding it a rare five-out-of-five stars, and now there’s a rumor that the next phone from the brand will raise the bar on battery capacity.
According to OnePlus boss Li Jie Louis on Weibo (via Android Authority ), the OnePlus 15R (known as the OnePlus Ace 6T in China) will come with a massive 8,300mAh capacity battery – which should ensure plenty of time between charges.
That’s even more than the 7,300 mAh battery capacity of the OnePlus 15, and it also beats most other smartphones on the market. The handsets that go higher tend to be ultra-chunky, rugged devices intended for outdoor and remote use.
Not only that, but the OnePlus 15R comes with 100W charging, according to OnePlus. It’s not quite as high as the 120W you get with the OnePlus 15, but it should still mean that the phone can actually 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 typically cut back on a few features to hit the cheaper price, while the T version also tends to be smaller. International availability for these phones has historically been limited, although the OnePlus 13R launched globally.
It looks like the OnePlus 15R will also be sold outside of China, though we’re still waiting on the details. We know it will be launched on Wednesday 17th December with a high level of waterproofing and dustproofing.
OnePlus started teasing the phone earlier this month and should be around the same price as the OnePlus 13R: $599 / £679 (you can’t get these phones in Australia). We will of course let you know as soon as we have all the details.
