- OnePlus has revealed more OnePlus 15R specifications
- These include a 165Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and some camera details
- We’ve also learned about the OnePlus Pad Go 2’s display
OnePlus won’t fully reveal the OnePlus 15R until December 17, but ahead of that launch, the company has revealed many of the phone’s most significant specs – including its chipset, screen and camera engine.
First, we now know that the OnePlus 15R has a 165Hz screen – that’s in line with the OnePlus 15, but it’s a higher refresh rate than the 120Hz you get on most high-end phones, including the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max. That said, this difference will only come into play during certain games.
We also now know that the OnePlus 15R has a 1.5K AMOLED display with 450 pixels per pixel. inch and a maximum brightness of 1,800 nits. It’s the same pixel density and brightness you’ll find on the OnePlus 15, so while the size of the screen hasn’t been confirmed, it could well match the OnePlus 15 at 6.78 inches.
Powerful, but not quite a match for the OnePlus 15
Other newly announced details include the OnePlus 15R’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, which is slightly lower than the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 used by the OnePlus 15, but should still deliver plenty of power.
It’s paired with a G2 Wi-Fi chip, which OnePlus claims will allow for strong Wi-Fi connectivity wherever you are, and a Touch Response chip, which helps the OnePlus 15R sense touch input faster than rival devices.
Finally, there are the cameras, and not much has been revealed about these, but OnePlus has said that the OnePlus 15R uses the Detailmax Engine to deliver the same advanced computer photography and algorithms that you get with the OnePlus 15. Like that phone, the OnePlus 15R also features Ultra Clear Mode, Clear Night Burst, Clear Night Engine.
So it sounds like, on the software front, its 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 is 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 pixel. inch and a maximum brightness of 900 nits.
