OnePlus is set to mark its 12th anniversary in India with the launch of the performance-focused OnePlus 15R and the upgraded Pad Go 2, bringing faster hardware, bigger batteries and new AI features.

OnePlus is gearing up for a packed launch night in India as it prepares to unveil the OnePlus 15R and the new OnePlus Pad Go 2 later today. The event is being positioned as a major milestone for the brand, coinciding with OnePlus' 12th anniversary celebrations in India. The company will host its keynote in Bengaluru, where community members have also been invited to take part in the celebrations, suggesting how important this launch is for OnePlus’ India strategy. The launch event will kick off at 6:55pm IST and will be live-streamed on the OnePlus India YouTube channel. Those not watching the stream can also stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the updates as the company officially reveals pricing, availability and final specifications for both devices.

The spotlight of the evening will firmly be on the OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus 15R Ace Edition. While OnePlus has stayed tight-lipped on official pricing so far, leaks over the past few days have painted a fairly clear picture of what buyers can expect. The OnePlus 15R is tipped to arrive in at least two configurations, including 12GB RAM with 256GB storage and a higher 12GB RAM with 512GB storage variant. The phone is confirmed to launch in Charcoal Black, Mint Green and Electric Violet colour options and will be sold through Amazon and the OnePlus India online store.
 

OnePlus 15R specs

At its core, the OnePlus 15R is expected to be a performance-focused phone, staying true to the R-series identity. The device is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, making it one of the first smartphones globally to run this non-Elite version of Qualcomm’s latest silicon. OnePlus China president Li Jie has already stated that the Ace 6T, which serves as the base for the Indian 15R, is the first phone to use this chip. OnePlus is putting a lot of emphasis on gaming, with claims of smoother gameplay at high refresh rates and a custom gaming kernel capable of sustaining up to 165Hz in supported titles.
