features, price and technical sheet

OnePlus did not want to let the year end without updating its family of smartphones. The company OPPO sister just announced his new OnePlus 15Ra device that debuts the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and that sacrifices part of the camera to bet everything on two things: performance and autonomy.

And this chip is not the only thing that stands out from the set, since inside we find a battery with no more and no less than 7,400 mAh capacity, a figure that, in 8.3 millimeters, only allows us a technology like silicon-carbon. With the introductions made, let’s get to know him a little better.

OnePlus 15R technical sheet

An elegant design with lots of green

Preserving the wake of OnePlus 15the new OnePlus 15R proposes an elegant industrial design, with plain colors, aluminum and a simple rear in which the camera module stands out. The firm maintains the proposal of a very vertical module in which, on this occasion, we find two cameras: an angle and a wide angle. It was necessary to cut somewhere to keep the price low and the firm has chosen to reduce the photographic section.

As for the screen, we find a 6.83-inch LTPS AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution which reaches 165 Hz. It is one of the highest figures we have seen to date, although in gaming we can only squeeze it in certain very specific games. On paper, it doesn’t look bad, nor does the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen.

The device can be obtained in black and mint green with a more youthful aroma. When it comes to resistance, the company boasts IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K. According to OnePlus, the phone is protected not only against jets of water, but also against jets of water up to 80ºC. Needless to say, it also withstands dust and we can submerge it at 1.5 meters for half an hour.

An engine at the top of everything

OnePlus launches the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. Be careful, not to be confused with the Elite model. It is a different chip, although also high-end. This SoC reaches 3.8 GHz and incorporates a 1,225 MHz Adreno GPU. OnePlus claims to have optimized the CPU so that games run better. Basically, they have skirted the CFS that Android comes by default with OnePlus CPU Scheduler, a technology that gives games some priority.

The chip is accompanied by 12 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage, a 5,704 mm² vapor chamber and a huge battery. Silicon-carbon continues to give us good surprises and has allowed OnePlus to implement a 7,400 mAh battery in just 8.3 millimeters thick. Fast charging, for its part, has a power of 80W.

Gaming is an important aspect, so along with Android 16, the OnePlus AI suite and Google Gemini, OnePlus has introduced a chip dedicated to response time and another to WiFi. The first allows the terminal to have a 3,200 Hz touch detection, a real savagery, while the G2 chip improves WiFi connectivity even in complex conditions. All of this, of course, always on paper.

A simple camera

The OnePlus 15R assembles a versatile photographic package, although hopelessly less competent than its older brother. The reason? It does not have telephoto, but is content with an angle and wide angle in the back. On the front, for its part, we find a single 32 megapixel camera.

Regarding the main camera, we have a sensor Sony IMX906 50 megapixels with OIS and an eight megapixel wide angle. The cameras no longer arrive signed by Hasselblad, something that now reserved for OPPObut OnePlus is betting on its DetailMax Engine, an image engine that consists of three technologies: Ultra Clear Mode, Clear Burst Mode and Clear Night Engine.

In short, the firm promises detailed photos during the day, static images of moving subjects when we take burst photos, and better lighting at night. We will clear up any doubts when we have the opportunity to get our hands on it.
