A Rebranded OnePlus Ace 6?

Most leaks point in one direction – the OnePlus 15R will probably be a global version of the OnePlus Ace 6, which launched recently in China. If that’s true, the 15R could offer the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and may get up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage. It may feature a 6.83-inch flat AMOLED display (1.5K resolution, up to 165Hz refresh rate) with up to 5,000 nits peak brightness.

The OnePlus 15R is likely to carry a 50MP main camera with OIS, paired with an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. On the front, a 16MP selfie camera may handle video calls and selfies. Based on the leaks, the Ace 6 packs a 7,800mAh battery with 120W fast charging, and the same setup is expected on the 15R. Wireless charging, however, will likely remain absent. The phone is also expected to ship with OxygenOS 16 (based on Android 16) for global markets.
