OnePlus is ending the year with a pretty packed December, and the headline act is the OnePlus 15R, a value-focused flagship that’s landing just in time for the holidays.
Announced alongside the new Pad Go 2 tablet and the Watch Lite, the 15R arrives on 17 December across Europe, India and North America.
While the full spec sheet is coming closer to launch, OnePlus is already positioning the 15R as the “ultimate value high-quality flagship” in its lineup. And it’s getting a proper design refresh to match that claim.
The phone comes in two colourways: Charcoal Black, a stealthier option aimed at gamers, and Mint Breeze, a softer green that leans fresher than flashy. The new camera housing sits at a 45-degree angle from the top-left corner, a small design flourish, but one that helps distinguish it from the main OnePlus 15.
OnePlus is also talking up durability in a big way. The 15R carries IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings, which essentially means it’s built to handle dust, high-pressure water jets, submersion, and just about anything else short of a sandstorm and a power washer at the same time. It’s one of the highest-rated phones on the market for environmental resistance.
And because OnePlus loves a launch deal, pre-orders come with a genuinely solid bundle: £100 off, plus a free 120W adapter kit and a sandstone magnetic case, with extra savings for trade-ins, students and corporate users.
Alongside the phone, OnePlus also teased two ecosystem additions. The OnePlus Pad Go 2 arrives as a mid-range 5G tablet with an anti-glare finish, available in Shadow Black and Lavender Drift, and marks the debut of the new Pad Go 2 Stylo for note-takers and creatives.
Meanwhile, the OnePlus Watch Lite brings flagship-grade health tracking to a more affordable price point, wrapped in a sleek Silver Steel design.
All three devices will be fully detailed on 17 December, but the 15R already looks like a strong year-ender, especially for buyers wanting something that feels premium without the flagship price tag.
