Quick Summary
The OnePlus 15R, revealed as the first Android phone to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip (i.e. not the Elite), now has a full specification and release date.
The 'R' variant of OnePlus's 2025 flagship is available for pre-order right now, with a 15 January 2026 on-sale date, honouring the lower price proposition – as expected – and confirming a huge battery capacity (at 7,400mAh).
I wrote about the OnePlus 15R at the end of last month, citing it as a "world-first for Android phones" – for the simple fact that it's the first to feature Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
