OnePlus Launches the OnePlus 15R Smartphone in North America
A powerful co-defined chipset, a massive 7,400 mAh battery and a stunning display
New York, NY, December 17, 2025 – Global technology brand OnePlus today launched OnePlus 15R, its ultimate value flagship smartphone. The device, the second in the OnePlus 15 Series, is the first phone launching globally to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 mobile platform, co-defined by OnePlus, and gives users a combination of stellar performance, unbeatable battery life and fast and smooth software.
Breakneck speed, breakout battery and breakthrough cooling
OnePlus 15R's amazing performance begins with its chipset, the Qualcomm Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 mobile platform, co-defined and co-optimized over 24 months by Qualcomm and OnePlus. OnePlus 15R is the first device launching globally to feature the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 and sees 36 percent faster CPU speeds, 11 percent faster GPU speeds and 46% better AI performance than the previous generation chipset. Alongside the new chipset, OnePlus 15R also features LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 ROM for blistering fast speeds when creating, copying or moving data.
OnePlus 15R also leads the way with its battery, the largest ever shipped in a OnePlus flagship device. The 7,400 mAh battery inside OnePlus 15R, equipped with OnePlus's 55W SUPERVOOC fast charging technology, is built to run in the harshest environments on earth and keep running with at least 80 percent capacity after four years. It's also built with OnePlus’ Silicon Nanostack technology, with 15 percent silicon content inside its anode, providing excellent energy density.
A 360-degree Cryo Velocity Cooling System covers OnePlus 15R from front to back for all its cooling needs. This starts with the Cryo Velocity Screen Cooler, just under the display, which uses aerogel – the lightest solid in the world – to give OnePlus 15R's display excellent thermal protection from heat generated inside the phone.
Next comes the Cryo Velocity 3D Vapor Chamber, which is built with a proprietary design specifically created to cool high end processors, measuring 5,704mm2. This features a range of materials, including an industry-first hand-tearable steel, to dissipate huge levels of heat. Finally, OnePlus 15R's Cryo Velocity Back Cover features a layer of graphite across the lower half of the phone to give that extra bit of cooling across its chassis.
A stunning display, stellar design and super strong durability ratings
At the front of OnePlus 15R is the highest refresh rate screen ever shipped by OnePlus – a 165Hz LTPS 1.5K AMOLED display. Measuring 6.83 inches and featuring 450 pixels per inch, it can go as high as 1800 nits of brightness and as low as 1 nit with Reduce White Point activated. OnePlus 15R possesses an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for rapid unlocking. It also features a dedicated Touch Response Chip to ensure OnePlus' highest refresh rate screen is also its most sensitive, featuring an industry leading instant touch sampling rate of 3,200Hz for super smooth scrolling.
Surrounding the display is a design built to provide superior in hand comfort, whether you're holding OnePlus 15R horizontally or vertically. The design includes new rounder corners and a smooth transition to the device's mid-frame as well as a redesigned camera bump to cut down on fatigue when holding the device for an extended period.
OnePlus 15R is available in two colorways in North America. The first, Charcoal Black, creates a clean look with a warm, soft touch. The second, Mint Breeze, is a crisp green designed to mesmerize with a subtle shimmer. Both Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze colorways feature Velvet Glass technology to make sure they feel great in your hand.
Whichever colorway you choose, OnePlus 15R is covered by four separate IP ratings: IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K.
Irresistible imaging
In addition to providing powerful performance, OnePlus 15R also features strong photography capabilities. This starts with a 32-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus and a 50-megapixel main camera, the same IMX906 sensor found on OnePlus 15, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor with a 112-degree field of view.
This hardware is combined with powerful software, including the new OnePlus DetailMax Engine found in OnePlus 15, to create incredible results. All three DetailMax Engine technologies from OnePlus 15 – Ultra Clear Mode, Clear Burst and the Clear Night Engine – are also present in OnePlus 15R. OnePlus 15R can also record 4K video at up to 120 frames per second and then go on to edit the footage directly on the device, meaning that capturing glorious action videos is now easier than ever.
OxygenOS 16 with OnePlus AI and Google Gemini: Smarter Every Day, Smoother Every Way
OxygenOS 16 builds upon OnePlus' signature smart and smooth foundation by introducing intelligent AI capabilities, creating a more intuitive and efficient user experience.
The AI experience is centered around Plus Mind. By pressing the dedicated Plus Key or swiping up with three fingers, users can instantly save any on-screen content to a unified Mind Space knowledge base. In addition, Google Gemini can now connect with Mind Space to pull information and provide personalized suggestions based on what you’ve saved – all in a single prompt. For example, you can ask for help with creating travel itineraries and Gemini will connect with Mind Space to generate an itinerary that is personalized and based on the user’s own stored data. Plus, eligible OnePlus users can enjoy a three-month trial of Google AI Pro at no extra cost which includes expanded access to new and powerful features in the Gemini app like Veo 3 and Nano Banana, higher usage limits in NotebookLM, and Gemini in Gmail, Docs and more, to enhance their productivity and creativity – all in one plan from Google.
Fluidity remains at the core of the experience with Parallel Processing 2.0 ensuring system-wide smoothness during app switching, navigation, and multitasking. The interface features seamless motion animations that provide visual previews of transitions, creating a naturally responsive feel. The Dual App Control feature enables simultaneous operation of two applications on a single screen, significantly enhancing productivity.

OnePlus Launches OnePlus Pad Go 2 in North America
New Pad Go tablet series in North America delivers high quality experience, a large display, a robust productivity toolkit and a large battery in a sleek, portable design
New York, NY, December 17, 2025 – Global technology brand OnePlus today unveiled OnePlus Pad Go 2, the latest Android tablet, designed to provide everything students and young professionals need at an accessible price. This is the first OnePlus Pad Go series tablet that will be available in the United States and Canada.
Performance and power
OnePlus Pad Go 2's high quality experience starts with its 12.1 inch or 30.73 cm display that provides a seriously immersive viewing experience. Additionally, the display's 7:5 ReadFit aspect ratio and massive 88.5 percent screen-to-body ratio work together to deliver a comfortable experience whether you're viewing or writing. The display also features 284 pixels per inch, 98% DCI-P3 color coverage and 900 nits HBM brightness and supports Dolby Vision for amazing media playback.
Powering OnePlus Pad Go 2 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra octa-core chipset. Built on an advanced 4nm process, this chipset allows OnePlus Pad Go 2 to deliver the same powerful and reliably smooth performance in four years as on day one, as certified by TÜV SÜD Fluency testing. OnePlus Pad Go 2 also features a massive 10,050 mAh battery with 33W SUPERVOOC charging which allows for up to 15 hours of video, 53 hours of music or a full 60 days of standby power. The battery even supports reverse cable charging, allowing you to send power from the tablet to a phone in an emergency.
Stylus and smoothness
OnePlus Pad Go 2 is the first member of the OnePlus Pad Go series to support a stylus, called the OnePlus Pad Go 2 Stylo. Sold separately, the Stylo delivers low latency, high sensitivity and fast charging with just ten minutes of charging from zero percent battery, giving it enough power for half a day's use.
When using the Stylo in the OnePlus Notes app, you can gain access to a range of handwriting features—such as the handwriting calculator and handwriting enhancement—that enable a smarter and smoother note-taking experience. Moreover, you can simply tap OnePlus Pad Go 2's screen with the Stylo when it's switched off to instantly open the Notes app.
OnePlus Pad Go 2 also takes smoothness to another level with OxygenOS 16, the latest version of OnePlus' beloved operating system. It includes a wide range of AI tools for helping you work smart and play harder. OxygenOS 16 also gives access to Open Canvas, widely seen as one of the best ways to multitask on a tablet, allowing users to effortlessly switch between up to three windows, with two apps open and a third in a floating window.
Colorways and connectivity
OnePlus Pad Go 2 will be available in one colorway in North America – Shadow Black. Shadow Black features an ultra-smooth matte finish which gives a modern, confident aesthetic that almost creates a subtle glow.
What’s more, simply placing OnePlus Pad Go 2 near a OnePlus phone will enable the tablet to share the phone's data connection while using 30 percent less of the phone's battery than traditional hotspot sharing.
