The next big performance-focused smartphone from OnePlus is almost here. The OnePlus Ace 6, which will debut in China on October 27, is set to arrive globally — and in India — as the OnePlus 15R. Designed as an “ultra performance” flagship, this device aims to redefine speed, endurance, and display quality with its 165Hz flat AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and massive 7,800mAh battery. Here’s a detailed look at what we can expect.

OnePlus 15R (Ace 6) Launch Details

The OnePlus Ace 6 will launch in China on October 27 at 7 PM CST (4:30 PM IST), alongside the company’s premium flagship, the OnePlus 15. The launch event will be streamed live on Weibo, offering fans an early look at OnePlus’s next-generation performance phone.

The global version — OnePlus 15R — is expected to debut shortly after the Chinese launch, likely in early November 2025. The device is anticipated to reach India within weeks, strengthening OnePlus’s foothold in the upper mid-range flagship segment.

Expected Price and Sale Availability

While official pricing is still under wraps, the OnePlus Ace 6 is expected to follow its predecessor’s pricing trend. The OnePlus Ace 5 launched at CNY 2,299 (around ₹26,000) for the 12GB + 256GB model in China, while the global OnePlus 13R version debuted in India at ₹42,999.

Hence, the OnePlus 15R could be priced around ₹44,000–₹46,000 in India for the base configuration.

In China, pre-reservations are already live on Oppo e-Shop, JD Mall, and OnePlus’s official online stores. Customers can pre-book the phone for just CNY 1 (approx. ₹12) and receive exclusive launch benefits worth CNY 3,255 (about ₹40,000). The handset is expected to go on sale shortly after its October 27 unveiling.

Design and Build

The OnePlus 15R (Ace 6) showcases a refreshed design with a metal frame and a new camera deco resembling the OnePlus 15 series. The phone will be available in Black, Flash White, and Quicksilver color options.

Teasers also confirm an “ACE” branding vertically imprinted on the rear panel, giving it a distinctive identity.

The device features three small openings on the top frame — likely for microphones and an IR blaster — enhancing its utility. Furthermore, the OnePlus 15R comes with IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, ensuring strong protection against dust and water. The device weighs 213g, indicating a solid yet ergonomic build.

Display and Visual Experience

The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to feature a flat 1.5K AMOLED display sourced from BOE Display, known for its brightness and color accuracy.

It will support a 165Hz adaptive refresh rate with multiple levels (60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, and 165Hz), ensuring ultra-smooth visuals for gaming and multimedia.

The screen also includes eye-protection features and an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for enhanced security and comfort during extended use.

Performance and Software

Powering the OnePlus 15R will be Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same 3nm processor that drives the flagship OnePlus 15. Paired with an Adreno 840 GPU, this setup promises exceptional gaming performance, faster AI processing, and superior thermal efficiency.

Benchmark results suggest impressive numbers — 3,050 points (single-core) and 9,440 points (multi-core) — demonstrating top-tier performance.

The device is expected to pack up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, delivering smooth multitasking and blazing-fast data transfers.

On the software front, the phone will run Android 16-based ColorOS 16 in China, while the Indian version is likely to feature OxygenOS 16, maintaining a cleaner interface and better global optimization.

Battery and Charging

The OnePlus 15R will ship with a massive 7,800mAh battery, making it the largest battery ever in a OnePlus phone. This significant capacity is expected to offer well over a full day of heavy use, appealing to gamers and power users alike.

Charging won’t be a concern either — the device supports 120W wired fast charging, capable of delivering a full charge in under 25 minutes. However, unlike the OnePlus 15, the 15R is not expected to feature wireless charging.

Camera System

While OnePlus has not officially detailed the camera specifications yet, leaks and teasers indicate that the OnePlus 15R will adopt a triple rear camera setup inspired by the OnePlus 15 series.

Expect a high-resolution primary sensor with OIS, accompanied by ultra-wide and telephoto/periscope lenses to deliver versatile photography options. OnePlus is likely to emphasize enhanced low-light imaging and improved color calibration powered by AI.

Flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset (3nm)

165Hz Flat AMOLED Display (1.5K Resolution)

Up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM + 1TB Storage

7,800mAh Battery with 120W Fast Charging

Conclusion

The OnePlus 15R (or OnePlus Ace 6) is shaping up to be one of the most performance-driven smartphones of 2025. With its Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 165Hz AMOLED display, and massive 7,800mAh battery, it aims to deliver flagship-grade performance at a competitive price point.

For Indian consumers, the OnePlus 15R could be an ideal choice for those seeking speed, durability, and immersive visuals — without stretching into the ultra-premium segment.

As we approach its official launch, expectations are high that the OnePlus 15R will set new standards in power efficiency, display fluidity, and user experience, continuing OnePlus’s legacy of “Never Settle.”
