Performance 

Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 platform is at the core of the new OnePlus 15R and will be the fastest chipset inside a smartphone this year. OnePlus has said to work with Qualcomm on the new chipset for efficiency and performance improvements in gaming, multitasking, and heavy productivity workloads.

Big Battery, Smooth Display

The upcoming OnePlus 15R has been confirmed to have a 7,400 mAh battery. This is one of the biggest capacities in any OnePlus smartphone and even a bigger one than the OnePlus 15 launched recently. The expected battery capacity will provide great endurance to the OnePlus 15R, and reports also say that the handset will have 80 W fast charging support. So the increased battery capacity will not be a major problem.

On the display front, the OnePlus 15R is expected to have a 165 Hz 1.5K AMOLED panel. It will be the smoothest and the most vibrant display among smartphones and a big reason to play games and consume media on it.
