OnePlus 15R and OnePlus Pad Go 2 Launching in India on 17 December

OnePlus has confirmed a packed launch event for 17 December, and the spotlight is firmly on the OnePlus 15R and OnePlus Pad Go 2. The brand will introduce both devices in India with fresh colours, OxygenOS 16 support, and a focus on practical upgrades. Moreover, the OnePlus 15R is expected to start around ₹45,000, making it a likely contender in the upper mid-range segment.

OnePlus 15R Gets New Colours and Heavy-Duty Protection

The OnePlus 15R will launch in Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze, giving users a classic and fresh colour choice. The company has also confirmed IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings. Therefore, the phone should handle dust, water, and even hot or cold water jets for 30 minutes. This places the 15R in the tough-device zone.

Expected Specs Hint at a Flagship-Killer Strategy

Leaks indicate that OnePlus may tweak the Indian version of the 15R. Reports suggest a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip instead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite used in the Chinese OnePlus Ace 6. The camera department may also see changes, with a dual 50MP setup expected on the rear.

The rest of the hardware may follow the Ace 6 blueprint. Users can expect a 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, a 7,800mAh battery, and 120W fast charging. These specs could attract gamers, content lovers, and power users.

OnePlus Pad Go 2 Comes with 5G and New Stylo Support

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 will launch in Shadow Black and Lavender Drift. The tablet will also include 5G support, making it suitable for users who need high-speed connectivity outdoors.

OnePlus has teased a new Pad Go 2 Stylo for tasks like note-taking and sketching. The company is positioning the tablet as a tool for students and working professionals. The teaser also confirms a single rear camera, keeping the design clean and simple.

Pricing Expectations as OnePlus Pushes Upmarket

With OnePlus increasing prices this year, the OnePlus 15R may follow the trend. The previous model, the OnePlus 13R, started at ₹42,999. Therefore, an expected launch price of ₹45,000 feels likely. The Pad Go 2 is expected to sit in the budget-to-mid tablet range.

As the launch date approaches, OnePlus is clearly building momentum with confirmed details and subtle hints. The December 17 event will reveal whether the company can push the “flagship killer” tag further in 2025.
