OnePlus 15R Global Launch Expected Soon

Pricing is expected to remain competitive, potentially positioned below the Ace 6’s launch price due to strong market competition. The OnePlus 13R launched at ₹42,999 in India, suggesting the 15R could fall within the ₹40,000-₹45,000 bracket.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 represents a significant leap forward, utilizing Qualcomm’s Oryon CPU architecture. This positions the Ace 6T as a performance-focused device delivering flagship-level power without premium pricing, perfectly aligning with OnePlus’ brand philosophy.
For Indian consumers eager for the next performance flagship, the official Ace 6T announcement should clarify whether it or the Ace 6 becomes the OnePlus 15R—a decision that will significantly impact specifications and pricing for the global variant.
