Summary

  • OnePlus has quietly launched a new OnePlus 15R configuration in India, pairing 16GB of RAM with 512GB of storage as the lineup’s third option.
  • INR 61,999 buys the new model on Amazon India and OnePlus’s local site, above the earlier 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB versions but still below the flagship OnePlus 15.
  • The upgrade targets buyers who want more headroom for demanding tasks such as on-device AI while keeping the 15R’s value-focused positioning, larger battery and fast charging appeal.
  • India is the only confirmed market so far, and the move may help OnePlus plug a gap after the OnePlus 15’s local price rose by INR 8,000 since launch.
