OnePlus 15R Confirmed for Global Release, Expected to Be a Rebranded Ace Phone
Following the Chinese launch of OnePlus 15 and Ace 6, the OnePlus 15R is officially teased for the international market. The coming gadget is positioned as a sub-flagship smartphone and, as per expectations of the industry's established release pattern, is likely to come as a rebranded version of some other phone from the Ace 6 series.
Rebranding Precedent and Its Possible Candidates
OnePlus has a history of rebranding Ace series phones from China on occasions for the international market. For instance, the previous generation OnePlus 13R was a rebranded OnePlus Ace 5. This precedent comes to suggest that the OnePlus 15R is going to take one of two candidates.
The Two Ace Candidates
Two Ace 6 series models stand foremost as candidates for the eventual OnePlus 15R:
- OnePlus Ace 6-Already in the market in China with Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 165Hz display, and a 7,800mAh battery.
- OnePlus Ace 6T-This phone is expected to be launched in China around December. Leaks indicate it will carry the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and an 8,000mAh battery.
Pricing and Official Information
So far, OnePlus has not provided any official specifications or release dates for the OnePlus 15R, just proclaiming, "More information is coming soon."
