Amid the ongoing price hike in the smartphone industry, OnePlus has quietly launched a new RAM variant for the 15R. OnePlus 15R is now available in three variants, including a new 16GB + 512GB configuration. This comes shortly after the OnePlus 15R received a price hike, making it costlier by Rs 7,000, which is actually the second time since its launch in India.
OnePlus 15R 16GB RAM variant
OnePlus 15R has been launched with 16GB RAM and 512GB onboard storage. This variant of the 15R costs Rs 61,999. The smartphone is available in two more variants: 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB, priced at Rs 54,999 and Rs 59,999, respectively. The new variant of the 15R is available to purchase through the OnePlus India online store and Amazon India as well. It should be sold through offline stores too.
| Variant | Price |
| 12GGB + 256GB | Rs 54,999 |
| 12GB + 512GB | Rs 59,999 |
| 16GB + 512GB | Rs 61,999 |
Other than the RAM increase, there’s no difference in terms of specifications. But with 16GB RAM, this variant would be more powerful than the others since it will have more processing power for heavy tasks on the 15R.
OnePlus 15R launched in India as a performance-focused smartphone and an affordable alternative to the flagship OnePlus 15. It packs a large 7,400mAh battery with 80W fast charging support, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 50MP + 8MP camera setup, and a 32MP front camera. The OnePlus 15R also offers 165 FPS for gaming on select titles, for a smoother experience.
Based on what the handset offers, the OnePlus 15R is a definite pick for those who want a powerful device. It can handle heavy to intensive tasks without slowing down. The battery is also reliable, easily lasting an entire day under heavy usage and even more. It does come with compromises, though, like the cameras, which are okay for casual use but not for versatility. The screen is also LTPS and not the power-efficient LTPO. If you’re a power user, then the OnePlus 15R can be considered, but for better cameras, you might want to check out alternatives like the Vivo X200T. But if you are planning to buy then you should go ahead as there seems to be no end to the price hikes.
