My OnePlus 15R Review: A Lovely $700 Phone That's Held Back by Its Compromises

OnePlus launched the OnePlus 15R as a lower-cost variant of the OnePlus 15, priced at a $699 launch tag to offer a more approachable package.
To reach a lower price point, OnePlus cut corners to make the 15R roughly $200 cheaper than the OnePlus 15 by changing configurations and design details.
Packing the biggest battery in North America, the OnePlus 15R pairs a 7,400mAh battery with a 1272 x 2800 display at 165Hz and supports SuperVOOC charging: 55W included, 80W optional.
Despite strong battery claims, the 15R pares back to a 50MP main camera and 8MP ultrawide camera, while reviewers flag its wireless charging omission against Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 10.
Positioned at the $700 point, the 15R forces consumers deciding between battery life and camera/features to weigh multi-day battery life against stepping up to the OnePlus 15 at $900 or spending $100 more than the $800 flagship baseline.
