Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus has officially confirmed the launch date for its two highly anticipated devices - the OnePlus 15R smartphone and OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet. Both products are scheduled to make their global debut on December 17, 2025, marking another significant release from the company following their flagship OnePlus 15 launch in October.
OnePlus 15R: Design and Durability Features
The OnePlus 15R promises to bring premium features at a more accessible price point. The device will be available in two distinct color options: Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze. OnePlus has completely redesigned the smartphone, featuring a flat metal mid-frame and a strategically positioned camera module placed at precisely 45 degrees from the upper left corner.
One of the most impressive claims from OnePlus concerns the device's durability. The company states that the OnePlus 15R boasts the most comprehensive durability ratings in the industry, achieving IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications. This exceptional rating means the smartphone can withstand significant environmental challenges and terrain changes, making it suitable for users with active lifestyles.
Expected Specifications and Pricing
While OnePlus hasn't officially revealed the complete specifications, industry insiders and previous leaks suggest impressive hardware. The OnePlus 15R is expected to feature:
- 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 8 Elite processor for flagship-level performance
- Camera system including 50MP primary sensor with OIS, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 16MP front camera
- Massive 7,800mAh battery with 120W wired fast charging support
- No wireless charging capability
The device is essentially the global version of the OnePlus Ace 6 recently launched in China. One significant change for potential buyers is the expected price increase, with the starting price anticipated around Rs 45,000 in the Indian market.
OnePlus Pad Go 2: Affordable Tablet with Premium Features
Alongside the smartphone, OnePlus is expanding its tablet lineup with the OnePlus Pad Go 2. The company positions this device as an excellent, affordable option for the competitive mid-range tablet market. The tablet will be available in Shadow Black and Lavender Drift color variants.
A notable first for OnePlus tablets is the inclusion of 5G connectivity, with the Shadow Black model specifically engineered for enhanced connectivity performance. This feature makes the Pad Go 2 more versatile for mobile use without depending on Wi-Fi networks.
The tablet also marks a significant milestone as the first device in the OnePlus Go series to feature an integrated stylus. According to OnePlus, this addition significantly boosts productivity and accuracy for note-taking and creative work, making the device equally appealing to working professionals and students.
Global Availability and Future Updates
Both the OnePlus 15R and OnePlus Pad Go 2 will be available in India, Europe, and North America markets following their December 17 launch. OnePlus has confirmed that more detailed information about both devices will be revealed in the weeks leading up to the official launch event.
This dual launch strengthens OnePlus's position in the competitive consumer electronics market, offering users both a powerful smartphone alternative to their flagship model and an affordable yet feature-rich tablet option. The December launch timing also positions these products perfectly for the holiday shopping season across global markets.
