The company has already teased several exciting specifications, building significant anticipation for the official reveal.
How to Watch the OnePlus 'Rise as One' Livestream
For fans eager to catch the unveiling live, OnePlus has made arrangements for a global digital event. The company will host a special launch event titled 'Rise as One', which will be broadcast live on its official YouTube channel. The livestream is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Viewers can tune in directly on YouTube to witness the announcements firsthand.
During this stream, OnePlus is expected to disclose all final details that have been kept under wraps, including the official pricing for both devices, pre-order dates, and availability information across various markets, including India. This is the moment when all speculated features will be confirmed.
OnePlus 15R: Power-Packed Specifications Revealed
Positioned just below the flagship OnePlus 15, the 15R is shaping up to be a formidable device in its own right. OnePlus has confirmed it will be the first globally available smartphone to feature the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform, promising top-tier performance.
The device will sport a high-refresh-rate 165 Hz 1.5K AMOLED display, designed for smooth visuals. A dedicated Touch Response Chip aims to make interactions feel instantaneous, while a G2 Wi-Fi chip should ensure robust and fast internet connectivity.
In a major highlight, the OnePlus 15R will house a massive 7,400mAh battery, which the company claims is the largest ever fitted in a OnePlus phone. This addresses a key demand for exceptional battery life. For selfie lovers, it marks a first for the R series with a 32-megapixel front camera featuring autofocus and 4K video recording at 30fps. It will also share premium software features like the DetailMax Engine with its more expensive sibling.
OnePlus Pad Go 2: A Tablet for Productivity and Learning
The second-generation OnePlus Pad Go aims to be a compelling option for students and young professionals. It features a large 12.1-inch (30.73 cm) display with a 7:5 aspect ratio and 284 PPI for comfortable reading and media consumption. Powering the tablet is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300-Ultra octa-core chipset.
Battery life is a strong suit here as well, with the Pad Go 2 packing an enormous 10,050 mAh battery supported by SUPERVOOC charging technology. Interestingly, the tablet will also support reverse charging, allowing it to power other devices via a cable. A significant upgrade is the introduction of stylus support for the first time in the Pad Go lineup, directly catering to note-taking and creative tasks.
The stage is set for a major dual launch from OnePlus. With the 15R bringing flagship-level chipsets and record-breaking battery capacity to a more affordable tier, and the Pad Go 2 enhancing its appeal with a stylus and huge battery, today's announcements could significantly impact the competitive smartphone and tablet markets in India and beyond.
