According to a recent leak, OnePlus’s next-generation affordable flagship sports excellent specifications. With several improvements over its predecessors, the OnePlus 15R may rank among the top smartphones in its class. A larger battery, a quicker processor, increased durability, and other improvements are also rumoured.

Gadgetsdata, the tipster, provides the news. According to this tweet, there will be significant hardware improvements in the OnePlus 15R, which may make its Chinese debut as the Ace 6. It could have a 1.5K resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and a flat OLED display screen on the front.

To put it another way, the Chinese company may sell it as a gaming smartphone. This is further supported by the suspected Snapdragon 8 Elite processor beneath the hood. Powering high-end Android flagships like the OnePlus 13, the chip is Qualcomm’s current flagship CPU.

An even larger 7,000mAh cell might be included in the OnePlus 13R’s successor, which launched with a fantastic 6,000mAh battery pack. Additionally, rapid charging support of 80W or more is anticipated.

In terms of optics, the back will include a telephoto shooter like its predecessor and a primary camera with an ultra-wide-angle lens. However, there’s a chance that the camera sensors will also be upgraded. The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is quicker and more precise than the optical sensor on the 13R, is another noteworthy advancement.

According to the tipster, the design will still have a metal frame, but an IP68 + IP69 classification will provide it with improved weather protection. The OnePlus 13R, in contrast, is merely rated IP65. The new OnePlus 15R, which may be a renamed OnePlus Ace 6, will probably cost more due to these improvements.
