The tech world is buzzing as OnePlus officially announces a major double-device launch event scheduled for December 17. The spotlight will be on the much-anticipated OnePlus 15R smartphone and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet, with sales confirmed for key markets including India, Europe, and North America.
OnePlus 15R: A Powerhouse in a Rugged Frame
Following the flagship OnePlus 15's October debut, the OnePlus 15R is poised to make its own mark. The device will be available in two elegant colour options: Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze. A significant design overhaul introduces a flat metal mid-frame and a uniquely positioned camera module, placed at a precise 45-degree angle from the upper left corner.
OnePlus is making bold claims about the device's resilience, boasting that the OnePlus 15R will feature the most comprehensive durability ratings in the industry. It is expected to carry IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, ensuring it can withstand significant terrain changes and harsh conditions.
Expected Specifications of the OnePlus 15R
While official specifications are yet to be confirmed, industry leaks and the recent launch of its Chinese counterpart, the OnePlus Ace 6, paint a compelling picture. The OnePlus 15R is expected to feature:
- A large 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS AMOLED display with a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate.
- Power under the hood from the top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
- A capable camera system including a 50MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 16MP front camera.
- A massive 7,800mAh battery supported by blazing-fast 120W wired charging. Wireless charging is not expected.
This premium package is likely to come with a higher price tag, with rumours suggesting a starting price of around Rs 45,000 in India.
OnePlus Pad Go 2: Bringing 5G to the Affordable Tablet Segment
Alongside the smartphone, OnePlus is set to refresh its tablet lineup with the OnePlus Pad Go 2. The company states this device is engineered to deliver an excellent and affordable experience to the competitive mid-range tablet market.
The tablet will come in two colour variants: Shadow Black and Lavender Drift. A headline feature for the Pad Go 2 is that it will be the first OnePlus tablet to feature 5G connectivity. OnePlus has highlighted that the Shadow Black model, in particular, will offer enhanced connectivity for fast and seamless mobile performance.
In a significant boost for productivity, the OnePlus Pad Go 2 will also support a stylus. This marks it as the first tablet in the OnePlus Go series to integrate pen support, which the company claims will increase accuracy and efficiency for note-taking and creative tasks, making it an ideal tool for both students and working professionals.
As the December 17 launch date approaches, OnePlus has promised to reveal more concrete details about both the OnePlus 15R and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 in the coming weeks, building anticipation for what promises to be a significant end-of-year product unveiling.
