- The upcoming OnePlus 15R is rumored to have a massive 8,300 mAh battery.
- It will support 100W fast charging, a slight step down from the OnePlus 15’s 150W.

Fresh off stellar reviews for its flagship OnePlus 15, the company is already gearing up for its next release, the OnePlus 15R, which looks set to be a battery champion. A new leak suggests the phone will set a new standard for how long a phone can last between charges.
According to a social media post by OnePlus executive Li Jie Louis, the upcoming OnePlus 15R will feature a jaw-dropping 8,300 mAh battery. That is a massive capacity, easily dwarfing the already impressive 7,300 mAh battery found in the top-tier OnePlus 15. A battery this large is rarely seen outside of bulky, rugged phones designed for extreme outdoor use.
To refill this giant battery, OnePlus confirmed the phone will support 100W fast charging. While this is a slight step down from the flagship model’s 120W charging speed, it should still power up the device in a remarkably short time.
OnePlus typically releases “R” and “T” models as more affordable alternatives to its main flagship. These phones usually scale back on a few features, like the processor or camera, to achieve a lower price point. While these versions have sometimes been limited to certain regions, the previous OnePlus 13R launched globally, and it appears the 15R will follow suit.
The company plans to launch the OnePlus 15R officially on Wednesday, December 17. We also know it will come with a high level of water and dustproofing. Pricing is expected to be in the same ballpark as its predecessor, around $599 / £679.
