- The OnePlus 15R will have a huge 8,300 mAh battery
- Expect a cheaper, cut-down version of the OnePlus 15
- The phone is going to be launched on December 17
You can see from our OnePlus 15 review that we were very impressed with the latest OnePlus handset, awarding it a rare five-out-of-five star rating, and now there's a rumor that the next phone from the brand will raise the bar for battery capacity.
As per OnePlus exec Li Jie Louis on Weibo (via Android Authority), the OnePlus 15R (known as the OnePlus Ace 6T in China) is going to come rocking a huge 8,300 mAh capacity battery – which should ensure plenty of time between charges.

That's even more than the 7,300 mAh battery capacity of the OnePlus 15, and it beats most other smartphones on the market too. The handsets that do go higher tend to be ultra-chunky, rugged devices meant for outdoor and remote use.

Not only that, but the OnePlus 15R is going to come with 100W charging, according to OnePlus. That's not quite as high as the 120W you get with the OnePlus 15, but it should still mean the phone can be charged very quickly indeed.
Previous OnePlus variants
OnePlus hasn't always been consistent in its phone variants, but last time out we had both the OnePlus 13R and the OnePlus 13T as more affordable companions to the OnePlus 13 for those who wanted to spend a bit less.
Both the R and T options typically cut down on a few features to hit that cheaper price, while the T version tends to be smaller too. International availability for these phones has historically been limited, though the OnePlus 13R was launched globally.
It looks like the OnePlus 15R will be sold outside China too, though we're still waiting on the specifics. We do know it's going to be launched on Wednesday, December 17, with a high level of waterproofing and dustproofing.
