OnePlus has expanded its India product portfolio with the official launch of the OnePlus 15R smartphone and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet. Announced on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, the new devices aim to strengthen OnePlus’s presence in both the premium smartphone segment and the affordable tablet market. Alongside the standard model, OnePlus also unveiled an Ace Edition of the OnePlus 15R, offering a distinctive colour option.
The OnePlus 15R arrives as the direct successor to the OnePlus 13R, which debuted earlier this year, while the OnePlus Pad Go 2 positions itself as a more accessible alternative to the original Pad Go with upgraded hardware and multitasking features.

The display reaches up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness and offers a pixel density of 450ppi, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.
