OnePlus is set to unveil two new products today in India—the OnePlus 15R smartphone and the OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet. The launch is taking place at a live event in Bengaluru, marking an important moment for the brand as it brings back an in-person keynote format while celebrating its 12th anniversary. Both devices are expected to go on sale starting December 18 through Amazon India and OnePlus’ official website.
OnePlus Returns to a Live Launch Event
The event is being streamed globally from Bengaluru, allowing fans to tune in online while thousands of OnePlus community members attend in person. This is OnePlus’ return to large-scale physical launch events after a long gap. People attending the venue will be able to try out the new phone and tablet immediately after the announcement, while online viewers can expect complete details around specifications, pricing, and availability during the livestream.
The launch can be watched through OnePlus’ official website and its YouTube channel, while entry to the physical event has been made available through BookMyShow.
OnePlus 15R: What Makes It Stand Out
The OnePlus 15R is shaping up to be one of the most interesting phones in its segment. It becomes the first smartphone globally to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, positioning it as a powerful option for users who want flagship-level performance at a more accessible price.
One of its biggest highlights is the 7,400mAh battery, the largest battery OnePlus has ever used in an Indian smartphone. The company says the battery is designed to retain 80% of its health even after four years, supported by Silicon Nanostack technology and 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging.
On the camera side, OnePlus is bringing features usually reserved for its premium models. The phone uses the DetailMax Engine, enabling modes such as Ultra Clear photography and Clear Night processing. The rear camera supports 4K video recording at 120fps, a feature normally seen only on high-end flagships.
The front camera also sees a major improvement. The 15R includes a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus, both of which are firsts for the R-series. This setup also allows 4K video recording from the front camera, making it more suitable for creators and video calls.
For gaming and daily use, the phone features a 165Hz AMOLED display with sharp visuals and adaptive brightness. The screen reaches up to 1,800 nits in bright conditions and can drop as low as 1 nit for comfortable viewing at night.
OnePlus will sell the 15R in Charcoal Black, Mint Green, and a special Electric Violet Ace Edition, which uses a fiberglass back designed to resist fingerprints.
OnePlus Pad Go 2: Focused on Productivity and Students
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 is positioned as a practical tablet aimed at students, young professionals, and everyday productivity users. It comes with a 12.1-inch display offering 2.8K resolution along with Dolby Vision support. OnePlus has chosen a 7:5 aspect ratio, which provides extra vertical space for documents, reading, and multitasking.
Powering the tablet is MediaTek’s Dimensity 7300-Ultra chipset, built on a 4nm process for better efficiency. OnePlus claims the tablet is designed to deliver smooth performance for up to four years, supported by TÜV SÜD certification.
Battery life is another strong point. The Pad Go 2 packs a 10,050mAh battery, which OnePlus says can deliver around 15 hours of video playback. It also supports reverse wired charging, allowing users to charge other devices, such as a smartphone, when needed.
A notable addition is the Pad Go 2 Stylo, the first stylus made for the Pad Go lineup. According to OnePlus, just 10 minutes of charging is enough to support half a day of writing or sketching, making it useful for note-taking and creative tasks.
The tablet also includes Open Canvas software, enabling smooth split-screen multitasking and easy switching between apps, which enhances productivity and media consumption.

Expected Pricing in India
OnePlus has not officially revealed the prices yet. However, the OnePlus 15R is expected to be positioned as a value-focused flagship, offering high-end features at a competitive price. The Pad Go 2 is likely to follow the affordable pricing approach of its predecessor, keeping it accessible for students and everyday users.
Final pricing details will be announced during today’s launch event.
Final Thoughts
With the OnePlus 15R and Pad Go 2, the company appears to be strengthening its lineup across both smartphones and tablets. The 15R focuses on performance, battery life, and camera upgrades, while the Pad Go 2 targets productivity and long-term usability. As OnePlus marks its 12-year journey with a return to live events, today’s launch could set the tone for its product strategy going forward.
