OnePlus sidesteps the global RAM squeeze by adding a new memory tier to its 15R lineup in India. The flagship, already powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, now ships with 16 GB of RAM paired to 512 GB of storage at INR 61,999, a move that defies market trends for consumers hunting top‑end performance without a price hike.

The earlier 12 GB/512 GB variant sold at INR 59,999, while the 12 GB/256 GB model fetched INR 54,999. The new option places the 15R alongside rivals that offer similar specs but at higher price points, positioning OnePlus as a value leader in a segment where silicon shortages have driven up component costs for users seeking premium hardware at accessible prices.

Beyond memory, the 15R retains a 6.83‑inch AMOLED panel with 165 Hz refresh, 3,600‑nit peak brightness, and a 7,400 mAh battery that supports 80 W wired charging. Camera hardware stays consistent: a 50 MP main sensor, 8 MP ultra‑wide, and a 32 MP front unit. The new configuration satisfies gamers and creators alike without compromising daily usability or battery life today.

By offering the 16 GB variant at an accessible price, OnePlus counters the trend of escalating RAM costs driven by data‑center demand. The move signals the brand’s intent to maintain market share against competitors that struggle with supply constraints. Consumers now have a high‑performance option that blends cutting‑edge specs with price stability for users prioritizing performance.
