The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset is rumored to feature in the coming OnePlus 15R smartphone. Recent rumors on the chipset reveal that it would not be the mythical Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is thought to bring an extraordinary upgrade.
Currently, new conjectures happening simultaneously with the old ones seem to suggest that the 15R is some sort of rebranded OnePlus Ace 6T, which is speculated to come out in the China market very soon. Some analysts mention that this will be based on 6T variant instead of the earlier Ace 6, which in turn could mean a very different hardware configuration as well.
Performance and Chipset of OnePlus 15R
Rumors support that a possible 15R with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip could have leaked its view and with its announcement, this basically gives rise to the assumption on the early timing of this leak. Check further states that this under-that-gen 5 chip might have actually been robbed from that Elite chip by OnePlus, an Elite chip is more probably the chips that are being discussed.
This has been further supported by Tech Whispers through the tipster "GadgetsData," which says that it is possible for the 15R to go with a "dual rear camera"-50MP + 50MP configuration set up-another analysts' tipsters seem equally confident too about the battery configuration of having an 8,000mAh or above backup with support for 100W wired charging and/or 50W wireless charging.
Design and other Features
If the leaked information is anything to go by, the new smartphone may present itself like the Ace 6T, which has a square rear camera module. But right now, the smartphone has gone live on an Amazon microsite for 15R on Friday in black and green.
Some analysts' comments said that the smartphone would also have IP68 or IP69 protection against dust and water, which is an added advantage as well.
Market Importance and Competition
That would definitely leave OnePlus no room but to keep adding more special features so that it can compete with performance-focused subflagships. All these chipsets and batteries did give good expectations from users about pretty impressive performance + battery duration from those devices. OnePlus 15, at least the flagship variant, is already in India with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip-on. ([Business Standard][7]) This just means that the present device 15R could perhaps sell as somewhat "cheaper but brawnier" than the flagship.
Conclusion
All news in these reports is based on what has been leaked and rumored and, therefore, has not been officially confirmed yet. The final specifications and pricing will, however, be known during the showcase for the particular mobile device or during the official press release.
