While there are plenty of rumors and reports regarding OnePlus’ next flagship smartphone, a fresh teaser has revealed some interesting details regarding another upcoming smartphone from the brand. OnePlus just confirmed that it will launch the world’s first smartphone with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, and the OnePlus 15R could be the model carrying it.
OnePlus 15R Could Beat Rivals to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Chip
In a recent post on Weibo, the Chinese brand confirmed that it will debut the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 powered smartphone. The brand shared a teaser image poster that showcased the new chipset, but has yet to confirm which model will feature this new chipset. This was shared on the brand’s Chinese social media account, but OnePlus executive Li Jie Louis has confirmed that this model will be seeing a global debut.
To recall, the upcoming OnePlus 15 flagship phone is set to debut with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, which will soon be announced as Qualcomm’s latest and greatest. So the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will arrive as a step below option that could likely power next gen flagship killer or budget flagship smartphones. In other words, the OnePlus 15R could very well be the first to feature this chipset.
Another likely contender is the OnePlus 15T, which is a compact flagship phone. But since its predecessor got the top end chip last year, the OnePlus 15R seems like the better candidate at the moment. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more.
