The original tech upstart, OnePlus went back to its roots on the recently released OnePlus 15 – a smartphone with the most insane battery life.
Now the firm has unleashed three shiny new devices for 2026. OnePlus Watch Lite and OnePlus Pad Go will be on sale from Christmas Eve, but fans will have to wait until January 15 to get their hands on OnePlus 15R, the eagerly anticipated more affordable alternative to the OnePlus 15 flagship.
Here’s everything you need to know about the three devices. Full reviews of OnePlus Watch Lite and OnePlus 15R follow soon on irishmirror.ie.
OnePlus 15R
OnePlus 15R is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 mobile platform, the first device to arrive in the EU with the chip which boasts 36 percent faster CPU speeds and 11 percent faster GPU speeds and 46 percent better AI performance than the previous generation chip.
OnePlus 15R also features a gargantuan 7,400 mAh silicon carbon battery that is an even larger capacity than the power pack on OnePlus 15.

And the new handset comes with the firm’s first 165Hz refresh rate display which is aimed at gamers. The large 6.83in AMOLED panel has 1,800 nits of peak brightness and an industry-leading instant touch sampling rate of 3200Hz for super quick responses whether scrolling or gaming.
Other highlights include a 32MP selfie camera with autofocus and a 50MP main camera, the same IMX906 sensor found in the OnePlus 15.
OnePlus 15R is available in both Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze, which feature what the firm calls Velvet Glass technology to make sure they feel great in your hand.
OnePlus 15R is also covered by four separate IP ratings – IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K – for serious dust and water protection.
OnePlus Watch Lite
The OnePlus Watch Lite promises core smartwatch features in an elegant, ultra-thin design. It features the 60-second Wellness Overview, offering a comprehensive snapshot of heart health, sleep quality, and mental wellness. Paired with the Mind and Body Evaluation feature, which learns your body’s patterns to assess daily stress and energy levels, the watch monitors activity, rest, and stress, sending gentle alerts with actionable insights for overall well-being.
The watch features a 1.46in AMOLED display with up to 3,000 nits peak brightness in Sports Mode and Aqua Touch technology for accurate control even with wet hands.
