But, just like many other OEMs, OnePlus finds itself in a difficult spot. The shortage of memory chips has forced most phone makers to launch their new devices at higher than expected price. The OnePlus 15R lands in India at Rs 47,999 — exactly Rs 5,000 more than last year’s OnePlus 13R. Not just this, some trade-offs have been made in order to keep the price under check, most notably the absence of a telephoto sensor. It’s not a random product decision. It has to do with the economics. We will see more such decisions in 2026. So, prepare yourself.
