OnePlus 15R to Feature Best-in-Class Selfie Camera
▼ Summary
– The OnePlus 15R will be officially unveiled on December 17, with many of its details already revealed by the company.
– OnePlus confirms the 15R has the best selfie camera ever in an R series phone, featuring a 32MP sensor with autofocus.
– The selfie camera’s video capability is upgraded to 4K at 30fps from the previous model’s 1080p.
– The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and includes a 165Hz AMOLED screen with a 7,400 mAh battery.
– It will also feature the same DetailMax Engine image processing as the flagship OnePlus 15 model.
The upcoming OnePlus 15R is set to deliver a significant leap in front-facing camera performance, positioning it as the most capable selfie shooter ever included in the brand’s R-series lineup. This confirmation arrives just ahead of the device’s full unveiling scheduled for December 17th, an event preceded by a steady stream of official details from the company.
Today, OnePlus made it official: the 15R will feature the best selfie camera ever placed in an R-series phone. While the historical bar for this particular line may not have been exceptionally high, the specifications point to a meaningful upgrade. The new model will utilize a 32MP front-facing sensor, which doubles the resolution of the 16MP camera found in the preceding OnePlus 13R.
More importantly, the camera system introduces a highly practical feature: autofocus. This development is particularly welcome, as megapixel count alone is a poor indicator of image quality. The inclusion of autofocus, a feature increasingly trickling down from flagship devices, should provide sharper, more consistent selfies and improve video call clarity.
Beyond still photos, the front camera’s video capabilities have also received a boost. The OnePlus 15R will support 4K video recording at 30 frames per second from its selfie camera, a notable step up from the 1080p limit of its predecessor. OnePlus has also confirmed that the phone will benefit from the same DetailMax Engine image processing found in the standard OnePlus 15, which should enhance overall image detail and clarity.
The camera news adds to an already impressive set of core specifications. The device is confirmed to run on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and will feature a vibrant 165Hz refresh rate AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution. Perhaps most striking is the massive 7,400 mAh battery, which promises exceptional battery life, setting a new standard for the series.
These collective upgrades suggest the OnePlus 15R aims to blend high-performance hardware with genuinely improved multimedia capabilities, making its front-facing camera a central part of the user experience rather than an afterthought.
