Oneplus drops $100 on 15r – a surprisingly aggressive move

OnePlus is throwing a curveball at US consumers with a sudden, and frankly unexpected, price cut on its OnePlus 15R – a move that could seriously shake up the mid-range Android market.

The 15r just became a deal

Despite launching with a price point of $699.99, the 15R was initially priced higher than its predecessor, the 13R. But today, thanks to the ‘MAY26’ coupon code on the OnePlus US website, you can snag the 512GB variant for just $699.99 – a hefty $100 discount. And the savings don’t stop there.

Bundled perks – don't miss this

OnePlus is throwing in a free Sandstone Magnetic Case and a pair of OnePlus Buds 4 with the purchase. Considering the Buds 4 typically retail for $129.99, and the magnetic case is usually around $24.99, you’re looking at a potential savings of nearly $255. That’s a seriously compelling proposition.

Specs that still matter

Let’s be clear, this isn’t about the top-tier OnePlus 15 flagship. But the 15R packs a punch with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display boasting a 165Hz refresh rate, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, and a massive 7,400mAh battery capable of charging at 80W. It’s not chasing bleeding-edge performance, but it delivers a premium experience at a fraction of the cost. The camerasystem, while perhaps not revolutionary, offers a robust 50MP + 8MP dual setup, complemented by a 32MP front-facing camera.

A value proposition that's hard to ignore

I’ve spent more than a few cycles wrestling with increasingly bloated flagship devices, chasing marginal performance gains at exorbitant prices. This 15R, with its 512GB of internal storage – a surprisingly generous offering for this price point – represents an genuinely compelling alternative. It’s a testament to OnePlus’s ability to deliver serious value. While inventory of those complimentary wireless earbuds may dwindle, for those who act quickly, this is a smart, almost aggressive, move from the brand.
