OnePlus isn’t done with 2025, confirming it will launch three more gadgets before year’s end.
Following various teasers, the company will launch the OnePlus 15R, Pad Go 2, and Watch Lite on Dec. 17. The 15R and Pad Go 2 will be available in the US as well as Europe and India. However, the Watch Lite will be exclusive to Europe, and won’t go on sale in the US.
OnePlus hasn’t shared whether there will be a launch event, but it says more details will be shared over the next few weeks ahead of the mid-December unveiling.
The brand also shared several details about the OnePlus 15R, including the fact it’ll come in two colors, Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze, and has a durability rating of IP69K.
The OnePlus Pad Go 2 will come in Lavender Drift or Shadow Black. The latter is the brand’s 5G variant. It will also sell an additional stylus made for note-taking and drawing.
Rumors suggests the new phone won’t share the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 found in the OnePlus 15. It may instead use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, which would mean slightly reduced performance compared to the flagship phone.
In Europe, the Watch Lite will be sold for what OnePlus calls an “even more accessible price point.” We don’t know much else aside from the Silver Steel variant shown off today.
