FAQs
Does the OnePlus 15R support wireless charging or expandable storage?
No, the OnePlus 15R does not include wireless charging—it’s wired-only with 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging (or 55W base in some regions/bundles). It also lacks a microSD card slot for expandable storage, relying solely on its built-in 256 GB or 512 GB UFS 4.1 options. Many users note these as intentional trade-offs for the massive 7400mAh battery and slim design, but they remain frequent points of discussion compared to some competitors.
How does the battery life actually perform in real-world use?
The 7400mAh silicon-carbon battery is widely praised as one of the phone’s strongest features, often delivering multi-day endurance with moderate to heavy use, including sustained high-frame-rate gaming (like always-on 120FPS in supported titles). Reviews and user reports highlight 20+ hours of screen-on time in mixed scenarios, with excellent efficiency from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset—making it a standout for users prioritizing all-day or longer reliability without frequent charging.
