Two new OnePlus devices have been teased
Launches should happen within the next 2-3 months
There are rumors about what's coming

We just gave OnePlus' new flagship phone a rare five-out-of-five score in our OnePlus 15 review, and there's more hardware on the way from the company: we now have official teases for both the OnePlus 15R and a new OnePlus smartwatch.

These teasers don't really tell us much about either device, but we can still make some educated guesses about what's coming. Head over to the official OnePlus website (via GSMArena) to take a look for yourself.

First up is the OnePlus 15R, which should be a cut-price, stripped-down version of the OnePlus 15 – just like the Pixel 'a' series, the iPhone 'e' series, and the Samsung 'FE' series. If you're looking for value for money, you're likely to find it here.

Based on past launches, the OnePlus 15R will almost certainly be the international version of the OnePlus Ace 6 that's already launched in China. That means we'll get a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and a dual-lens 50MP+8MP camera.

Watch this space

As for the watch, described as the OnePlus New Watch, we get a basic outline image and that's about it. The small print on the site points to a full name reveal by the end of this month, and a launch in either December or January.

Considering Oppo and OnePlus are now virtually the same company, there has been speculation that the incoming smartwatch will be a rebadged version of the Oppo Watch S, which offers an ultra-thin form factor and up to 10 days of battery life.

The most recent OnePlus smartwatch we've seen was the OnePlus Watch 3, launched back in February. While it didn't impress us quite as much as the OnePlus 15 did, we still described it as one of the best Android smartwatches of the year.

You can of course subscribe to updates for both these products on the OnePlus website, and in return you might get some money off the watch or a free OnePlus 15R when launch day rolls around in the next couple of months.
