OnePlus 15R Price in Kenya
The OnePlus 15R price in Kenya is KSh 72,499 to KSh 74,599 at Avechi, depending on the version you pick from the RAM / Storage menu above. It comes with a 1-year warranty, and you can have it delivered or pick it up from our Nairobi shop.
OnePlus launched the 15R in December 2025 as a cut-down version of the OnePlus 15. It keeps the big 165Hz screen, the IP68/IP69K sealing and a flagship-class Snapdragon chip, but drops the telephoto camera and wireless charging. In return it carries an even larger 7,400mAh battery. It is aimed at gamers and heavy users who care more about speed and battery life than zoom photography.

Why buy the OnePlus 15R
- A very large battery. The 7,400mAh cell is larger than the one in the more expensive OnePlus 15, so a full day of maps, calls and streaming leaves charge to spare.
- Built for gaming. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a 165Hz screen keep fast shooters and racing games smooth.
- Serious water and dust sealing. IP68 and IP69K mean dust storms on a site visit or a hosepipe splash will not hurt it.
- Quick 80W top-ups. You can recover a large chunk of that big battery in a short break.
- Handy extras. The IR blaster works as a remote for the TV or air conditioner, and stereo speakers help with films.
