The company said the new selfie camera will record video in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. This is a step up from the OnePlus 13R, which used a 16MP front camera and supported video recording up to 1080p. By adding autofocus to the front camera, OnePlus aims to improve clarity during selfies and video calls, especially at varying distances. Until now, R Series phones relied on fixed-focus front cameras.

With 4K video support on the selfie camera, the OnePlus 15R aligns its front camera output with that of the brand’s mainline models. This change shows a shift in focus toward users who rely on front cameras for video recording, live streaming, and calls.
Furthermore, OnePlus has also confirmed that the OnePlus 15R will use the same DetailMax Engine found on the OnePlus 15. This software system handles image processing tasks and includes features such as Ultra Clear Mode, Clear Burst, and Clear Night Engine. These tools work across lighting conditions and shooting scenarios. On the rear, the device will support 4K video recording at up to 120 frames per second.
