On Tuesday, the OnePlus 15R’s price dropped again in the UK, with the 512GB version now £629 instead of £729, according to Kelkoo, the price comparison site. The last update was on Jan. 27. Kelkoo lists the phone as featuring a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, a 7,400 mAh battery, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip.
Timing is crucial as discounts and promotions are stacking up fast ahead of early-2026 flagship releases. Buyers are pushing trade-ins, gift cards, and coupons hard, with some of the best deals expiring at the end of the month.
In the UK, Google is sweetening the deal with £100 in Google Store credit when you buy the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, or Pixel 10 Pro XL, a promotion running until Feb. 4. This move puts OnePlus in a tight spot as it pushes premium gear without relying on carrier subsidies.
Best Buy is handing out up to $600 in trade-in credit for the OnePlus 15 in the U.S., plus a $100 Best Buy e-gift card, valid through Jan. 31, according to its promo page. This deal targets unlocked OnePlus 15 phones priced at $999.99, with the top savings linked to qualifying trade-ins like Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Best Buy is including a $100 e-gift card with the unlocked OnePlus 15R, priced at $699.99. This tactic of bundling gift cards lets retailers boost appeal without lowering the listed price.
Android Central, which flagged the Best Buy trade-in deal last week, reports the OnePlus 15 packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with 16GB of RAM and a hefty 7,300 mAh battery. The phone boasts an IP69K rating, meaning it’s tough against dust and water. However, it misses out on Qi2, the magnetic wireless charging standard.

The phone packs three 50-megapixel rear cameras, including an 80mm telephoto lens, and offers 8K video recording, the review detailed. Amateurphotographer
OnePlus founder Pete Lau highlighted the phone’s focus on performance, powered by Qualcomm’s newest flagship chip. “With Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 at its core, the OnePlus 15 … delivering the speed, intelligence and efficiency our users demand,” Lau said in a statement last year. Stuff
In the UK, OnePlus is offering a £100 discount coupon for the OnePlus 15R as part of a subscription campaign. The coupon remains valid until Jan. 28, but OnePlus notes it can’t be stacked with other discounts or limited-time deals.
But those headline savings can be tricky. Trade-in credits vary based on the device’s condition and can change without warning. Plus, store credit and gift cards won’t lower your sales tax and might be taken back if you return the phone.
OnePlus positions the 15 as a budget-friendly option against high-end models like Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, both mentioned in recent reviews. But that advantage could disappear quickly if competitors roll out similar deals or if the promotional credits expire once the month ends.
Deal round-ups have been monitoring the shifting prices and promos for OnePlus’ 15-series and Google’s Pixel 10 lineup.
