OnePlus is taking $100 off the 12GB/512GB version of its OnePlus 15R Android phone on the US store, dropping the price to $699.99 for buyers who enter the code GRADUATION at checkout. The discount is paired with a free Sandstone Magnetic Case and a choice of one extra gift from a short list, turning a single-device price cut into a bundled graduation-season push at the high end of OnePlus’s mid-range line.
The deal lands roughly six months after the OnePlus 15R arrived in the US in December 2025, with the original 512GB sticker price holding at $799.99. OnePlus is layering a code, a case, and a second gift on top of that price rather than re-cutting the sticker, which is how the company has framed its other recent US promotions. The promo runs through the official OnePlus US website only, and the offer is reported on by the tech press without an end date.
The Deal, Item by Item
Three things ship with every 15R purchased through the GRADUATION code, in addition to the trim on the 512GB variant. The discount is the headline, but the bundle is what gives the offer its value.
- $100 off the 12GB/512GB OnePlus 15R, final price $699.99, applied with the promo code GRADUATION at checkout on the official OnePlus US site.
- A free Sandstone Magnetic Case included with every order at this price.
- One optional gift chosen by the buyer: either a Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case or a pair of Nord Buds Pro wireless earbuds.
The promo is live on the OnePlus 15R product page on the US site, and the original deal write-up on the 15R discount does not list an end date. The $100 trim is applied at checkout when the code is entered. OnePlus has not confirmed a closing date for the offer, which is consistent with the company’s pattern of running open-ended, code-based discounts on individual devices through its own channels.
The promo applies only to the US store and only to the 12GB/512GB variant. Other configurations and other OnePlus regional stores are outside the deal as reported, and the 15’s own discount is governed by a separate code.
The Hardware Under the $699.99 Sticker
The 15R runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, a 3nm part positioned just below the higher-end Snapdragon chip used in the OnePlus 15. The 15R is paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, the only configuration the deal applies to in the US listing, and the device sits on the 15R’s full spec sheet as OnePlus’s second-tier 2025 flagship.
The phone ships with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display at a 1272 x 2800 resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision certification, and a 7,400mAh battery that OnePlus rates for 80W wired fast charging. The display is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 7i and supports an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint reader. Cameras are a 50MP main with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 32MP front sensor. The device carries an IP68/IP69K rating, ships with Android 16 and OxygenOS 16, supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and an infrared port, and is sold in Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze finishes in the US deal listing.
How the 15R Compares to the Flagship 15
Deal reporting on the 15R puts it in a specific slot in OnePlus’s lineup: just below the OnePlus 15, with a larger display and a slightly larger battery, and without the Elite-tier chip or a telephoto camera. The 15 sits one tier above the 15R and serves as the company’s top-tier model in the 2025 family.
| Specification | OnePlus 15R (12GB/512GB) | OnePlus 15 (12GB/256GB) |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.83″ AMOLED, 1272×2800, 165Hz | 6.78″ LTPO AMOLED, 1272×2772, 165Hz |
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (3nm) | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Battery | 7,400mAh, 80W wired | 7,300mAh, 80W wired, 50W wireless |
| Rear cameras | 50MP main + 8MP ultrawide | Triple 50MP |
| Front camera | 32MP | 32MP |
| US list price | $799.99 | $899.99 |
The 15 is also being discounted in the US right now, but through a different channel. A separate report from the same publisher noted on June 7, 2026 that the OnePlus 15 is available with a $100 cut on its 12GB/256GB variant, dropping the price to $799.99, with free Nord Buds 3 Pro earbuds included. Buyers enter the code EXTRA100 at checkout on the OnePlus US site to claim that deal, and the two promos run on the same store with different codes and different bundled gifts.
The 15R and the 15 are not the same deal, then. The 15R cut gets you a Sandstone case plus a second gift of your choice, and it skips the wireless charging and the telephoto-grade camera the 15 brings. The 15 cut gets you bundled earbuds and the higher-end chip, but lands on the smaller 256GB storage tier. They sit close enough in price after their respective discounts that the choice is now about storage and the camera bump, not the sticker.
Why the Promo Code Is Named GRADUATION
The deal lands in the second week of June, the back end of graduation season in the US. The code name tracks the timing, but the offer itself is not gated on a student or graduate verification, according to the deal reporting on it. Buyers apply the code at checkout like any other promo on the OnePlus US site, with no extra account-level step required for the discount and the bundle.
OnePlus does run a separate student and graduate discount on its US site, distinct from the GRADUATION code. The OnePlus discounts page for students, graduates, and employees lists three tracks, and verified users in those tracks get up to 15% off under the program’s terms, with the exclusive pricing unable to be combined with coupon codes on the OnePlus site. The GRADUATION code stacks on top of the 15R’s sticker; the verified discounts are a separate program on the same site, and the two are not combined in the deal reporting. OnePlus has run similar discount pushes on the 15R before, including an earlier Freedom Sale cut on the 15R in India earlier in 2026.
Fine Print on the Promo
The deal write-up on Notebookcheck carries a standing disclaimer: the discounted price was available at the time of writing, and may be subject to time restrictions or limited unit availability. The end date is not given, and the promo could be pulled, repriced, or restricted to a smaller window of stock without a separate announcement from OnePlus.
Several specifics are also not spelled out in the deal reporting. The discount and the bundle are confirmed only for the 12GB/512GB configuration, and the 256GB variant’s status under GRADUATION is not addressed. Whether GRADUATION requires any account-level verification is not stated, and the promo’s US-only framing in the reporting leaves the global OnePlus store outside the deal.
The bundle covers both a case and a second gift, and the effective value of the order is higher than the headline number suggests. The case and the chosen extra are what push the deal past a straight price cut. The 15R first arrived on the US market six months ago, in the December 2025 US launch coverage. The new pricing lands as the device is well into its first sales year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get $100 off the OnePlus 15R?
Buyers take the cut by entering the code GRADUATION at checkout on the official OnePlus US site after adding the 12GB/512GB 15R to the cart. The price drops to $699.99, the Sandstone Magnetic Case is added automatically, and the buyer picks a second gift from the two options during the same checkout flow. No student or graduate verification is required for this code.
Does the GRADUATION code expire?
OnePlus has not confirmed an end date for the offer in the deal reporting. The promo is open-ended until the company closes it, consistent with other code-based OnePlus US discounts that run for weeks or months without a hard cutoff.
Is the 256GB OnePlus 15R also discounted under GRADUATION?
The discount and the bundle are confirmed for the 12GB/512GB configuration only. The 256GB OnePlus 15R’s status under the GRADUATION code is not confirmed by OnePlus or in the deal reporting. The deal reporting also frames the promo as US-only, with the global OnePlus store outside the deal.
What colors are available with the GRADUATION deal?
The US deal listing covers the 15R in Charcoal Black and Mint Breeze. The wider 15R colorway also includes Electric Violet on the spec sheet, though the US promo and bundle are framed around the two finishes.
Is the OnePlus 15R deal a better buy than the OnePlus 15 deal?
After their respective discounts, the 15R at the new price with a free case and a second gift sits $100 below the 15 at $799.99 with free Nord Buds 3 Pro, but the 15 keeps the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a telephoto-grade camera, and wireless charging. Storage differs too: the 15R is 512GB, the 15’s discounted variant is 256GB.
