Here are some leaked renders and concept photos that show what the OnePlus 15 is believed to look like. It has a new design direction, new colors, and a camera module that is somewhat square.
OnePlus 15 – What We Know (So Far)
Why skip “14”?
OnePlus seems to have jumped straight from the 13 to the 15 in its nomenclature, omitting the 14. Like previous changes like the switch from the OnePlus 3T to the OnePlus 5, this avoids the number 4, which is unlucky in Chinese tradition.
Expected Release Schedule
- China launch: Around October 2025
2. Global rollout: Early 2026
- Possibly January–March 2026, or even sooner in some markets
Performance & Platform
- May debut as one of the first devices with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, offering significant speed gains
2. Up to 16 GB RAM and OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 out of the box
3. Benchmark appearances support these specs, though early test scores shouldn’t be taken as a final performance measure
Display & Design
- A flat ~6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution is expected—an adjustment from the previous curved 2K screen
2. Likely ultra-slim bezels, aiming for a lighter frame than the OnePlus 13
3. Rumored to offer a blistering 165 Hz refresh rate, but with a lower resolution compared to its predecessor
Battery & Charging
- A significantly larger ~7,000 mAh battery, potentially using advanced dual-cell silicon-carbon tech, and rumored to support 100W wired and possibly 50W wireless charging
Camera & Image Processing
- Leaks suggest a shift to an in-house imaging engine, marking a move away from OnePlus’s previous Hasselblad collaboration
2. Triple rear cameras—with 50 MP sensors for main, ultrawide, and periscope telephoto—are expected
3. Some leaks even mention a 200 MP periscope option, though that’s less certain
Colors & Pricing
- Leaked color variants include Black, Purple, Titanium, and possibly a special Moon Rock Black
2. In India, the expected price hovers around ₹80,000, a modest bump from the OnePlus 13’s ₹69,999 launch price
