The OnePlus 15 is now closer to your nearest OnePlus store than ever. The brand has already revealed the OnePlus 15 officially for the Chinese market, complete with all features, specs and the local price for their market. As the rumours and teasers suggested, the OnePlus 15 is a full-blown flagship in the Android universe.
Succeeding the OnePlus 13 from last year, the OnePlus 15 is one of the first smartphones in the world to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset – the latest 3nm mobile chipset from Qualcomm. The OnePlus 15 was also accompanied by the OnePlus Ace 6 – a cheaper alternative to the flagship model – this could launch in India as the OnePlus 15R, the successor to the OnePlus 13R.
OnePlus 15: What is on offer this year
The OnePlus 15 is based on Qualcomm’s newest flagship silicon, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Built on a 3nm process, this octa-core chip, featuring a peak clock speed of 4.608GHz, is paired with an Adreno 840 GPU and comes configured with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 onboard storage. This combination should guarantee ample performance for almost anything one can throw at a modern Android phone.
The standout hardware feature, however, is the 7,300mAh battery – a significant capacity upgrade that addresses all concerns regarding the battery life. It supports blazing-fast charging, with 120W Super Flash Charge wired charging and 50W Wireless Flash Charge capabilities.
The OnePlus 15 also sports a 6.78-inch third-generation BOE Flexible AMOLED display. This premium screen boasts a sharp 1.5K resolution and an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate, alongside 1,800 nits of peak brightness. The phone runs on Android 16-based ColorOS 16 in the Chinese market but India will get OnePlus’ Oxygen OS 16 skin was fewer bloatware apps.
