We know how the phone looks, what will underpin it, what sort of cameras will be present and even the software experience – the basics have been laid out. With fresh teasers now revealing more details on the camera and performance aspects, we have started to get a full picture of the OnePlus 15.
The latest leaks confirm massive battery capacity and blazing performance metrics. The new details, which have been officially teased by OnePlus and confirmed by a Geekbench sighting, position the OnePlus 15 to be a top contender in the premium smartphone market.
OnePlus 15: What do the leaks say
The headline-grabbing feature confirmed by OnePlus is the sheer size of the power cell. The OnePlus 15 will pack a colossal 7,300mAh battery. This huge capacity far surpasses the battery size typically found in mainstream flagship Android devices, suggesting that OnePlus is relying on Silicon Carbon batteries to prioritise longer endurance for its newest device.
And since it is OnePlus, it will be complemented by equally impressive charging technology. The OnePlus 15 is said to feature 120W wired fast charging, ensuring that despite having a colossal battery, the phone can be recharged quickly. Furthermore, the Chinese variant of the device is confirmed to support 50W wireless charging. It remains to be seen whether the global and Indian variants retain support for wireless charging.
Beyond power supply, the OnePlus 15’s global variant made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmarking platform, revealing key performance specifications.
