OnePlus is gearing up to launch its next flagship smartphone, and it's generating considerable buzz. The phone will be called the OnePlus 15, with the company skipping the number 14, which is considered unlucky in Chinese culture. Here's a breakdown of what to expect from the OnePlus 15 5G:

Launch Date:

While there's no official launch date yet, current expectations point towards an October 2025 release in China, followed by a global launch possibly in November or December 2025 or early 2026. Some sources suggest a launch in China between October 20th and 30th. The earlier-than-usual announcement suggests a potential for an earlier release compared to previous OnePlus flagships.

Price in India:

The expected price for the OnePlus 15 in India is around ₹79,999 for the base variant with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. Other sources suggest a starting price of ₹66,999. These are, however, expected prices and may vary upon the official launch.

Specifications and Features:

Processor: The OnePlus 15 is confirmed to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. Qualcomm touts a 20% improvement in CPU performance and up to 35% better efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Display: The device is expected to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO screen or a 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution. Some sources claim a 6.82-inch display. A 165Hz refresh rate is confirmed, which would enhance gaming and overall smoothness. Other display features may include Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and potentially 1,800 nits of peak brightness.
RAM and Storage: Expect options for 12GB or 16GB of RAM, with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and possibly a 1TB variant.
Camera: The OnePlus 15 is rumored to sport a triple-camera setup, with three 50MP sensors. This may include a primary sensor, an ultrawide lens, and a periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. A 32MP front camera is also expected. OnePlus is also introducing its in-house "DetailMax Engine" for pro-grade photography, moving away from its partnership with Hasselblad.
Battery: A large 7000mAh battery is expected, potentially with 120W fast charging support. Some reports mention 100W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
Operating System: The OnePlus 15 is likely to run on Android 15 or Android 16-based ColorOS 16.
Other Features: Other expected features include dual SIM support, 5G connectivity, VoLTE, Wi-Fi, NFC, an IR blaster, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and potentially IP68 dust and water resistance. Some sources also point to advanced cooling solutions and a "wet touch" algorithm for improved usability.

Other Considerations:

Design: The OnePlus 15 is expected to have a flatter display and sharper edges. It may come in black, titanium, and purple color options.
Gaming: The phone is touted to provide an "unrivaled gaming experience" with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and adaptive software.

The OnePlus 15 aims to be a flagship device with a focus on performance, photography, and gaming. The earlier launch hints at OnePlus's ambition to compete more aggressively in the flagship market.
