OnePlus has officially confirmed the upcoming global launch of its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15, though the company has not revealed an exact release date.
The announcement, made on Monday, September 29, 2025, gives fans a first glimpse into what the Chinese smartphone maker describes as a “premium, performance-driven” device aimed at competing in the high-end smartphone segment.
OnePlus confirmed that the OnePlus 15 will feature a special Sand Storm edition in a dune colour. This variant is designed using aerospace-grade Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO) technology, which is applied to the middle frame and camera decorative elements.
The finish is expected to give the device a distinctive, durable look, combining both aesthetics and resilience.
The OnePlus 15 will be powered by Qualcomm’s newly launched Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, marking a significant performance boost over previous generations.
While official details on the processor’s specifications in the OnePlus 15 are limited, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is expected to deliver enhanced CPU and GPU performance, improved energy efficiency, and better AI capabilities, making it ideal for gaming, photography, and multitasking on a flagship device.
Battery life is another highlight, with the OnePlus 15 expected to house a 6,000 mAh battery, coupled with support for 100 W fast charging.
This combination is likely to allow users to charge the device fully in under 30 minutes, keeping up with the growing consumer demand for extended battery life and rapid charging in flagship smartphones.
Camera capabilities are expected to be a major focus for OnePlus 15. Rumours suggest a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50 MP main lens, a 50 MP telephoto lens, and an ultrawide sensor. On the front, a 32 MP camera is expected to handle selfies and video calls.
While OnePlus has not confirmed these specifications, the combination of high-resolution sensors and versatile lenses is aimed at appealing to photography enthusiasts who demand quality imaging from a flagship device.
Display specifications are expected to match the high standards of modern premium smartphones.
The OnePlus 15 is likely to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz. Peak brightness is reported to reach 5,000 nits, which would allow for excellent visibility even under direct sunlight. The combination of high refresh rates and peak brightness is expected to enhance the user experience for gaming, video streaming, and general smartphone use.
