OnePlus 15 is expected to be one of the most powerful flagships in the market. The new model will reportedly feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPO OLED display with a record-high 165 Hz refresh rate, in contrast to the 120 Hz panels that used to be a regular feature in earlier OnePlus devices.
The President of OnePlus China, Li Jie Louis, in his latest Weibo post, has hinted that the company wishes to push beyond industry standards to offer a smoother visual experience.
Under the hood, OnePlus 15 specs are likely to include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset and will be preloaded with Android 16. Rumors suggest that a 7000 mAh battery will be a key feature for the premium smartphone to support better endurance than its predecessors. These new upgrades will enhance the overall performance of OnePlus 15.
The most significant shift is the OnePlus 15 camera setup. The device is expected to offer huge triple 50MP sensors, featuring main, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses with 3x optical zoom. This upgrade will lead to a combination of detail and flexibility.
With OnePlus ending its ties with Hasselblad, a redesigned imaging approach might be on the table. Rumored to bring a new Detail MaxEngine for improved image processing, this could greatly benefit low-light and HDR settings.
On the design front, leaks suggest a device with a more premium finish and a slightly flatter frame, just like modern flagship phones.
The loss of the Hasselblad branding could force OnePlus to focus on its own camera tuning algorithms, which could give OnePlus 15 a very different image quality. This is one of the new features coming to OnePlus’ camera system.
The OnePlus 15 launch in China, slated for October, will be followed by an Indian release in January 2026. Interestingly, industry experts suggest that OnePlus is looking to challenge the hype Apple created with its iPhone 17 launch.
Apple has finally managed to bring down 120Hz ProMotion onto the base model, but OnePlus should consider 165Hz as its minimum base. Combining this with a larger battery and new camera hardware should make for an excellent value proposition from OnePlus, especially for those seeking serious performance.
The OnePlus 15 India launch remains one of 2025's most anticipated events, certainly for those looking at a flagship that features smooth display technology, large battery life, and versatile cameras. If the price is competitive, this might just be the most appealing OnePlus upgrade ever.
