OnePlus has officially unveiled its latest flagship the OnePlus 15 on October 27, 2025, marking a new chapter in the brand’s legacy of blending premium design with cutting-edge performance. Alongside it, the company also introduced the OnePlus Ace 6, expanding its lineup for users looking for performance-focused smartphones in different price brackets.

The launch took place exclusively in China, with the global release expected around mid-November 2025.

The OnePlus 15 comes with a sleek aluminum alloy frame and a glass or glass-fiber back, weighing around 211g. The phone carries an IP68/IP69K rating, offering dust tightness and water resistance even against high-pressure water jets.

Up front, the device features a stunning 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support, capable of reaching up to 1800 nits brightness. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, it ensures durability without compromising clarity.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (3nm) chip, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage (UFS 4.1). It runs on Android 16 with ColorOS 16, promising fluid multitasking and future-ready performance.

On the camera side, the OnePlus 15 sports a triple-lens setup: a 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom, and another 50MP ultrawide shooter. Video recording goes all the way up to 8K@30fps, with Dolby Vision and gyro-EIS stabilization. The 32MP selfie camera supports up to 4K@60fps video, ensuring crisp detail for vloggers and selfie lovers alike.

Battery life is equally impressive, with a 7300mAh cell supporting 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. OnePlus claims a full charge in just 40 minutes, with bypass charging to reduce heat during gaming sessions.

The OnePlus 15 will be available in Infinite Black, Ultra Violet, and Sand Storm color options, starting at around €480 in China.

With the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6, OnePlus continues to push the boundaries of speed, power, and design offering something for both flagship enthusiasts and mid-range users.
