The upcoming OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious Android flagships of the year with new leaks pointing to a shiny new OLED display and a big battery.
We already knew that the phone was going to launch with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, but new leaks highlighted by GSMArena have given us new insight on what to expect ahead of the phone’s expected launch later this month.
Bigger battery and faster screen
The latest leak, which comes from @TechKard on X, points to a 6.78-inch, 1.5K, BOE X3 AMOLED display with a refresh rate of up to 165Hz and 1,800 nits of peak brightness. That’s a clear jump from the OnePlus 13’s 120 Hz screen and should make everyday use feel smoother, whether you’re gaming, streaming, or just scrolling.
Battery life might be another big step forward. The OnePlus 15 is rumored to pack a 7,300 mAh battery with 120W and 50W wireless charging. If those numbers hold, it could finally deliver both endurance and speed, something even the best smartphones struggle to balance. Leaked lifestyle shots show the phone in a Sand Storm finish, keeping that signature clean, understated OnePlus style.
Familiar camera setup with subtle improvements
The OnePlus 15 is likely sticking with the same triple 50MP rear camera setup as the OnePlus 13. The 15 will reportedly have a Sony LYT-700 sensor on the main camera (24mm f/1.8, OIS) and two Samsung ISOCELL JN5 sensors on the back – one that’s ultrawide and the other telephoto.
The leak also suggests that the phone will come with Dolby Vision, dual speakers, massive haptics, and an IP69-rating.
There’s still no information on the pricing just yet, but with the launch just around the corner, we shouldn’t need to wait too much longer for full details.
Opinion
From the leaks so far, the OnePlus 15 doesn’t sound like a total reinvention, but more of a fine-tune. It takes what worked on the OnePlus 13 and polishes it, with a bigger battery, a smoother screen, and more power where it counts. I absolutely love OnePlus and it finally feels like the company is hitting its stride.
