OnePlus 15 Is Finally Coming To The United States — Preorder Now And Here's When You Can Get One

OnePlus is finally ready to sell its flagship OnePlus 15 smartphone in the United States, more than a month after it was revealed in China. Due to the longest U.S. government shutdown in history, the OnePlus 15 wasn’t able to receive Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clearance until now.

The flagship phone launched in China at the end of October, and normally, a U.S. version would have launched a month later. However, the government shutdown started on October 1, 2025, and lasted until November 12, 2025.

Eventually, you’ll be able to purchase the OnePlus 15 at Amazon or Best Buy, but the first pre-orders are only available at the OnePlus website right now. The base model starts at $900 and features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. That configuration only comes in black.

Similarly, you’ll need to upgrade to get more colors and storage. The Ultraviolet or Sand Storm colorways cost $1,000 but feature 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

According to the OnePlus website, the phone will ship in 10 days if you pre-order it now, with an arrival date of Tuesday, December 23. It’s not clear when the phone will show up in stores.

If you preorder now you can choose one free accessory while supplies last: OnePlus Buds Pro 3 in white or black, an AIRVOOC 50W wireless charger, select phone cases, or, in some cases, the OnePlus Watch 3. These are available as long as supplies last. The earbuds usually cost $180, making them the highest value option.

The OnePlus 15 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, one of the first phones to feature the new processor. It’s paired with 6.78” 1.5K OLED display that offers a 120Hz refresh rate, though that can go as high as 165Hz when gaming. For photographers, the OnePlus 15 has a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultra wide, 50MP telephoto, and a 32MP front camera.

The U.S. OnePlus 15 also features a massive 7,300mAh battery, though it does have a slower charging speed compared to the Chinese version. Instead, it features 50W wireless charging and 80W wired charging, a still impressive standard.

Tom’s Guide was able to review the U.S. version of the phone in November. My colleague John Velasco said in his OnePlus 15 review that the device is a substantial upgrade that’s “more satisfying than anything else it’s released.”

In our battery testing, we managed to get an astounding 25 hours and 13 minutes before recharging. That’s a staggering feat compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s more than 10 hours compared to the S25 Ultra, and an 8-hour workday longer than the iPhone 17.

“I just can’t believe that the best phone to come out this year waited until now to be released,” wrote Velasco in our review. “But it’s worth the wait.”
