A Two-Generation Leap in Power and Intelligence
OnePlus has introduced the OnePlus 15, calling it its most ambitious flagship yet and the brand’s largest generational jump in performance, AI capability, and durability. With a redesigned hardware foundation and software ecosystem, the device marks a bold step forward in OnePlus’s premium lineup.At the center of this overhaul is a new triple-chip architecture: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for primary processing, a dedicated 3200Hz touch-response chip for instant input, and an independent Wi-Fi module that stabilizes connections in congested environments. Cooling is handled by a revamped 360 Cryo-Velocity system using aerogel insulation and white graphite to maintain stable temperatures during intensive gaming or multitasking.
An Industry-First Display Built for Immersion
The OnePlus 15 introduces the world’s first 1.5K 165Hz LTPO display, delivering retina-class clarity matched with ultra-smooth motion. Visibility outdoors is enhanced by a peak 1800-nit brightness mode, while the screen can dim down to a single nit for comfortable nighttime use.The panel is certified with TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 5.0, offering adaptive comfort modes for long viewing sessions. Gamers gain added precision with a UAV-grade gyroscope rated at ±4000 DPS, improving aim stability and motion accuracy in fast-paced titles.
Power That Lasts and Charges at Record Speed
A massive 7300mAh Silicon NanoStack Battery powers the device, engineered for longevity even in extreme climates. OnePlus claims that the battery retains over 80% capacity after four years and operates reliably at temperatures as low as -20°C / 4°F.Charging remains a core advantage: 120W SUPERVOOC delivers a full charge in roughly 39 minutes, while 50W AIRVOOC provides rapid wireless charging on the go.
Next-Gen Photography With a Triple 50MP System
On the photography front, the OnePlus 15 debuts a new DetailMax Engine paired with a triple 50MP camera array. The system includes a 50MP OIS main sensor, a 50MP autofocus ultra-wide lens capable of macro capture, and a 50MP periscope telephoto offering 3.5x optical and 7x lossless zoom.Advanced computational features enhance imaging performance, such as Ultra Clear 26MP mode for high-resolution stills, Clear Burst for fast-moving subjects, and a Clear Night Engine for improved low-light clarity. OnePlus states that the device is the only Android smartphone capable of 4K 120fps Dolby Vision recording with LOG capture and real-time LUT previews.
Notably, the Hasselblad collaboration seen in previous models is absent from this generation.
AI-Centric Software Powered by OxygenOS 16
Running OxygenOS 16, the OnePlus 15 introduces an expanded suite of AI tools under the “Plus Mind” banner. A new Plus Key enables users to save any on-screen content to a unified knowledge hub called Mind Space.Google Gemini integration allows the device to deliver contextual results drawn from user-saved information, such as custom travel itineraries. Additional AI features include AI Writer, AI Recorder with speaker identification, and AI Portrait Glow for intelligent image enhancement.
Durability, Design, and Accessories
The OnePlus 15 showcases ultra-slim 1.15mm uniform bezels, a flat frame with softened edges, and a balanced weight profile. Color options include “Infinite Black,” “Sand Storm,” and “Ultra Violet,” the latter featuring a light-reactive dual-texture finish.Durability is a major highlight, with the phone achieving IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings — protection levels rarely combined in a single device, guarding against dust, immersion, and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
Accessories launching alongside the device include magnetic-compatible cases in Sandstone, aramid fiber, and perforated finishes, an AR Anti-Reflective Tempered Glass protector, and a 10,000mAh 22.5W Magnetic Ring Power Bank.
