In the past, OnePlus skipped the OnePlus 4 moniker and directly jumped from the OnePlus 3 series to the OnePlus 5 series. It was skipped because the number 4 is considered a bad omen in some Asian countries. Therefore, last year’s OnePlus 13 is expected to be replaced by the OnePlus 15 this year. Rumors have already started leaking key details of the OP15, with a recent report claiming that a major change could be the inclusion of a flat display that supports a 1.5K resolution. Now, in a new Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed key specifications of the OP15.
OnePlus 15 battery size, charging details tipped
According to Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 15 prototype is built around the SM8850 chip (Snapdragon 8 Elite 2: tentative name) and is positioned as a performance-centric flagship. Describing it as a performance-driven offering suggests that the primary focus will be on processing power and efficiency, which could mean the camera setup remains similar to the previous generation.
One of the standout design elements is a flat, large-size display with extremely slim bezels made possible by LIPO packaging technology. The front layout is said to achieve a neat and symmetrical appearance with this approach.
The device is expected to house a battery that starts with a “7”, suggesting a capacity in the 7,000mAh range. It could support 100W wired as well as wireless charging. Despite the larger battery and high-end components, the brand is said to be working on keeping the chassis slim and relatively lightweight.
DCS added that the device will also include a 0916 vibration motor for haptics, a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and a fiberglass rear panel. In terms of durability, the OP15 will offer an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.
The same source mentioned in a previous leak that the OnePlus 15 could feature a flat 6.78-inch LTPO panel with a 1.5K resolution — a major shift from the curved-edge 2K displays the brand has used since the OnePlus 7 Pro.
The OnePlus 15 is currently undergoing A/B testing for a triple 50-megapixel camera setup. The configuration includes a main sensor (with two versions being tested: standard and ultra-large), an ultra-wide lens, and a periscope telephoto camera with approximately 3x zoom. Periscope options being explored include both small and medium sensor types.
A China launch is likely in October 2025, with a global debut expected by January 2026.
