The next gen OnePlus flagship is right around the corner, bringing cutting edge specs and the latest OxygenOS 16. While a price hike isn’t uncommon in annual high end devices, a fresh rumor hints at the OnePlus 15 being more affordable than last year’s OnePlus 13 once again.
OnePlus 15 Price Leak: Flagship Performance at Lower Cost?
Over the last couple of weeks, multiple reports claimed that the OnePlus 15 will have a slightly cheaper price tag than its predecessor. Now, known tipster Arsène Lupin has revealed this pricing detail for the UK market. In our previous report, OnePlus was expected to launch the OnePlus 15 for around 3,999 Yuan (roughly 560 US Dollars). This would make it around 500 Yuan/70 US Dollars more affordable than the OnePlus 13, with Lupin’s tweet also hinting at a similar story for the overseas market.
The OnePlus 15 with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage will reportedly launch in the UK for 949 Pounds Sterling. In comparison, the same storage configuration for the OnePlus 13 costs 999 Pounds sterling, which roughly brings a 67 US Dollar difference. Unfortunately, the tipster did not reveal the pricing details for the entry level 256GB model. But this modest price cut should help make it more attractive in markets outside of China as well.
OnePlus’ decision to make its flagships more affordable and target gaming is apparently inspired by the success of the iQOO 13 in China. Packing the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, it will be a powerhouse for everyday and intense gaming. Apart from downgrading the resolution from a 2K panel to a 1.5K display, the camera system is also bringing in the in house DetailMax Engine, which replaces Hasselblad’s tuning. All of this likely allowed OnePlus to achieve a lower price tag.
