OnePlus is preparing to roll out its next flagship, the OnePlus 15, and early leaks suggest the company has something big lined up for display tech. The phone is expected to launch in China this October, with a new budget-friendly Ace 6 also on the way — and possibly even a new “Turbo” lineup.
According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will be the first to use BOE’s latest Oriental X3 panel. If that sounds familiar, it’s because last year’s OnePlus 13 debuted with the X2 screen, which went on to snag DisplayMate’s top A++ rating. The X3 is said to push things even further, and BOE is reportedly planning to make the display official before the phone’s launch, much like it did ahead of the OnePlus 13 reveal.
According to previous leaks, the OnePlus 15 will feature a 6.78-inch display with a super-smooth 165Hz refresh rate — faster than the 120Hz panel on the OnePlus 13. However, the resolution is said to drop from 2K to 1.5K this year.
Under the hood, the phone is tipped to run Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip and pack a huge 7,000mAh battery with 120W wired charging. Design tweaks are also said to be in store, giving the device a new look compared to its predecessors.
Global pricing and availability are still a question mark, but for context, the OnePlus 13 is currently selling for around $873 on Amazon. If history is any guide, the 15 shouldn’t stray too far from that ballpark.
With a next-gen BOE screen, upgraded hardware, and a massive battery, the OnePlus 15 looks like it could be one of the most exciting Android flagships this year. All eyes are now on October for the official reveal.
