The OnePlus 15 may look and feel quite different from its predecessor, the OnePlus 13. A new report from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims to have gone hands-on with the upcoming flagship, points to some notable changes in both design and materials.

According to the leaker’s post on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will feature a flat display with rounded corners and is described as “much smaller” than the 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max. Previous leaks suggested a 6.78-inch screen, slightly more compact than the 6.82-inch panel on the OnePlus 13 (review).

Interestingly, the middle frame is said to use a special coating that’s “four times harder than titanium.” It reportedly comes in a matte, earthy tone inspired by Dune, moving away from the glossy finish of the OnePlus 13.

The biggest uncertainty surrounds the camera housing. Early rumors hinted at a square module — a shift from the round layout of the OnePlus 13 — but Digital Chat Station now suggests those renders were inaccurate. The actual design remains under wraps, leaving fans waiting for OnePlus to confirm the details.

Under the hood, things appear clearer. The OnePlus 15 is expected to run on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Benchmark listings spotted earlier indicate about a 20% boost in CPU performance compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the OnePlus 13, promising smoother multitasking, gaming, and AI-powered features.

OnePlus is set to unveil the phone in October 2025. If these leaks prove accurate, the company’s next flagship could deliver a refreshed design alongside a major performance upgrade — though the final word will only come once OnePlus makes it official.
