OnePlus is building momentum for its next flagship, and the latest teasers give a closer look at both the design and a possible launch date. Shared on Weibo, the images show the OnePlus 15 with slimmer bezels, a flat display, and a new square-shaped camera module. Interestingly, one image shows the lock screen set to October 27 — which lines up with reports pointing to a late-October launch in China, followed by a global rollout in November.
The phone is expected to feature a 6.78-inch BOE X3 Oriental AMOLED panel with 1.15mm uniform bezels, making it even narrower than the Xiaomi 17’s 1.18mm frame. It supports 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, marking a step up from the 120Hz screen on the OnePlus 13. Under the hood, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 is confirmed, offering a 20% boost in CPU performance and a 23% uplift in graphics. OnePlus’s gaming optimizations should enable supported titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Delta Force to run at 165fps.
On the design front, OnePlus is using a new aerospace-grade nano-ceramic metal mid-frame, which it claims is stronger than aluminum yet lighter than titanium. The company also touts improved heat dissipation and a more durable finish that resists corrosion. A “Quenching Texture” and “Ice Skin” finish debut in the new Sand Dune color option, while the camera module has been simplified into a square housing for a triple-lens setup that could include a 50MP periscope telephoto.
Rounding out the package, leaks suggest a 7,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging. Pricing in China may start at CNY 3,999 (~$560), which is lower than the OnePlus 13 at launch. If true, the OnePlus 15 could offer a rare mix of flagship performance and aggressive pricing when it launches next month.
