OnePlus 15's SuperBlack could be the blackest black color we've seen on a phone
TL;DR The upcoming OnePlus 15 may feature a brand new design, including a 'black hole'-inspired aesthetic featuring the SuperBlack color and a new camera island design.
The phone is rumored to come with a 6.78-inch flat LIPO display with a 1.5K resolution and symmetrically thin bezels.
Other leaks suggest the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP triple camera, and a 7,000mAh battery.
Once the Pixel 10 series launches, we're practically done with this generation of top-tier Android phones, and the OnePlus 13 manages to stay near the top despite launching early in the year (late 2024, if you count the China launch). The next flagship from the company will likely be called the OnePlus 15 and not the OnePlus 14 (as Chinese culture regards the number '4' as unlucky). We've heard a few things about the phone already, and now, new leaks suggest that OnePlus could focus on upgrading the phone's look with a SuperBlack color.
Noted leaker Digital Chat Station shared on Weibo that the OnePlus 15's highlights are expected to be its rear camera design and body design. According to the leaker, the OnePlus 15 is expected to come with a 6.78-inch flat LIPO display with equal bezels. The company will also focus on the phone's CMF, and the engineering prototypes so far have used new materials. However, it remains to be seen which CMF prototype actually graduates into the final retail phone.
Comments from other Weibo users under the main post suggest that the OnePlus 15 will sport BOE's currently-unreleased X3 display technology, which would be an upgrade from BOE's X2 display found on the OnePlus 13. However, this claim does not come from Digital Chat Station, so we're not betting on it.
Separately, leaker Smart Pikachu on Weibo mentions that the OnePlus 15 could feature a 1.5K resolution flat screen. The Plus Key is also said to have been upgraded, though the leaker doesn't share how it has been upgraded. The screen quality is said to be excellent, especially with regard to brightness and 'detail,' with the reduced power consumption being the cherry on top.
The leaker also comments on the OnePlus 15's body, once again mentioning the 'black hole'-inspired aesthetic. A previous leak from Digital Chat Station referred to this CMF option as a 'SuperBlack' color option with a very high light absorption rate.
Other leaks in the past have suggested that the OnePlus 15 will come with the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset, a 50MP triple camera setup with a large sensor primary camera and a periscope zoom camera, and a 7,000mAh battery in China at least (though you can expect slightly smaller batteries in other regions to comply with international shipping regulations).
The OnePlus 15 is widely expected to launch in China in Q4 2025, and we expect a global release in late Q4 2025 or sometime in Q1 2026, following previous launch schedules.

The race for sovereign AI is intensifying. Here's what you need to know
-- The race for 'sovereign AI' is accelerating as nations seek to control artificial intelligence capabilities across data, infrastructure and algorithms, Jefferies said in a note Friday. 'Sovereign AI refers to a nation's ability to independently develop, deploy, and govern AI technologies,' the firm explained, emphasising that the model 'ensures strategic control over AI capabilities' without necessarily requiring full government ownership. The U.S. model blends public-private partnerships with export controls, such as a recent NVIDIA deal directing 15% of its China-bound chip sales to the federal government. Jefferies told investors that competition is intensifying among major powers. 'China has narrowed its gap with the U.S. to 12 months,' aided by civil-military integration and partnerships with companies like Alibaba and Huawei, according to Jefferies. The EU's GAIA-X project aims to reduce reliance on U.S. hyperscalers, but 'fragmented regulations' and slower innovation remain hurdles, wrote the analysts. Middle powers are said to be emerging as 'strategic players.' Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN initiative features the launch of ALLAM, an Arabic-language generative AI model, alongside plans to train one million citizens in AI. The UAE is focusing on domestic data centers and infrastructure, with both targeting AI independence by 2030–2035. Jefferies said sovereign AI offers benefits including stronger national security, economic growth, and innovation. Risks include 'high infrastructure costs, fragmented innovation,' data bias from localized datasets, and limited talent diversity. While the UN could help set global norms on privacy, ethics, and explainability, Jefferies expects 'fragmentation is likely to persist' given geopolitical competition and divergent regulations.

Ultrahuman Calls Ring Air the World's Most Accurate Ovulation-Tracking Smart Ring After New Acquisition
Ultrahuman has taken an algorithm designed for intravaginal fertility monitors and transformed it into a non-invasive, temperature-sensing feature that can track your cycle right from your finger. The wearable health tech company announced today that it acquired viO HealthTech, which created the OvuSense algorithm. Validated in 13 peer-reviewed clinical publications and backed by 15 years of clinical research, the algorithm draws on data from over 260,000 cycles collected with medical-grade sensors. It was previously used in class II intravaginal medical fertility monitors. Now, Ultrahuman has adapted that technology for wellness tracking to create its Cycle and Ovulation Pro PowerPlug for the Ring Air. In a press release, Ultrahuman said Cycle and Ovulation Pro delivers over 90% accuracy in confirming ovulation -- a level the company says makes the Air the "world's most accurate cycle-tracking smart ring." This data comes from equivalence testing that compared OvuSense and Ring AIR with a multi-hormone ovulation prediction method that tracks rises in luteinizing hormone and progesterone. Though other cycle trackers may report different ovulation confirmation rates -- for example, the Oura Ring claims 96.4% -- that data isn't directly comparable to OvuSense and Ring Air's testing due to differences in validation protocols, datasets and definitions of detection. Ultrahuman Most platforms that track menstrual cycles rely on a 28-day cycle, but Cycle and Ovulation Pro takes into consideration that 87% of people who menstruate have varying cycles due to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, non-bleeding, thyroid disorders or irregular bleeding. "This collaboration benefits from 15 years of clinically proven women's health expertise and applies it to the world's lightest smart ring," said Mohit Kumar, Ultrahuman CEO, in the press release. "For the first time, best-in-class hardware, software and algorithms with a clinical background come together in one wellness device. Our mission is to give women cutting-edge tools to optimize their health, combining clinical technology with comfort and style to deliver the most accurate women's health tool available." Cycle and Ovulation Pro complements Ultrahuman Ring Air's existing free Cycle and Ovulation PowerPlug, which provides basic conception and cycle tracking. Using physiological patterns and temperature biomarkers passively captured by the smart ring, the Pro version can support fertility planning, offer a space for mood, symptom and behavior logging and use temperature data to suggest hidden patterns in a cycle. Known as Cycle Flags, these patterns may include early, late or absent ovulation, a short luteal phase and trends potentially linked to conditions such as PCOS or miscarriage risk. Ultrahuman While the OvuSense algorithm is FDA-cleared for intravaginal use, the adapted, non-invasive version for the Ultrahuman Ring Air was created for general wellness and isn't FDA-cleared. In other words, the Ring Air isn't a substitute for contraception or for professional medical diagnosis and treatment. For those, you should consult your health care provider. How much does Ultrahuman's Cycle and Ovulation Pro cost? Now available in the US, UK, EU, Australia and Canada, Cycle and Ovulation Pro is a premium PowerPlug in the Ultrahuman app that costs $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year. The current Cycle and Ovulation PowerPlug remains free.
