OnePlus 15 rumour roundup: India launch, price, specs and more to expect

OnePlus has recently confirmed the launch of the OnePlus 13s in India. But we are here to talk about the next flagship phone by the company -- the OnePlus 15. Yes, you read it right. Apparently, there is no OnePlus 14, and the company is jumping onto the next numerical digit. The upcoming OnePlus 15 is already generating buzz months ahead of its expected debut. In India, the flagship is expected to follow the steps of its predecessor, OnePlus 13, and may launch in January 2026. However, the Chinese variant is most likely to launch a few days ahead. While the company is yet to announce its next flagship, the rumours and leaks paint a decent picture of what is coming with the OnePlus 15. Let's take a look. advertisementOnePlus 15: Specs and features leakDisplay: One of the most notable changes, according to renowned tipster Digital Chat Station, is the shift to a flat display — a departure from the curved screens used in recent OnePlus flagships. This 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel is expected to feature a 1.5K resolution, slightly lower than the 2K (QHD+) screen found on the OnePlus 13. However, the new design will reportedly feature ultraslim and symmetrical bezels, akin to the sleek edges seen on modern While design specifics remain under wraps, early rumours point to a slim and minimalist build. If OnePlus continues to trim thickness from its devices — the OnePlus 13 was 8.5mm thick — the 15 might be even thinner, possibly without sacrificing battery size. Processor: Powering the device could be Qualcomm's rumoured Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, identified internally as the SM8850. Benchmarks indicate impressive performance, with the chip scoring 3.8 million on AnTuTu and delivering a 25 per cent improvement in Geekbench 6 compared to its predecessor. It's also said to be built on TSMC's 3nm (N3P) process, promising better efficiency and power. Given that the OnePlus 13 offered configurations of up to 24GB RAM and 1TB of storage, similar or even higher specs are When it comes to cameras, details are still murky. Digital Chat Station claims the OnePlus 15 will house a triple-lens rear system, including a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. However, another reliable leaker, Smart Pikachu, has suggested the periscope lens could in fact be a 200-megapixel sensor. If true, this would mark a massive leap in zoom and imaging capabilities for 15: Price expectationsThe OnePlus 13 was launched at Rs 69,999 for a vanilla variant. Even though the OnePlus 15 may bring several upgrades, we may not see a huge jump in the pricing. While nothing is confirmed so far, the speculation is that the OnePlus 15 price could start at Rs 80,000. Although a launch in October in China seems likely — following OnePlus' usual release cycle — we're still about five months away from the official unveiling. That leaves plenty of room for changes in hardware and features before the final model is always with pre-release leaks, it's wise to view this information with caution. More concrete details are expected in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates as more credible information surfaces about the OnePlus 15.

OnePlus 15 rumours start coming in, here is everything we know about next OnePlus flagship

The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch this fall with a host of exciting upgrades. Before you raise eyebrows — where's the OnePlus 14? Well, there may not be one because '4' is mostly considered inauspicious in some Asian cultures. Which is why the successor to the OnePlus 13 may very well be the OnePlus 15. At this point, it's only been mere months since the launch of the OnePlus 13 in India. However, looking from the Chinese launch perspective, the phone was unveiled in October 2024, and considering the tech giant intends to launch the OnePlus 15 around October this year, we are now less than five months said that, you may think — the OnePlus 13 is already a pretty much complete smartphone. What better can they do with the OnePlus 15? Well, 'new year, new upgrade' is the name of the game, and according to the latest leaks, the next-generation flagship is shaping up to be very to Digital Chat Station, the biggest change that will come to the OnePlus 15 is a flat display. I don't know about you, but personally, I am someone who is a fan of pure flat displays — not just for their aesthetics, but also for practical reasons. The display is tipped to be a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. The resolution is a bit of a downgrade, considering the OnePlus 13 comes with a 2K (QHD+) display. On the bright side, the bezels are expected to be ultraslim and symmetrical, much like we've come to see on iPhones. Source: Digital Chat Station advertisement Another big detail is the presence of the SM8850 chipset under the hood, which is heavily rumoured to be the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. In a recent leak, the chipset had an AnTuTu score of 3.8 million and showed a 25 per cent jump in Geekbench 6 testing. The chipset is rumoured to be fabricated on TSMC's 3nm (N3P) process node. Considering the OnePlus 13 comes with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB storage, the newer model could also likely come in a similar range of terms of camera, the tipster suggests the OnePlus 15 will feature a triple-rear camera system, including a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens. However, another tipster, Smart Pikachu, has noted in a separate leak that the phone will instead have a 200-megapixel periscope there's no clear mention of the design, although the leak does say that the phone is going to feature a simple and thin design. By simple, it could signify the phone having a flat display and not a curved or a quad-curved one. As for being slim, the OnePlus 13 comes with a thickness of 8.5mm. Can we expect the OnePlus 15 to be even slimmer while packing a larger battery? Only time will said all of this, we'd suggest you take each and every detail in this article with a healthy grain of salt. Despite the chances of the OnePlus 15 launching in China by October (given OnePlus follows the same launch pattern as the 13), do keep in mind that we are still about five months away from the unveiling. There's a good chance a lot could change by we move forward, more information about the OnePlus 15 will keep pouring in. Stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest.
