OnePlus is gearing up for major changes this year with the launch of its flagship OnePlus 15, skipping the number “4” as per tradition. The first leaked image reveals a completely redesigned camera module. The familiar circular camera island is replaced by a black, rounded-square layout housing three cameras, with two grouped together and one positioned separately.
The device is expected to feature a flat 6.78-inch 1.5K display with a 165Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals for gaming and media consumption. OnePlus 15 will be available in three colorways: Dune, Absolute Black, and Mist Purple. Dune is expected to be the primary marketing color, while Absolute Black promises an ultra-deep black finish. Mist Purple offers a unique, vibrant option for users who want something different.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the OnePlus 15 will introduce an in-house image engine after ending its partnership with Hasselblad. Battery support includes 120W wired and 50W wireless charging for its 7,000mAh battery, making it a power-packed flagship for enthusiasts.
