The new images show the OnePlus 15 has a different design than the OnePlus 13, as the company apparently skipped "14." The biggest change is the rectangular rear camera island, similar to recent OnePlus models such as the OnePlus 13T.
So far, OnePlus has only displayed the Sand Storm version, but Purple, Black, and Titanium are also expected. The complete list of colors available at launch has not yet been formally announced.
Launch time frame: earlier than normal
OnePlus teasers often indicate an upcoming launch. The China launch is expected on October 27, based on previous leaks, but has yet to be verified.
The global launch may occur on November 13, which is sooner than usual for OnePlus. The OnePlus 13, for example, launched in China in October 2024 but did not go global until January 2025, just before Samsung's Galaxy S25 series.
OnePlus is apparently altering its strategy this time. The company appears to be placing the OnePlus 15 between the iPhone 17 series and the Galaxy S26, rather than competing directly with Samsung. This would allow OnePlus to attract customers shopping between those two major releases.
Other stories to check out.
More than just appearance
The OnePlus 15 is expected to be a significant upgrade over the OnePlus 13. It is rumored to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and have at least 12 GB of RAM. Leaks suggest a 7,300mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging should significantly improve battery life.
A triple 50 MP camera configuration is expected on the back. The display may also be slightly improved, with a 6.78-inch panel and a refresh rate of 165Hz for smooth scrolling and gaming.
