\* expected dates

Release dates have varied over time.

**OnePlus 15: Expected Release**

While there is no firm date, rumors suggest an October announcement. With September ending, the OnePlus 15 may arrive in a few weeks.

Historically, OnePlus unveils its phones in China before releasing them internationally.

**Earlier Release Possible?**

OnePlus previously launched phones in January, challenging Samsung's Galaxy S series, as seen with the OnePlus 10 Pro and 11.

The OnePlus 12 debuted earlier on December 4, 2023, in China. The OnePlus 13, the current flagship, was unveiled on October 31, 2024.

Following this pattern, the OnePlus 15 might be released between October 20 and October 30.

**Why No OnePlus 14?**

The OnePlus 14 is skipped due to the Chinese association of the number "four" with death. Many Chinese companies avoid the number in product names. OnePlus follows this custom, jumping from the OnePlus 13 to 15.

There was also no fourth-generation Snapdragon 8 chipset:

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

Snapdragon 8 Elite

Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

This is common in China.

**OnePlus 15: Rumored Specs**

The OnePlus 15 is expected to have enhanced performance and display. Leaks indicate a 6.78-inch BOE X3 LIPO Ultra-Narrow 2.5D display with 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Pro XDR.

The display may feature a 1–165Hz adaptive refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and 1800 nits peak brightness. It is expected to use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, LPDDR5X RAM, UFS 4.1 storage, and an improved cooling system.

Reports suggest a 7300mAh battery with 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, designed for 1,600 cycles. The camera may include a wide-angle sensor with OIS, an ultra-wide lens, and a 3.5x telephoto lens. Other rumors mention IP69 water resistance, dual speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint scanning, and up to 1TB storage.
