According to recent rumors, the OnePlus 15 will move away from the circular camera housing seen on the OnePlus 13 (read our review here). Instead, its design may resemble the style introduced with the OnePlus 13T, giving the phone a more modern and streamlined appearance. Industry insider Digital Chat Station claims OnePlus has paid particular attention to finishes and materials this time, with a special focus on colors.
Among the most intriguing prototypes is a finish described as an “absolute black,” designed to absorb light in a way that recalls the depths of a black hole. If true, this would be a bold move that positions the OnePlus 15 not just as a performance-driven device, but also as a statement piece in terms of aesthetics.
Launch Timeline
The same source suggests the OnePlus 15 will debut in China in October. If OnePlus follows its usual schedule, a global rollout could be expected a few months later. For reference, the OnePlus 13 reached international markets in January.
Rumored Specifications
On the technical front, the OnePlus 15 is expected to feature a flat 6.78-inch LIPO display with 1.5K resolution, boasting thin, symmetrical bezels for a premium look. Power will likely come from Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, paired with a hefty 7,000 mAh battery—a significant step up in capacity compared to its predecessor.
Perhaps the most surprising detail concerns the camera system: reports suggest this generation will mark the end of OnePlus’s partnership with Hasselblad, a collaboration that had become one of the brand’s signature features in recent years.
