The upcoming flagship will pack a huge 7,300mAh battery, just as earlier leaks hinted. That’s a massive step up from the 6,000mAh cell inside the current OnePlus 13. And it doesn’t stop there – charging is getting a serious boost too.
OnePlus confirmed 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, so topping up that huge battery won’t take long. Just keep in mind that to hit those blazing speeds, you’ll need to use OnePlus’ own charger and cable – third-party ones will work, but at slower rates.
Then again, even the “slower” speeds here will still be faster than what you’ll get from Samsung or Apple’s flagships.
OnePlus 15 isn’t just about the battery upgrade
There’s more to this phone than its monster battery. OnePlus 15 is bringing a full redesign, ditching the circular camera island we’ve seen for years. We’ve already caught glimpses of the new look – and it’s coming in multiple color options, too.

Under the hood, it’ll be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with 12 GB of RAM, according to a fresh Geekbench listing for the global variant. It’ll also ship with Android 16 right out of the box.

The display is also getting a few changes. Expect a smoother 165Hz refresh rate, but resolution might take a slight hit – reportedly 1.5K instead of the 2K panel on the OnePlus 13. On the camera side, OnePlus hasn’t teased anything official yet, but rumors point to a triple 50 MP setup on the back.

This could be the phone to beat in 2025
In my opinion, the OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be a real step up from the current generation – inside and out. Now that we know it’s packing a 7,300mAh battery, it’s looking even more appealing. Very few flagships come close to that capacity.
Sure, raw size isn’t everything – software optimization plays a huge role too – but still, the OnePlus 15 will likely be a battery champ when it finally drops.
