OnePlus has officially confirmed most of the rumors about its upcoming flagship. During Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in China, the company showed the OnePlus 15 and talked about some of its specs.
OnePlus 15 will be the first smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
OnePlus revealed some key details about its upcoming flagship smartphone at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit in China. The phone will be called OnePlus 15, and the company claims (source) it’ll be the first device with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
During the showcase at Qualcomm’s event, Li Jie, president of OnePlus China, showed (source in Chinese) a black OnePlus 15. That confirmed the earlier claims that the phone will have a design more similar to the OnePlus 13T than its direct predecessor, the OnePlus 13.

The company has also confirmed the OnePlus 15 will feature a 165Hz display, though it hasn’t mentioned anything about its size or resolution. Earlier rumors suggested that the device would feature a 6.78-inch 1.5K display, which would be a step down from the 2K panel on the OnePlus 13.
After the presentation, Li Jie shared (source in Chinese) an image of the front of the device, emphasizing it won’t have a chin. According to his post, the bezels of the device will be 1.15mm thick all around.
How does the OnePlus 15 sound to you so far?
It’s very exciting, I can’t wait for it

It sounds good, but we need to wait

It sounds bad to me

We’ll need to wait a little longer to see if the rest of the OnePlus 15 rumors are also correct. Probably the most intriguing detail is the rumored 7,000 mAh battery with 120W wired charging, which would trump the rumored capacity on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
So far, so good
All the details about the OnePlus 15 sound fantastic, but I’ll need an official announcement and some hands-on time before getting properly excited. Even if the hype turns out to be too much, I believe this will be one of the formidable flagship challengers in the coming months, so it’s worth keeping an eye on it.
