OnePlus 15 Launch: Price, Specifications, and Features Explained - 2025

OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus 15 in China on October 28, 2025. This time, the brand focused on lasting performance and real-world usability instead of chasing thinner designs. The 7,300 mAh battery immediately stands out, promising two full days of power for heavy users. The India launch is expected on November 13, with pre-orders starting after the official October 29 announcement.

OnePlus 15 Price and Variants

The OnePlus 15 starts at CNY 3,999 (around ₹50,000) in China. Here is the complete pricing list:

• 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage – CNY 3,999 (₹50,000)

• 16 GB RAM + 512 GB storage – CNY 4,899 (₹61,000)

• 16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage – CNY 5,399 (₹67,000)

Indian pricing has not yet been confirmed, but estimates suggest an entry price between ₹65,000 and ₹70,000, consistent with OnePlus’s past flagship launches.

Display and Design

The phone features a 6.78-inch BOE X3 AMOLED display with 1.5 K resolution (1440 × 3168 pixels) and a 165 Hz refresh rate. While most users cannot spot a big difference beyond 120 Hz, the high refresh rate helps in gaming and smooth scrolling. The screen supports 1,800 nits peak brightness, offering excellent visibility even in bright sunlight.

OnePlus has switched to a flat-screen design, removing the curved edges from earlier models. The thin 1.15 mm uniform bezels give it a clean and symmetrical look. The LTPO technology automatically adjusts the refresh rate from 1 Hz to 165 Hz depending on what’s on screen, saving battery when viewing static content.

Performance and Gaming

Powering the OnePlus 15 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, built on a 3 nm process. It features an octa-core CPU clocked up to 4.6 GHz, paired with the Adreno 840 GPU, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.1 storage.

OnePlus also introduced its new G2 gaming network chip and Touch Display Sync technology that reduces touch lag for competitive gaming. The Glacier cooling system, combining aerogel insulation and an ultra-thin vapor chamber, keeps performance stable during extended sessions.

Battery and Charging

The 7,300 mAh battery is the largest ever in a OnePlus flagship and about 40 percent larger than typical 5,000 mAh batteries. Users can expect two to three days of use depending on workload.

Despite the capacity, charging remains fast. The 120 W Super Flash wired charging fills the battery in around 35 minutes, while 50 W wireless charging still outpaces many rivals’ wired options.

Camera Setup

The OnePlus 15 moves away from Hasselblad and adopts Oppo’s Lumo Image Engine. The square rear module includes three 50 MP cameras:

• Main: Sony LYT-700 sensor, f/1.8

• Ultrawide: Samsung GN5 sensor, f/2.0 (16 mm equivalent)

• Telephoto: Samsung GN5 sensor, f/1.8 (85 mm, 3.5× optical zoom)

The equal resolution across all three lenses delivers consistent image quality at different focal lengths. The system supports 8 K video recording at 30 fps. The 32 MP front camera ensures clear selfies and video calls. Early samples shared by reviewers show sharp detail and accurate color reproduction.

Software and Support

In India, the OnePlus 15 ships with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. In China, it runs ColorOS 16. OnePlus promises four major Android updates and five years of security patches, giving software support through 2029.

OxygenOS 16 keeps the interface clean with fewer pre-installed apps, addressing long-time user feedback. More regional features will be revealed during the India launch event.

Colors and Build Options

Buyers can choose from three finishes:

• Absolute Black: Glossy glass back

• Misty Purple: Gradient from purple to black

• Sand Dune: Matte sandstone-like texture

The Sand Dune variant recalls the classic OnePlus 3T sandstone finish and offers better grip than smooth glass panels.

Availability in India

The Indian microsite confirms an event on October 29, 2025, expected to reveal official prices and sale dates. Deliveries are expected to start from November 13, with pre-orders opening immediately after the event.

Who Should Buy the OnePlus 15

The OnePlus 15 is built for:

• Gamers who want sustained performance without overheating.

• Heavy users needing two-day battery life.

• Photography lovers who prefer consistent image quality across lenses.

Those who value long battery life and smooth multitasking will find the OnePlus 15 more practical than rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S25 or iPhone 16, especially at a lower price point.
