OnePlus is gearing up to unveil the OnePlus 15 in India on November 13, 2025, at 7 PM IST, marking a significant milestone as the country’s first smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The device will go on sale the same day at 8 PM, offering Indian consumers immediate access to OnePlus’s latest flagship innovation.
Revolutionary Performance Architecture
The OnePlus 15 introduces a groundbreaking triplechip architecture designed to deliver unprecedented speed and smoothness. At its core sits the cuttingedge 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra+ RAM reaching speeds of 10,667Mbps in the 16GB variant. This combination ensures stutterfree performance during intensive gaming sessions and seamless multitasking across demanding applications.
The device runs on OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16, making it the first OnePlus phone to feature this latest operating system. OxygenOS 16 brings enhanced AIdriven experiences, including Google Gemini integration with Mind Space—an intelligent digital memory hub that captures, organizes, and searches content saved from your screen. New AI productivity tools include AI Writer for creating mind maps and social media captions, AI Scan for document conversion, and AI Portrait Glow for enhanced selfies.
IndustryFirst Display Technology
OnePlus has equipped the flagship with a 6.78inch LTPO AMOLED display featuring an industryfirst combination of 1.5K resolution and 165Hz refresh rate. This represents a significant upgrade from the standard 120Hz panels found on most highend smartphones, delivering exceptional fluidity and retinalevel clarity.
The display achieves peak brightness of 1,800 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM) for clear visibility under direct sunlight, while offering an ultralow minimum brightness of just 1 nit for comfortable nighttime viewing. OnePlus has collaborated directly with game developers to enable native 165fps support in popular titles including Call of Duty: Mobile, Brawl Stars, and Clash of Clans. A dedicated touch response chip supports an impressive 3,200Hz touch sampling rate, minimizing input latency for responsive gaming.
The display has earned TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 5.0 certification, featuring an Eye Comfort Reminder and Eye Comfort Mode in gaming that dynamically adjusts color saturation to reduce eye strain during extended viewing sessions.
Advanced Thermal Management
To sustain peak performance, the OnePlus 15 features a sophisticated 360degree CryoVelocity Cooling System. This trilayer cooling solution includes:
A massive 5,731mm² 3D vapor chamber that pulls heat directly from the CPU and GPU
An aerospacegrade aerogel insulation layer minimizing heat transfer to the phone’s exterior
A white graphite backplate ensuring uniform thermal distribution for comfortable handling
Additionally, Bypass Charging mode allows power to flow directly from the charger to the device’s components during gaming sessions, circumventing the battery entirely to eliminate excess heat and preserve battery longevity.
Massive Battery with UltraFast Charging
The OnePlus 15 boasts the largest battery ever featured in a OnePlus smartphone—a 7,300mAh Silicon NanoStack battery with 15% highsilicon content for exceptional energy density. This represents a 4045% capacity advantage over competitors like the iPhone 17 Pro Max (5,088mAh), Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (5,000mAh), and Google Pixel 10 Pro (4,870mAh).
OnePlus claims the battery can retain over 80% of its original capacity after four years of use and operate reliably in temperatures as low as 20°C. The device supports 120W SUPERVOOC wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging, enabling rapid powerups throughout the day. According to OnePlus, a fiveminute quick charge provides up to six hours of video playback, while the phone supports approximately 15 hours of continuous video playback on a single charge.
DetailMax Engine Camera System
Marking a significant shift in OnePlus’s imaging strategy, the company has ended its partnership with Hasselblad and introduced the inhouse DetailMax Engine for computational photography. This proprietary imaging platform focuses on delivering “clear and real” images with enhanced clarity, micro contrast, and truetolife colors without excessive beautification.
The OnePlus 15 features a triple 50MP rear camera configuration:
50MP main sensor: Sony LYT808 (1/1.56inch) with f/1.8 aperture and OIS
50MP ultrawide: 116degree field of view with f/2.0 aperture for improved sharpness and color consistency
50MP periscope telephoto: 3.5x optical zoom (85mm focal length) with OIS for enhanced portrait depth
The camera system supports impressive video capabilities including 8K recording at 30fps, 4K at 30/60/120fps, and 1080p at up to 240fps. Features like gyroEIS, Auto HDR, Dolby Vision, and LUT preview enable professionalgrade video production. The frontfacing 32MP camera features a larger 1/2.74inch sensor with autofocus and supports 4K at 60fps recording with enhanced HDR processing.
OxygenOS 16 enhances the camera experience with AIpowered editing tools including Detail Boost for enhanced textures, Unblur to reduce motion blur in lowlight shots, and Reflection Eraser for automatic glare removal.
Extreme Durability Protection
The OnePlus 15 sets new standards for smartphone durability with comprehensive protection ratings: IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K. The IP69K certification is particularly noteworthy, as it provides resistance to highpressure, hightemperature water jets—a level of protection that goes beyond typical flagship smartphones. This ensures the device can withstand dust, water immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes, and extreme conditions.
Color Options and Design
The OnePlus 15 will be available in three sophisticated colorways in India:
Infinite Black: Features a premium frosted glass back
Sand Storm: Sports a fibreglass composite rear panel
Ultra Violet: Showcases a duallayer optical coating that shifts from violet to sapphire under different lighting conditions
Storage Variants and Pricing
The OnePlus 15 launched in China with five storage configurations:
- 12GB RAM + 256GB storage: CNY 3,999 (approximately ₹50,000)
- 16GB RAM + 256GB storage: CNY 4,299 (approximately ₹53,500)
