OnePlus is set to launch its new flagship smartphone lineup today, October 27, in China. The company will unveil the OnePlus 15 and the OnePlus Ace 6, which are expected to reach international markets under the name OnePlus 15R. While today’s launch is limited to China, reports suggest that the global rollout, including India, will follow in the coming months.
OnePlus 15: What to Expect
The OnePlus 15 will mark a major step forward for the brand’s flagship series. The company recently confirmed that the new device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, which will make it one of the first smartphones to use this chipset. The design sees a departure from the earlier circular camera setup. The OnePlus 15 will feature a square-shaped rear module housing two cameras within a pill-shaped enclosure, with a third lens and flash positioned separately.

The OnePlus 15 will support a 165Hz refresh rate, likely on a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED display with 1.5K resolution.
Furthermore, the battery performance seems to be a major highlight of this year, with a confirmed 7,300mAh battery capacity. The device will support 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Reports also suggest that it will offer configurations of up to 16GB RAM and 1TB internal storage. The global model is expected to launch with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16.
