This will be a year with major changes for OnePlus – a few months ago, we heard that it will completely rework the design of its upcoming flagship dubbed the OnePlus 15. Now, we have our first look at the new design, courtesy of one Weibo poster.
Gone is the circular camera island that had been a key component of the high-end OnePlus models. Now there’s a square with rounded off corners and painted in black – it holds three cameras, a pair and one on its own.
We don’t see the flip side, but it will allegedly have a flat 6.78” 1.5K” display with a higher 165Hz refresh rate. By the way, we heard that the phone will come in three colors: Dune, Absolute Black and Mist Purple.
OnePlus 15 (leaked image): Absolute Black, Mist Purple and Dune
Dune, that should be the one on the right, would be the hero color – the color you see in most of the marketing. Absolute Black (left) will be interesting as it will be the blackest black paint on a smartphone – as such, we imagine that the photo doesn’t do it justice. Finally, there’s the Mist Purple in the middle.
The OnePlus 15 (the company is skipping anything with the digit “4”, per tradition) will be unveiled soon – likely in October – and it will be joined by the Ace 6. The flagship model will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and will introduce an in-house image engine after OnePlus and Hasselblad ended their partnership. It should have 120W wired and 50W wireless for its 7,000mAh battery.
