Due to the longest U.S. government shutdown in history, the OnePlus 15 wasn\u2019t able to receive Federal Communications Commission (FCC) clearance until now.<\/p>\n<p>The flagship phone launched in China<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/phones\/oneplus-phones\/oneplus-15-just-launched-in-china-heres-why-i-cant-wait-for-it-to-go-global\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/phones\/oneplus-phones\/oneplus-15-just-launched-in-china-heres-why-i-cant-wait-for-it-to-go-global\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> at the end of October<\/a>, and normally, a U.S. version would have launched a month later.

Without the approval, OnePlus couldn\u2019t sell the 15 here. Thus, the phone didn\u2019t have a firm release date even as the US version was announced in early November.<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-013390b7-c9f7-422f-9096-2961fea065e4\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>Price and release date<\/p>\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pTZrkyGvixybj5VpqPwLgJ.jpg\" alt=\"OnePlus 15 review.\"   loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pTZrkyGvixybj5VpqPwLgJ.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pTZrkyGvixybj5VpqPwLgJ.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p>(Image credit: Tom&#8217;s Guide \/ John Velasco)<\/p>\n<p id=\"0725b756-cb94-41a4-9c17-6681ed504a48\">Eventually, you\u2019ll be able to purchase the OnePlus 15 at <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/tag\/amazon\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/tag\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> or <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/tag\/best-buy\" data-auto-tag-linker=\"true\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/tag\/best-buy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Best Buy<\/a>, but the first pre-orders are only available at t<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onepluscom.pxf.io\/c\/221109\/916678\/12532?subId1=tomsguide-us-1139138355160170278&amp;sharedId=tomsguide-us&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oneplus.com%2Fus%2Foneplus-15%3Ffrom%3Dribbon\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.oneplus.com\/us\/oneplus-15?from=ribbon\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" rel=\"sponsored noopener nofollow\" data-hl-processed=\"hawklinks\" data-google-interstitial=\"false\" data-placeholder-url=\"https:\/\/onepluscom.pxf.io\/c\/221109\/916678\/12532?subId1=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;sharedId=hawk-prefix&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oneplus.com%2Fus%2Foneplus-15%3Ffrom%3Dribbon\" data-merchant-name=\"OnePlus\" data-merchant-id=\"187717\" data-merchant-network=\"ImpactRad\" data-merchant-url=\"oneplus.com\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\">he OnePlus website right now<\/a>.
