If you\u2019ve been wondering exactly what the OnePlus 15 might look like, well, wonder no more \u2014 we finally have official renders that show off practically every inch of this device in an all-new shade.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, OnePlus confirmed its next smartphone is headed for a global launch in the coming weeks, and it\u2019ll be featured in a new \u201cSand Storm\u201d edition that the brand refers to as \u201cdune-colored.\u201d The OnePlus 15 will pair its next marquee colorway with \u201caerospace-grade Micro-Arc Oxidation\u201d applied to the aluminum frame and camera module. That\u2019s all paired with a new ceramic coating that is apparently tougher than both aluminum and titanium, and a fiberglass back panel.<\/p>\n<p>It looks pretty nice, as far as off-white smartphones are concerned, and I\u2019m pretty excited to get my hands on one post-launch just to see how excellent it actually feels in the hand. OnePlus China teased a few additional details on its <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/status\/5216152810162020\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Weibo account<\/a> as well (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/787104\/oneplus-15-sand-storm-design-photos-colors-ceramic-fiberglass\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Verge<\/a>), including 1.15mm bezels surrounding the display and an \u201cultra-comfortable grip,\u201d presumably due, in large part, to its redesigned chassis. OnePlus China also put out additional renders of the device from all sorts of angles, and you can check those out below.<\/p>\n<p>OnePlus is announcing these new protective materials right as another aluminum-based flagship is having durability concerns of its own. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/09\/24\/apple-responds-to-iphone-17-pro-scratch-and-durability-concerns\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple has faced some criticism<\/a> over the past couple of weeks towards damage that early iPhone 17 Pro adopters are seeing around the camera plateau, something OnePlus clearly hopes to avoid with its next phone. Whether this holds up to regular use, of course, all depends on how the device ages once it\u2019s in the hands of actual users.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>While we still don\u2019t know exactly when the OnePlus 15 is set for its grand debut, it does seem like we\u2019re due for an earlier launch than usual. OnePlus has already confirmed its using Qualcomm\u2019s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 alongside its plans for a global rollout. While the company usually brings its phones to North America in January, don\u2019t be surprised if you can find this device sitting on store shelves just in time for the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>More on OnePlus:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758668769_557_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758668769_871_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OnePlus started delivering official details about its next smartphone last week, but we had yet to see a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191099,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-191098","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191098\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191099"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
