OnePlus has now officially announced the global launch date of its next-generation flagship, the OnePlus 15. The phone will be launched globally on November 13, 2025, after its initial release in China on October 27. With its new design, state-of-the-art specifications, and an additional Sand Storm color option, the OnePlus 15 is likely to be among the most powerful Android phones of the year.
The news was broken through OnePlus’ social media and special microsite, which already debuted on leading e-commerce websites. OnePlus is marketing the OnePlus 15 as an elite phone that combines performance, design, and innovation.
Essential specifications of the OnePlus 15
The OnePlus 15 will be driven by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, an octa-core 3nm chipset that will deliver up to 20 percent improved performance and 35 percent greater power efficiency over its predecessor. The chip will also be seen in other flagship phones such as the Galaxy S26 Ultra and iQOO 15.
Some of the other salient features are:
- A 7,300mAh battery, one of the biggest in any mass-market flagship phone
- Wireless charging support of up to 50W and wired fast charging support of up to 120W
- A 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display in collaboration with BOE, featuring a maximum refresh rate of 165Hz
- A square-shaped camera island with the proprietary DigitalMax camera engine
- An alert slider-replacing customizable side button
All these enhancements make the OnePlus 15 a strong challenger to Apple, Samsung, and Google’s flagship products.
Design and color options
OnePlus has officially announced two color options that have been confirmed for the OnePlus 15—Obsidian Black and Sand Storm. The Sand Storm edition has a matte finish with discreet metallic details, created to find favor among users who value understated sophistication.
The phone also boasts ultra-slim bezels and a flat-edge design, which provide it with a contemporary and immersive appearance. The block-shaped camera module at the top left provides space for a strong visual identity and differentiates it from earlier OnePlus phones.
Global availability and pricing expectations
Although the official prices for the OnePlus 15 have not been released, industry observers predict that it would be between Rs 65,000 and Rs 75,000 in India. The price across the world is expected to be comparable to other devices in the flagship category.
The phone is going to be released in several markets such as India, Europe, and North America beginning mid-November. Pre-orders will shortly follow the launch event worldwide, with early adopters potentially receiving special accessories or discounts.
