The OnePlus 15 was announced in China on Monday, October 27, 2025. Typically, companies like OnePlus will wait a few months before bringing the new device to the global market, including the US. However, this year, the wait is much shorter.
OnePlus has announced that the global release date for the OnePlus 15 is going to be November 13. Which means you can have a new OnePlus phone in time for the holidays. They haven’t yet announced the time for the launch event, but it’s likely around 10AM ET.
We do already know a ton about the OnePlus 15 thanks to the Chinese launch event, most of which will be the exact same for the global model. Including the removal of Hasselblad. OnePlus announced a few months ago that it had developed its own photo processing engine called DetailMax. So, on the surface, the camera specs might seem like a bit of a downgrade.
The OnePlus 15 will sport a 6.78-inch QHD+ display, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. Though it’s likely that the 1TB of storage model will remain exclusive to China, as we’ve seen in recent years.
It also has a massive 7,300mAh capacity battery, which is expected to be the same size globally. With some phones, Europe ends up with a smaller battery due to regulations. But that’s not the case for OnePlus – technically, this is because it uses two batteries in its phones. We’re still getting 80W wired charging with the charger in the box too. As well as up to 50W of wireless charging.
Pricing is expected to remain mostly the same as the OnePlus 13, which started at $899 here in the US. That would make this a very compelling device from OnePlus, especially in the US where competition isn’t as steep.
