Rumors, leaked specs and a clear comparison for Indian buyers. Last updated: September 2, 2025.
The OnePlus 15 has gathered attention in leaks and rumor streams throughout 2025. The company reportedly skipped the number 14 for cultural reasons and to position the 15 as a major generational leap. Early reports suggest a China debut in Q4 2025 with a wider rollout to India expected by early 2026.
The OnePlus 15 is expected to ship with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (marketed also as an 8 Gen 4 series), built on a 3 nm process node, delivering a substantial uplift in CPU and GPU performance versus the previous generation.
Major leaks suggest a very large battery — around 7,000 mAh (some sources even tip up to 7,300+ mAh). Wired fast charging at 100 W is likely, with wireless charging speeds rumored around 50 W on capable trims.
Expect a triple-camera arrangement, possibly including high-resolution sensors and a periscope telephoto module for long-range zoom. Reports vary between multiple 50 MP sensors or a configuration pairing a 200 MP primary with supporting optics.
The phone should run OxygenOS based on Android 15. Memory options are rumored to include variants up to 16 GB RAM and storage up to 1 TB on premium SKUs.

| Charging | 100 W wired / 50 W wireless | 100 W wired (+ possible faster wireless) |
| Camera | Triple 50 MP (typical) | Triple (50 MP each or 200 MP primary + periscope) |
| Launch (India) | 2025 variants | China Q4 2025; India early 2026 (expected) |
If you already own a recent OnePlus flagship (OnePlus 13 / 14 series), consider whether battery and camera upgrades are worth the premium at launch. Early adopters after maximum battery and camera performance will benefit most.
Early pricing estimates for India put the OnePlus 15 in the ₹80,000 – ₹90,000 band for base variants, depending on configuration and import/tax differences. Official India availability is likely to follow the initial China announcement, with an expected window of January – February 2026 for retail availability.
Note: All prices and dates are based on leaks and analyst reports. Final pricing and timing will be announced during the official launch.
For Indian consumers, the OnePlus 15 could represent a meaningful leap in battery life and everyday endurance, reducing charge anxiety for heavy users. Gamers and power users will benefit from newer silicon and higher refresh rates; photographers will want to evaluate real-world camera samples before deciding.
For value-conscious buyers, waiting for sales events and early post-launch price corrections (Flipkart Big Billion Days, Amazon sales) could secure better buy-in prices.
