Last week, OnePlus teased its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 15, coming soon, and armed with Qualcomm’s newest flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. Now, we get a good look at the device from multiple angles.
The images shown are of the Sand Storm edition OnePlus 15, which will provide mildly different hardware than the other OP15 models. It will be comprised of a tougher metal frame, which uses a Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO) process to make the device, which is 3.4x harder than aluminum and is 1.3x as tough as titanium.
For starters, it resembles the OnePlus 13T, which was released overseas, featuring a return to a rounded square camera setup that slightly protrudes outward, similar to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The design also features curved edges and flat sides and backs, which provide a more comfortable grip in the hand. We also don’t see its signature Alert Slider, as it appears to be replaced by a customizable shortcut button.
Current rumors suggest it will have a fast 165Hz refresh rate display and a massive battery. The company already confirmed it parted ways with Hasselblad and is using its own imaging engine. We’re learning more about the OP15 little by little, day by day. Hopefully, we won’t have too long for its full reveal.
