The OnePlus 15 just might be the year’s best value Android phone, so long as these rumors are all true.
The OnePlus 15 will be launched outside of China on Nov. 13.
This is OnePlus’ first phone after the end of the Hasselblad partnership.
The global model will also get a 7,300mAh battery capacity.
The OnePlus 13 launched earlier this year, but the company is already prepping to soon release its successor. After its China launch on Oct. 27, the OnePlus 15 is set to launch in the US and other markets on Nov. 13.
Ahead of the launch, OnePlus has confirmed several specs of its upcoming flagship. If we go by its China model, the OnePlus 15 could put other flagship phones to shame. OnePlus 15 will have an all-new design
While it’s been a trend lately, the upcoming OnePlus phone will not look like its predecessor. From a redesigned camera module to a new finish on the back, it won’t be anything like the OnePlus 13. Ahead of the global release, OnePlus has shared multiple images of its next flagship phone, along with a new “sand storm” color variant.
The OnePlus 15 camera module borrows design elements from the Asia-exclusive OnePlus 13T (OnePlus 13S in India). It sports a textured finish on the back for improved grip, which should be good, but I’ll miss the OnePlus 13’s faux leather back. Nonetheless, the new version looks great from the photos. I just hope it has a fingerprint-resistant coating to some capacity.
The OnePlus 15 also features a fiberglass back housed in a ceramic-coated metal frame. It is claimed to be tougher than either aluminum or titanium, two materials commonly found in competing handsets. Like the Oppo Find X9 Pro, it also gets a customizable Plus Key, which will sit in a similar place as the Action Button on an iPhone, allowing users to set quick-press shortcuts and access Plus Mind.
