OnePlus 15 live image leak shows bold new design, confirmed to come with Android 16

OnePlus is said to launch its new flaship device, the OnePlus 15 later in the year. While a number of leaks are swirling around the new device, a purpoted image of the OnePlus 15 is now going live on social media showcasing the new design language and a new colourway.

According to tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the leaked image is certainly of the OnePlus 15 from the Elite Gaming League Finals in China.

The leaked image shows a very similar design to the OnePlus 13s with a squarish camera module featuring two main sensors in a pill shaped module and a third sensor placed above the LED flash.

Earlier leaks had hinted at the OnePlus 15 coming in Purple, Titanium and Black colour variants but the new photo shows the new OnePlus flagship in a bold new white colour option.

The phone is also said to be among the first wave of Android flagships likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Elite processor, the new Qualcomm mobile flagship which will be launched later this month.

The OnePlus 15 could come with a 6.78 inch LTPO display with a 1.5K resolutio (downgrade over QHD+ resolution on OnePlus 13) along with a 165Hz refresh rate.

If leaks are to be believed, the OnePlus 15 could come with a 7,000mAh battery (up from 6,000 mAh on OnePlus 13) wit support for 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging.

On the camera front, the OnePlus 15 is expected to come with a 50MP triple camera setup as last year with the telephoto lens supporting 3x optical zoom.

Unlike the OnePlus 13, the OnePlus will not come with Hasselblad branding and will instead use an in-house engine called, the DetailMax Engine. Whether that will be a good thing or a bad thing will only be revealed once the new phone launches in a couple of months.

What will also be new is the UI on the OnePlus 15, which could be the first device from OnePlus to come running on its new OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. However, the Chinese variant of the phone could continue to come running on the latest version of ColorOS.
