OnePlus 15 Debuts With 165 Hz Display, 7,300 mAh Battery and New Camera Strategy

The redesign centers on speed, battery endurance and Oppo-tuned imaging, with reports pointing to a lower-priced 15R variant in early 2026.

Overview

  • OnePlus officially unveiled the 6.78-inch LTPO OLED OnePlus 15, which drops QHD+ for 2772×1272 resolution to enable up to 165 Hz variable refresh.
  • The flagship runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X and UFS 4.1 storage, adds an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, IP69/IP69K protection and a programmable action key in place of the Alert Slider.
  • A 7,300 mAh silicon‑carbon dual‑cell battery supports 120 W wired and 50 W wireless charging, and the phone ships with OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 plus four Android upgrades and five years of security updates.
  • The triple rear camera array uses three 50 MP sensors without Hasselblad branding, relying on Oppo’s image engine rebranded as DetailMax alongside OIS on the wide and 3.5x telephoto lenses.
  • European pricing starts at €950 (12/256), with the 16/512 model at €1,050 and a €100 launch discount until December 12; separate reports suggest a OnePlus 15R in early 2026 with Snapdragon 8 Elite, ~7,800 mAh and 120 W charging, likely at a lower entry price.
