OnePlus Ends Hasselblad Deal as Leaks Point to a Cheaper, Performance-First OnePlus 15

Pete Lau says the in-house DetailMax engine is in early testing with promising results.

Overview

  • Reports suggest the OnePlus 15 will prioritize raw speed and battery life, with leaks citing a Snapdragon 8 Elite family chip, a 6.78-inch 1.5K 165Hz display, up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage, and roughly a 7,000 mAh battery with fast wired charging.
  • Multiple outlets describe an iQOO-style strategy that trims costly components to lower price, with leaks specifically suggesting the OnePlus 15 could undercut the OnePlus 13.
  • The company has confirmed the end of its Hasselblad partnership and is moving to its DetailMax imaging pipeline, while leaks indicate camera hardware changes to save costs, including a smaller 3x telephoto or other sensor adjustments.
  • Launch timing is widely reported as a China debut expected in October 2025, with an India rollout tipped for January 2026.
  • Fresh leaks name three colors and weights: Dune/Titanium at 211g as the hero finish, plus Absolute Black and Mist Purple at 215g.
