OnePlus Teases ‘Ultra‑High Refresh’ OnePlus 15, Hinting at 165Hz Display

The Weibo tease arrives as leaks point to in‑house imaging and a China debut later in 2025 with global sales in early 2026.

Overview

  • OnePlus China president Li Jie used Weibo to welcome Apple to 120Hz and said the company will “once again lead the industry,” signaling a jump beyond 120Hz for the OnePlus 15.
  • Reporting widely interprets the tease as confirmation of a 165Hz panel, a spec already seen on gaming phones such as Asus ROG models but new for a mainstream OnePlus flagship.
  • Some coverage cautions that any 165Hz mode could be limited to select scenarios like gaming to manage battery draw, which remains unconfirmed by OnePlus.
  • The device is expected to launch in China later this year with a broader rollout in early 2026, with multiple reports pointing to January for global availability.
  • Leaks also indicate OnePlus is moving off its Hasselblad partnership toward in‑house camera tech, alongside a refreshed design and high‑end internals that include Snapdragon 8 Elite‑class silicon and a large battery.
