TL;DR The OnePlus 15 features a large dual-cell silicon-carbon battery (7,300mAh), offering higher capacity than its predecessor’s.
The camera hardware has been downgraded, featuring smaller sensors and slower apertures compared to the OnePlus 13.
Other key changes include improved stereo speakers, fewer microphones (three vs four), and an upgraded vapor chamber for cooling.
OnePlus launched the OnePlus 15 in China this week, positioning itself as a contender for the best next-gen Android flagship. We expect to see the OnePlus 15 make its way to global markets soon, so if you haven’t already bought a OnePlus flagship, you shouldn’t buy one until the new flagship launches. If you’re curious what parts make the OnePlus 15 tick, we now have a better look at the internals, thanks to teardowns.

We get to see the large 7,300mAh dual-cell silicon-carbon battery — the battery is physically larger compared to the last-gen OnePlus 13’s 6,000mAh dual-cell battery.
Moving ahead, we also get to compare the OnePlus 15’s camera setup to that of the OnePlus 13. A cursory glance at the spec sheet would indicate that the camera MP count remains the same across the board; however, we can see that OnePlus has practically replaced all the sensors in a year, but not for the better.
