TL;DR A new leak suggests that the upcoming OnePlus flagship, likely the OnePlus 15, will feature a flat 6.78-inch 1.5K display and the next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chipset.
It is expected to have a 50MP triple camera setup, with a large primary camera and a periscope zoom camera.
OnePlus could also be moving away from its Hasselblad partnership in favor of launching its own “image” brand.
The OnePlus 13 ticks all the right boxes for a top-tier Android phone, and it’s natural to expect the company to keep up the theme with its successor. The next flagship from the company will likely be called the OnePlus 15 and not the OnePlus 14 (as Chinese culture regards the number “4” as unlucky). Irrespective of the name, we expect a banger, and new leaks suggest it very well will be.
Leaker Digital Chat Station on Weibo has shared some specifications for the next OnePlus flagship, most likely the OnePlus 15:
As per Digital Chat Station, the OnePlus 15 will come with the SM8550, i.e., the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite (possibly called the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2, unless Qualcomm calls it something else). This aligns with the historical trends of OnePlus flagships, so it’s not surprising.
The leaker’s claim that the OnePlus 15 could get a 6.78-inch 1.5K resolution flat LIPO display is surprising. The OnePlus 13 comes with a larger 6.82-inch QHD+/2K display that is almost flat but with quad-curved edges (instead of the more pronounced curved edges on the older OnePlus 12), while the OnePlus 13R has a flat 6.78-inch 1.5K display.
If this leak from the reliable leaker is correct, the OnePlus 15’s display could be similar to the OnePlus 13R’s flat display. That’s not a bad change despite the downgrade on paper, as the 13R also has a very good and practical display. The bezels on the upcoming device are also said to be very thin.
