• Details of the OnePlus 15 have leaked
• We also have new renders of the design
• The phone could launch in November

We haven’t heard too much about the successor to the OnePlus 13 so far, but a fresh batch of leaks gives us a good idea of what’s on the inside and on the outside of the OnePlus 15 (the number 14 is being skipped, due to its associations with bad luck in China).

First up, the team at Android Headlines has pulled together some interesting information about OnePlus 15 benchmark scores that have appeared online. The scores indicate that the phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.

The scores themselves are actually pretty low, but at this stage in the phone’s development, it’s not worth paying much attention to them – they’re unlikely to match the real world performance levels of the handset once it sees the light of day.

It also looks as though the OnePlus 15 is going to come with 16GB of RAM, or at least the option of 16GB of RAM, based on this benchmark listing. The OnePlus 13 is available with 12GB, 16GB, or 24GB of RAM, though that last option isn’t available in many places.

Renders and colors

We’ve also seen some unofficial renders from tipster @Sudhanshu1414 (via Notebookcheck), though as always nothing is certain about these leaks – not until OnePlus actually gets around to launching the flagship phone.

There are three colors on show here, which are black, silver, and a dark purple. The outer camera module is a square, rather than a circle as it is on the OnePlus 13 – and it looks like there are three rear cameras here again, matching the current model.

Interestingly, an executive from OnePlus parent company Oppo has gone on record as saying that the design of the OnePlus 15 is one of his favorites in recent years, although there doesn’t look anything too out of the ordinary.

The standard OnePlus 13 was launched in China at the start of November 2024, before becoming more widely available in January 2025, and it’s likely that the successor is going to follow a similar sort of schedule but 12 months further on.
