According to a fresh leak from Digital Chat Station, the upcoming OnePlus 15 is set for a striking redesign that leaves behind the familiar round camera module seen on the OnePlus 11. In its place: a square. Compact, neat, and if the description holds deliberately understated. As if the phone is dressing up for an interview in the premium flagship category.
And that’s just the beginning.
Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be every bit the next-gen Chinese flagship packed with hardware that outpaces its predecessors:
- Qualcomm’s newest Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip
- A flat 1.5K display with LIPO technology, practically bezel-free
- A triple-lens 50MP main camera system
- And most notably, a huge 7000mAh battery
To put that in context: that’s tablet-level battery life packed into a phone-sized body.
Fast charging remains intact 100W wired. And if the rumors are right, this will be one of the first phones to launch with Qualcomm’s new chip, making it clear that OnePlus isn’t just aiming for a new look, but for the top of the performance charts as well.
The official unveiling is expected in October 2025 (China), with a global launch to follow in early 2026. A more affordable OnePlus 15R is also anticipated a variant for users who want the OnePlus experience without flagship pricing.
So what does all this mean?
The OnePlus 15 isn’t just another flagship iteration. It’s a statement. A move to break free from recycled design and remind the market that OnePlus still knows how to surprise not just with specs, but with style. The square camera bump isn’t just a new shape; it’s a signal. Minimalism is back. And with 7000mAh under the hood, this isn’t just a smartphone. It’s a pocket-sized power plant.
Stay tuned if this is how the autumn begins, 2026 might be one of the most exciting years for Android yet.
