OnePlus is gearing up for its next-generation flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15. This model will succeed the OnePlus 13 as the company skips the number 14. Ahead of its official unveiling, the device has appeared on Geekbench, shedding light on its core specifications. Here’s what we know so far.

According to a recent post by tipster Abhishek Yadav @yabhishekhd on X, the OnePlus 15 carrying the model number PLK110 is now listed on Geekbench with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (also referred to as Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5).

The chipset is shown as an octa-core processor featuring two prime cores clocked at 4.61GHz and six secondary cores running at 3.63GHz. Since the benchmarked unit is still in the testing stage, the recorded scores are on the lower side.

The listing also confirms that the test device was equipped with 16GB of RAM, hinting that 16GB could be the base configuration. The phone is also seen running Android 16 out of the box, customised with OxygenOS 16.

OnePlus 15 – Design and Camera Upgrades (Rumoured)

Leaks suggest that the OnePlus 15 may undergo a major design overhaul. It could be moving away from the circular camera island found in its predecessor to a rounded rectangular module, similar to the OnePlus 13s.

Reports also indicate that OnePlus may end its long-standing Hasselblad partnership, switching instead to OPPO’s Lumo Image Engine for advanced imaging capabilities. The flagship is expected to feature a 50MP main camera sensor, a massive 7000–7500mAh battery supported by 100W fast charging and a 1.5K LTPO display with slimmer bezels.

If the display specs rumour is true, it would be a downgrade from the 2K+ LTPO screen on the OnePlus 13.

OnePlus 15 – Launch Timeline

The OnePlus 15 is tipped to launch first in China around late October or early November 2025, with an India launch expected in early 2026. More details regarding its specifications and features are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
