OnePlus is gearing up for its next flagship release, and the first official teasers may have just confirmed the launch window. Posted on Weibo, the images reveal the OnePlus 15 sporting slimmer bezels, a flat display, and a new square-shaped camera module. Interestingly, one of the lock screens in the teaser is set to October 27, aligning with earlier reports of a late-October debut in China, followed by a global rollout in November.

The OnePlus 15 is expected to feature a 6.78-inch BOE X3 Oriental AMOLED display with a razor-thin 1.15mm uniform bezel, slightly narrower than Xiaomi 17’s 1.18mm frame. The panel pushes 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, a clear jump from the 120Hz screen of the OnePlus 13. Under the hood, Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will power the device, promising a 20% CPU and 23% GPU boost over its predecessor. With OnePlus’s game optimizations, titles like Call of Duty Mobile and Delta Force could run at up to 165fps.

On the design side, OnePlus is introducing an aerospace-grade nano-ceramic metal mid-frame that’s claimed to be stronger than aluminum yet lighter than titanium. The new frame also improves heat dissipation and durability, with finishes like “Quenching Texture” and “Ice Skin” making their debut alongside the new Sand Dune color option. The redesigned square camera housing is expected to hold a triple-lens system, including a rumored 50MP periscope telephoto.

Powering the device is a rumored 7,000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging. Early reports suggest pricing in China could start at CNY 3,999 (PHP 32,602) lower than the OnePlus 13 at launch, potentially giving the OnePlus 15 an edge as one of the more aggressively priced flagships this year.
