OnePlus 15 is expected to make its debut in China in the coming days, and early leaks suggest that the upcoming flagship could arrive at a lower price than last year’s OnePlus 13. With an upgraded display, powerful new Snapdragon chipset, and redesigned camera system, OnePlus appears to be positioning its next premium phone as a strong yet value-focused Android flagship.
OnePlus 15 price may undercut the OnePlus 13
According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by tipster Arsène Lupin (@MysteryLupin), the 16GB RAM + 512GB variant of the OnePlus 15 could be priced at GBP 949 (around ₹1,11,000). However, reports indicate that the India price for the base model might fall between ₹70,000 and ₹75,000, making it more affordable than the OnePlus 13.
For comparison, the OnePlus 13’s 16GB + 512GB model is currently listed at GBP 999 (roughly ₹1,17,000) in the UK. If these leaks hold true, the upcoming OnePlus flagship could be around GBP 50 ( ₹6,000) cheaper, marking a rare price drop for a top-tier smartphone in today’s market.
Expected specifications and features
OnePlus 15 is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, Qualcomm’s newest flagship processor promising faster performance and improved power efficiency. It will reportedly feature a massive 7,300mAh Glacier Battery with support for 120W Super Flash Charge and 50W Wireless Flash Charge, a significant improvement in battery capacity and charging speed.
The device is also said to sport a third-generation 1.5K BOE Flexible Oriental OLED display with an impressive 165Hz refresh rate, offering smoother visuals and better brightness. OnePlus claims the panel will deliver a 13% boost in peak brightness and 11.8% better colour accuracy compared to previous models.
Redesigned triple-camera setup
In terms of optics, OnePlus 15 will feature a triple 50-megapixel rear camera system housed in a new square-shaped module. This includes a Sony main sensor and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom, aiming to improve low-light and long-range photography.
While official details are yet to be confirmed, the OnePlus 15 seems poised to deliver premium performance, advanced imaging, and faster charging, all at a slightly lower price. If accurate, this could make it one of the most competitively priced Android flagships of 2025.
