yeah, the only upgrade i see is processor, battery capacity and screen.

heck, they should at least upgrade the camera lens to using lyt 818 ma, even find x9 pro and vivo x300 pro will be upgraded to using lyt 828...
Probably they intentional wants to hold back OnePlus. They are not allowed to surpass their parent company..

A little birdy mentioned global launch of OP15 might be mid of Nov. Hopefully it is true.

Pricing and free gifts will be about the same as OP13. But to be confirmed. Stay tuned :)
Aiyeah that's nice. Help me thank the bird!
I'm definitely getting the OP15, coz the OP13 is the best phone for me this year.

The battery if 7800 really satki sia .. but the telephone cam a bit buay sai...
rumored to be only 7000mah, then the main cam is gonna use back the 808 that in use since 12. TBH i am abit worried for the direction that CN side is giving oneplus, towards gaming much more than overall incl camera.

TL; DR
  • First samples from the OnePlus 15 show strong HDR, colors, and portrait edge detection.
  • The main camera could be using the LYT700, with telephoto downgraded to JN5.
  • DetailMax Engine replaces Hasselblad branding with OPPO’s Lumo imaging.



The very first camera samples of the OnePlus 15 are already here, and they give us a clear idea of what to expect from the upcoming flagship. The photos show noticeable improvements in processing, with colors looking more natural and HDR looking perfectly balanced. Edge detection in portrait shots looks excellent, with single strands of hair being detected.

OnePlus 15 Comes With a Smaller Main Sensor than the 13​

The main camera seems to use the LYT700 sensor, paired with a 24 mm focal length and f1.8 aperture. This is the same sensor seen in the OnePlus 13s and other OPPO devices, which means OnePlus is actually downgrading the hardware for the main camera.

The real change comes in processing. Instead of Hasselblad branding, OnePlus is now relying on OPPO’s Lumo imaging, rebranded globally as the DetailMax Engine. From these first photos, it looks like the switch may actually benefit the brand, as OnePlus seems to have combined years of Hasselblad-tuned expertise with OPPO’s advanced processing to create something exceptional.

OnePlus 15 3.5X Telephoto​

On the telephoto side, things are a little more complicated. The OnePlus 15 will use a JN5 sensor with an 80 mm focal length, cropped to 85 mm, and an f2.8 aperture. Compared to last year, this is technically a downgrade. The sensor size is smaller, and the aperture is less bright, which could impact low-light telephoto performance.

The magnification itself will be marketed as 3.5X, but in reality, it’s closer to 3.3X. Still, the processing improvements we see in these early samples make the telephoto shots look far better than expected, and the portraits taken at 85 mm look genuinely impressive.

For the ultrawide, the OnePlus 15 is expected to stick to a 50 MP JN5 sensor with an f2.0 aperture, essentially unchanged from last year. Overall, the hardware may look like a sidegrade—or in some cases, even a downgrade.

However, these first shots prove that OnePlus is heavily banking on processing to close the gap. The detail, HDR handling, and edge detection all point to a phone that could deliver a more consistent camera experience, even if the sensors themselves aren’t groundbreaking.

OnePlus 15 Launch Date and Pricing​

OnePlus 15 OnePlus 15

Outside the camera department, OnePlus is also preparing bold design changes. The OnePlus 15 will come in a new Sandstorm color, with an aerospace-grade nano-metallic unibody coated in ceramic through a micro-arc oxidation process.

OnePlus 15 OnePlus 15

The phone is set to launch in China next month before reaching India and other global markets. Pricing is where OnePlus could surprise many—it’s expected to be around ¥500 cheaper than last year in China, and in India, it may land at around ₹60,000.

Coupled with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, massive 7,500 mAh battery, great software, and 165 Hz display delivering top-tier performance, the OnePlus 15 could end up being one of the best flagships of the year for ₹60,000. It could be even cheaper with offers.

Wah 3.5x 1/2.76" is what Oppo Reno 14 is using, not a good telephoto at all(okay for Reno 14 since it's less than half OP15 price)

But public will see 3.5x better than 3x think is better

The cheaper cousin brand Realme GT 8 Pro rumoured to have a 200mp 1/1.4" hp9 telephoto lol
