OnePlus has unveiled its proprietary OnePlus Gaming Technology, which aims to make mobile gaming faster, smoother, and more responsive. The company said that this new technology is set to debut with the upcoming OnePlus 15 series. This suggests that apart from the flagship OnePlus 15, which is scheduled to launch in India on November 13, this new gaming technology could also make its way to the anticipated OnePlus 15R.

OnePlus Gaming Technology: What will it do

OnePlus’ new Gaming Core is said to work deep within the phone’s processor to manage gaming tasks more efficiently. The company said this chip-level optimisation reduces CPU load by about 22 per cent, helping games run more steadily without overheating or draining the battery too quickly. The result, according to OnePlus, is a more consistent high-frame-rate experience of up to 120fps in supported titles.

 

The new setup also features a “Performance Tri-Chip system” — three specialised chips that have been claimed to separately handle gaming performance, touch response, and Wi-Fi connectivity. According to OnePlus, the dedicated touch chip will boost screen sensitivity for faster and more accurate inputs, while the upgraded Wi-Fi chip will improve stability in weak-signal environments to reduce lag during online play.

 

With the new “OP FPS Max” feature, OnePlus is targeting next-generation gaming performance on mobile. According to the company, the system will support gameplay at up to 165fps on compatible displays, aiming to make motion smoother and visuals sharper than traditional 60fps experiences.

 

OnePlus 15 series: What to expect

The upcoming OnePlus 15 series is expected to include the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R, the latter likely being a rebranded version of the OnePlus Ace 6 from China. The OnePlus 15 has been confirmed to arrive in India with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, 50MP triple camera system, and Android 16-based OxygenOS 16 out of the box. There has been no official confirmation about the OnePlus 15R.
