It will also ship with OxygenOS 16, based on Android 16.

OnePlus 15: What to expect

Ahead of the launch, OnePlus has confirmed that the OnePlus 15 in India will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, paired with LPDDR5X Ultra+ RAM in the 16GB variant. It also confirmed that the smartphone will feature a triple 50MP camera with OnePlus’ own DetailMax Engine, that will introduce new imaging features such as the new 26MP mode, Clear Burst shots at 10 frames per second and improved low light capabilities.

 

Based on these similarities, the OnePlus 15 in India is expected to closely mirror the Chinese version in terms of hardware.

 

  For reference, the OnePlus 15 in China sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a FHD+ resolution of 2772×1272 pixels, offering up to 1,800 nits of peak brightness and a refresh rate of 120Hz, with select scenarios reaching 165Hz. The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens, along with a 32MP front camera for selfies. Powering the device is a 7,300mAh battery that supports 120W Super Flash Charge and 50W wireless charging.

 

The company’s Indian website has also teased the device in three colour options — Sand Dune, Absolute Black, and Misty Purple — which match the finishes offered in China.
