OnePlus has always been at the forefront of dynamic flagship Android phones, and the OnePlus 15 is no exception. This is one of the first Android smartphones on the market with the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, which is likely to appear in many other Android flagships, including Samsung devices, starting in 2026. If you want to get a head start on this powerful new chip, the OnePlus 15 is your phone.
The phone pairs the 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12GB LPDDR5X Ultra or 16GB LPDDR5X Ultra+ RAM and up to 512GB UFS 4.1 storage for blazing-fast performance.
OnePlus promises that the phone will be able to achieve a stable 120fps in games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. This smooth performance is perfectly complemented by the stunning 6.78-inch 165Hz LTPO AMOLED display.
Another standout feature of the OnePlus 15 that is rarely seen on most other flagship phones is IP69K. resistance to water and dust. This means the phone can withstand high-pressure water jets at temperatures up to 176°F (80°C).
I still wouldn't put it in the shower, but it's nice to know it has a decent chance of surviving the occasional wash in the washing machine. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but please don't throw your phone in the washing machine specifically to test claims.
OnePlus didn't renew its camera partnership with Hasselblad this year, but the cameras are still very reliable. Each of the three cameras uses a 50MP sensor, including a large main camera, a periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom, and an ultra-wide lens with a 116° field of view.
We also can't talk about the OnePlus 15 without mentioning its ridiculous 7,300mAh silicon-carbon battery, which can easily get you through an entire day without a charger. If you need to charge, the OnePlus 15 supports up to 120W fast wired charging (80W in the US) and 50W wireless charging with the AIRVOOC charger. His battery is great, as always.
Now that OnePlus 15 finally available in the USthis is the perfect time to place an order. OnePlus is offering up to $100 in bonuses when you trade in phones, tablets, smartwatches and other devices.
What's more, you can now choose a free gift along with your phone, including the steel version OnePlus Watch 3 (cost 300 US dollars), OnePlus Buds Pro 3 (worth $180) or OnePlus AIRVOOC 50W Magnetic Charger (cost $80). In my opinion, the Watch 3 is the best choice: it's the most interesting and valuable device on the list, and it's also a great smartwatch.
