OnePlus has been teasing its next flagship, and fresh leaks are filling in the gaps with details on memory options, a huge battery, and new colorways. If these reports are accurate, the OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be a performance powerhouse with real staying power.
A well-known tipster on Weibo claims the OnePlus 15 will launch in five RAM and storage configurations:
– 12 GB + 256 GB
– 12 GB + 512 GB
– 16 GB + 256 GB
– 16 GB + 512 GB
– 16 GB + 1 TB
As always, availability may vary by region. The 1 TB version of the OnePlus 13 was limited to China, and while the 13 had a 24 GB RAM variant, there’s no mention of a 24 GB option for the 15 in this leak.
Battery life looks set to be a headline feature. The phone is reportedly packing a 7,800 mAh battery with 120 W fast charging. That’s roughly 30% larger than the OnePlus 13’s capacity, a substantial jump that could translate to all-day endurance even with heavy use. Earlier this year, the same leaker mentioned a Snapdragon 8 Elite device with a 7,800 mAh cell in development; this new info strongly points to the OnePlus 15.
The leak also touches on colors and weight. Expected colorways include black, Quick Silver, and Flash White, with a claimed weight of 214 grams—just a gram more than the previous generation despite the much bigger battery. Previous chatter listed a Sand Dune variant at 211 grams, and black and purple versions at around 215 grams. The white finish contradicts earlier claims, suggesting some hues might be regional exclusives.
Beyond the leaks, several details are already confirmed. The OnePlus 15 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and feature a 165 Hz display. OnePlus has also confirmed a Sand Dune colorway and revealed it’s moving to its own imaging engine after ending its collaboration with Hasselblad.
There’s no official launch date yet, but a teaser image from the company showed October 27 on the lockscreen, which many read as a hint at a China reveal. If the rumors hold true, the OnePlus 15 could deliver one of the largest batteries in a mainstream flagship, top-tier performance, ultra-smooth visuals, and a fresh approach to camera processing—all while keeping the design lean and light.
Key takeaways for shoppers:
– Big battery: 7,800 mAh with 120 W charging for quick top-ups
– Multiple RAM/storage options up to 16 GB and 1 TB
– Lightweight design around 214 g despite the larger cell
– Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and a 165 Hz display for smooth, responsive performance
– New imaging engine from OnePlus, with color options likely varying by market
Keep an eye out for official confirmation and regional availability as launch approaches.
