OnePlus 15 tipped with next‑gen BOE display, faster refresh rate, and huge battery
The next OnePlus flagship is shaping up to be a major display showcase. According to a reliable Weibo tipster, the OnePlus 15 is expected to debut in China this October, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 and fronted by BOE’s third‑generation “Oriental” screen, known as the X3.
This would be a meaningful step up from the OnePlus 13, which launched in China in November 2024 with BOE’s X2 panel and earned DisplayMate’s top A++ rating. Just like last year, it sounds like the new display tech will be announced ahead of the phone itself, signaling OnePlus’s continued focus on screen quality.
Rumored display specs point to a 6.78‑inch panel with a 1.5K resolution and a blazing 165Hz refresh rate. For context, the OnePlus 13 used a slightly larger 6.82‑inch screen at 2K resolution but topped out at 120Hz. If accurate, the OnePlus 15 could trade a touch of resolution for noticeably smoother motion and gaming responsiveness, while the new BOE X3 tech may deliver improved brightness, efficiency, and color accuracy.
Beyond the screen, leaks suggest OnePlus is packing in a sizable battery—around 7,000mAh—paired with 120W wired fast charging. A refreshed design language is also on the cards, hinting at a visual departure from the previous generation. The device is rumored to launch alongside the more affordable OnePlus Ace 6, and the company is reportedly preparing a new budget‑friendly Turbo series as well.
