The OnePlus 15 has reportedly been spotted in China with a bold new design.
The OnePlus 15 has reportedly been spotted in the wild.
The upcoming flagship was supposedly seen at the 2025 Peace Elite League (PEL) Summer Finals in China, as a group of e-sports players gathered around the device.
In a post on Weibo, GizmoChina shared a photo of the phone, which sports a new square camera module.
The device also features a boxy, iPhone-like design and a grey colour, which has been described as “titanium”.
GizmoChina added in the caption: “Guess what they’re looking at.”
Alongside the new design, a series of rumours point to the improved hardware powering the OnePlus 15.
According to reports, the device will be among the first handsets to ship with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, promising major gains in both raw performance and AI-driven tasks.
Other leaks suggest the phone may carry an upgraded 165Hz LTPO AMOLED display with peak brightness levels rivalling Samsung’s Galaxy flagships – though could come at the cost of having a lower resolution, at 1.5K.
Meanwhile, the alert slider – which has been present on OnePlus devices since the OnePlus 2 in 2015 – is said to be replaced with a customisable button similar to the Action Button seen on Apple’s iPhones.
Battery life is also expected to see changes, with the OnePlus 15 reportedly set to pack a 7,000mAh cell.
Pricing for the phone remains unconfirmed, though analysts believe it will stay close to the £899/$899 starting point of the OnePlus 13.
The OnePlus 15 is tipped to be revealed in China before a wider global release in early 2026.
