OnePlus has just launched the OnePlus 15, but the company's marketing isn't fooling me when it comes to the phone's downgrades.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 runs on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, the same one powering next-gen flagships from Samsung and Xiaomi. Combined with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1 TB UFS 4.0 storage, it’s built for speed, multitasking, and AI-driven performance.

I thought OnePlus had figured out its perfect formula, but the OnePlus 15 looks like a concerning step backwards after last year.

The OnePlus 15 is the latest flagship creating a ripple in the smartphone world. With an advanced chipset delivering top-notch performance, massive battery, and a powerful camera set, the OnePlus 15 is set to be a major rival to competing flagships.

One thing the OnePlus 15 won’t be short of is power. It has the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset; that’s the successor to the chipset found in the OnePlus 13, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and many other top Android phones. Not many handsets have this yet, so the OnePlus 15 should be able outperform most current smartphones.

The OnePlus 15 will soon hit the shelves covered in a special sand-inspired coating that that also elevates the ergonomics and durability of this particular variant. I've never been more excited about a phone's color option as this one.
