OnePlus has officially introduced its latest flagship lineup, launching the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6. These next-generation smartphones debut first in China, bringing refreshed designs, enhanced battery capacities, and upgraded internals for mobile enthusiasts.
Flagship Evolution: Display and Design
The OnePlus 15 showcases a completely revised flat design, moving away from the quad-curved display aesthetic. It has a 6.78-inch FHD+ BOE X3 panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and slimmer 1.15mm bezels on all sides, making the device more compact than its predecessor.
Hardware Advancements and Performance
The device is powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and features a 7,300mAh battery, which supports 120W wired and 50W wireless charging for quick power top-ups. It runs ColorOS 16 on top of Android 16.
Camera System Innovations
A shift from the Hasselblad partnership now brings OPPO’s Lumo Imaging System to the OnePlus 15. The triple camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP 3.5x zoom telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. A 32MP selfie camera rounds out the front-facing setup.
OnePlus Ace 6: Power User’s Alternative
The OnePlus Ace 6, succeeding the Ace 5, targets power users and will likely appear globally as the OnePlus 15R. With a slightly larger 6.83-inch FHD+ AMOLED at 165Hz, it packs a Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Edition.
The device has a dual rear camera array (50MP wide, 8MP ultrawide) and a 16MP selfie shooter. It houses a 7,800mAh battery and continues the trend of 120W wired charging (lacking wireless charging).
Configurations and Official Pricing
The OnePlus 15 is made available in Absolute Black, Misty Purple, and Sand Dune. Sales begin in China on October 28, with future global launch details to follow. The OnePlus Ace 6’s official release date is still to be announced.
