Oneplus 15 : OnePlus has dropped the OnePlus 15, a smartphone that’s turning heads with its massive battery and cutting-edge Snapdragon chip, launching right in the heart of India’s competitive market.

Priced aggressively and packed with upgrades, it’s aimed straight at power users craving endurance without compromise.​

Launch Buzz Hits India Hard

The OnePlus 15 made its global splash in late October 2025, but India got the star treatment with an official unveiling on November 13, 2025, sales kicking off the same evening at 8 PM IST.

Available through OnePlus India stores, Amazon, and Flipkart, early birds snag bank discounts up to Rs 3,000 on HDFC cards, sweetening the deal for eager buyers.

Colors like Absolute Black, Misty Purple, and Sand Dune flew off virtual shelves, proving OnePlus knows how to blend style with substance in a market flooded with options.​

Pricing That Packs a Punch

Starting at Rs 72,999 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB model, it climbs to Rs 79,999 for the 16GB + 512GB beast, undercutting many rivals while delivering premium specs.

That’s a smart play in India, where value-for-money rules—cheaper than the OnePlus 13’s street price now, yet loaded with next-gen upgrades.

Throw in bundle perks like free Nord earbuds worth Rs 2,699, and it’s a no-brainer for budget-conscious flagships hunters.​

Design Shift: Flat, Tough, and Ready for Anything

Ditching the curved edges of old, the OnePlus 15 rocks a flat 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with razor-thin bezels and a boxy iPhone-esque frame that’s gamer-friendly and pocketable at 161.4 x 76.7 x 8.1mm.

Gorilla Glass Victus 2 up front pairs with an aluminum frame and reinforced glass or plastic back, earning IP66/68/69 ratings for dust and water defiance—surviving drops, splashes, and even high-pressure jets.

Weighing 211-215g, it feels premium without bulk, available in earthy tones that scream sophistication.​

Display Glory at 165Hz Smoothness

The 1.5K (1272 x 2772) screen hits 165Hz refresh rates, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and peaks at 2187 nits brightness for vivid outdoors viewing.

Punch-hole selfie cam keeps things immersive, with 3200Hz touch sampling ideal for gaming marathons.

Reviewers rave about the symmetrical bezels and LTPO efficiency, making scrolls buttery and colors pop—perfect for binge-watching or PUBG sessions in Haryana’s dusty summers.​​

Snapdragon Muscle Meets AI Smarts

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (first in North America/India), with octa-core up to 4.6GHz Oryon CPU, Adreno 840 GPU, and up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM + 1TB UFS 4.1 storage, it crushes AnTuTu scores over 2.7 million.

OxygenOS 16 on Android 16 brings dual AI for smart features like real-time LUT previews and Fengchi Gaming Core 2.0, while ultrasonic fingerprint and IR blaster add everyday flair.

Thermals stay cool via massive vapor chamber and aerogel insulation, even during extended Genshin Impact runs.​

Camera Setup: Solid but Sparks Debate

Triple 50MP rear cams include a Sony LYT-700 main with OIS, 116° ultrawide, and 3.5x periscope telephoto for sharp zooms up to 85mm.

Front 32MP handles 4K/60fps selfies, all supporting 8K/30fps or 4K/120fps Dolby Vision video with gyro-EIS.

It’s reliable for daily snaps and portraits, but some reviews call it a step back from OnePlus 13’s Hasselblad magic—less low-light wizardry than Pixel or Galaxy rivals.

Still, laser focus and color spectrum sensor deliver punchy, natural shots for social media warriors.​​

Battery Beast Redefines All-Day Power

The star: 7300mAh silicon-carbon dual-cell battery lasts 23+ hours of active use, topping charts for streaming, gaming, and navigation.

120W wired SUPERVOOC hits 100% in 40 minutes (50% in 15), plus 50W wireless and 10W reverse—bypass charging keeps it cool during plugs.

In real-world tests, it outpaces iPhone 17 and S25 Ultra, ideal for India’s long commutes or content creation marathons.​​

Performance and Software That Flows

Stereo speakers with LHDC 5 audio, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and 5G bands tailored for India make connectivity seamless.

OxygenOS 16 shines with clean UI, AI tweaks, and 4 years of updates promised—minimal bloat, maximal speed. Gaming? 120FPS always-on, UAV-grade gyro, and haptic motor turn it into a portable console.​

Who Wins in the Indian Arena?

Against Vivo X200 or iQOO 13, the OnePlus 15 dominates battery and charging, trades blows on performance, but lags slightly in camera flair.

For Rs 70k-80k, it’s a steal for multitaskers, gamers, and creators in Narnaund or beyond—raw power without the premium tax.

Early reviews hail it as a “battery monster” despite thermal niggles under max load. If endurance tops your list, grab it before stocks vanish.
