OnePlus has officially launched its latest flagship, the OnePlus 15, in the Indian market, positioning it as a powerful contender in the premium segment. The device achieves a notable industry first by being the inaugural smartphone in the country to feature the state-of-the-art Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This debut underscores OnePlus’s commitment to pushing performance boundaries for local consumers. Available in two configurations—12GB+256GB and 16GB+512GB—the new flagship starts at a price of ₹72,999.
The OnePlus 15’s architecture is built around more than just the powerful Snapdragon chip. It utilizes a triple-chip architecture that incorporates dedicated chips for enhanced touch response (3200 Hz instant sampling) and stronger Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring optimized speed and responsiveness in critical areas. To sustain peak performance during intense gaming or multitasking, the phone features a sophisticated 360 Cryo-Velocity Cooling System employing advanced materials like aerogel insulation. Visuals are delivered through an impressive 1.5K 165Hz LTPO display, certified for eye care and featuring a dazzling 1800 nits peak brightness.
Powering this performance is the largest battery ever integrated into a OnePlus device: a substantial 7300mAh Silicon NanoStack Battery. This is complemented by ultra-fast 120W SUPERVOOC wired charging, capable of achieving a full charge in under 40 minutes, alongside 50W AIRVOOC wireless charging support. On the imaging front, the phone appeals to creators with a versatile triple 50MP camera system, highlighted by a periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical and 7x lossless zoom, plus support for 4K 120fps Dolby Vision video.
Running on OxygenOS 16, the software experience is deeply integrated with AI. The device features dedicated OnePlus AI tools alongside Google Gemini. A key highlight, ‘Plus Mind,’ allows users to save on-screen content with a simple gesture and immediately access contextual Gemini assistance for complex tasks like summarization and itinerary planning. Further cementing its flagship status is its rugged design, built with LIPO technology for structural integrity and boasting comprehensive IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K durability ratings. The OnePlus 15 is now available across major online and offline retail channels, with launch offers reducing the effective starting price through bank and exchange bonuses.
