OnePlus 15 Launch Date Confirmed: India Gets Flagship Upgrade

OnePlus has officially confirmed that its next-generation flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15, will launch in India on November 13, 2025. The company described the device as a “global next-generation flagship,” signalling a fresh leap in performance and user experience. 

Here’s a rundown of what stands out:

⦁ The display is now a flat 6.78-inch panel (moving away from the curved screens in some past models), featuring a 165 Hz refresh rate and ultra-narrow 1.15 mm bezels. 

⦁ Under the hood, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16 GB RAM a clear push for high performance. 

⦁ The camera system has been redesigned ditching the Hasselblad branding and instead using Oppo’s “Lumo Imaging System,” with a triple-50MP setup (main sensor + 3.5× periscope telephoto + ultra-wide) and a 32 MP selfie-cam. 

⦁ Charging gets impressive: 120 W wired charging support (and 50 W wireless) alongside IP66/68/69/69K rating for dust and water resistance. 

⦁ It will ship with Android 16 (via OnePlus’ OxygenOS/ColorOS variant) and comes in colours like Absolute Black, Misty Purple and Sand Dune.

Pricing (from the Chinese launch) gives a rough guide: starting from 3,999 yuan (US dollars 561) for the 12GB/256GB version, and going up to 5,399 yuan (US dollars 758) for 16GB/1TB variant.

For tech-enthusiasts in India, the upcoming launch means a new benchmark likely for the flagship segment one that emphasises high refresh rate displays, fast charging, strong camera systems and premium build. For OnePlus, this is a moment to show they can continue to compete with top-tier players like Samsung and Apple in the premium category.

In practical terms: if you’re considering a top-end smartphone in the next few months, the OnePlus 15 is clearly worthy of keeping on your radar. It raises expectations around flagship features at possibly aggressive pricing (as OnePlus often aims for). That said, actual availability in India, local pricing, deals, after-sales support and real-world performance will matter. The build-up to November 13 is on and tech-fans will be watching closely.
