In the last couple of years, OnePlus has kept a routine of launching its flagship phone in China first before the end of the year — saving its global launch for after the beginning of the new year. With the OnePlus 15, however, it could be coming way sooner than you think.
In fact, OnePlus announced today that the OnePlus 15 is going to be powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation chipset: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform. Apple’s A19 Pro chip has already flexed its muscle power over the current Snapdragon 8 Elite that powers many of the best Android phones around, like the OnePlus 13 and Galaxy S25 Ultra, but the OnePlus 15 could eclipse them all.
