There’s a new OnePlus flagship on the way, and it’s got a big leg up over the competition.
On Thursday morning, OnePlus confirmed that the OnePlus 15 is officially on the way, and offered basically only one concrete detail for us to work with: It runs on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 mobile chipset. According to Qualcomm, it will be the first phone in North America, and one of the first in the world, with this chipset. That puts it ahead of the competition from Google and Samsung, at least as it pertains to cutting-edge hardware.

Aside from that, OnePlus said we’d learn more about the phone “over the coming weeks.”

We still don’t have any official photos of the device yet, but it was teased earlier this week on Chinese social media. In a photo shared on Weibo, you can see that it has a new square camera bump on the back (as opposed to the circular one on the OnePlus 13), but we’ll have to wait to find out more.
OnePlus flagships tend to offer pretty serious value at whatever price they end up settling on, so if you’re in need of a new smartphone, maybe keep an eye on this.
