The OnePlus 15 introduces a significant design shift for the brand, featuring a flat-sided frame with softened edges and a new corner-placed square camera module, replacing the previous large circular bumps. It debuts a unique "Sand Storm" finish—a dune-inspired color blending sand and stone tones—alongside classic black and white options. The phone's fiberglass back and ceramic-coated metal frame enhance durability, making it over three times stronger than aluminum and tougher than titanium. The device retains a physical SIM card tray but removes the traditional three-position alert slider, replacing it with a customizable “Plus Key” for user-defined shortcuts. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, the OnePlus 15 offers improved speed and efficiency, complemented by a 165Hz display and the first Android support for always-on 120fps gaming, ensuring smooth and immersive performance. A standout feature is its large 7,300mAh battery, significantly bigger than competitors like the iPhone 17 Pro Max
