OnePlus 15 Goes Global: Same Specs, Massive 7,300mAh Battery

OnePlus has confirmed the global arrival of the OnePlus 15 on November 13, 2025 — and international buyers will get the exact same hardware seen in the China launch. That means the headline features, from the ultra-smooth display to the gigantic 7,300 mAh Silicon NanoStack battery, carry over without compromise.

A screen built for speed and clarity

The OnePlus 15 brings a 1.5K LTPO OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate — a rare combo that OnePlus calls an industry first. Expect fluid motion and sharp detail that aim for “retina-level” clarity. The panel also supports a peak 1,800-nit High Brightness Mode and dimming down to 1 nit for comfortable low-light use.

OnePlus has TÜV Rheinland eye-care certification onboard, plus an Eye Comfort Reminder and a gaming Eye Comfort Mode that tweaks color saturation to reduce strain during long sessions. The company claims native support for 165fps gameplay in titles like Call of Duty: Mobile, Brawl Stars, and Clash of Clans, while other games can reportedly reach an always-on 120fps experience without frame drops.

Battery and charging: the headline that matters

Powering the phone is the same 7,300 mAh Silicon NanoStack battery used in the Chinese model. It contains roughly 15% silicon and supports 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging — a fast-charge mix that’s rare in flagship phones with such large capacity. OnePlus says the battery should retain at least 80% of its original capacity after four years and remains reliable in very cold conditions down to -20°C.

Performance, cooling and connectivity

Under the hood the OnePlus 15 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. To sharpen responsiveness, OnePlus added a dedicated touch-response chip that enables a staggering 3,200Hz touch sampling rate, and a standalone Wi‑Fi chip to help maintain strong connections in crowded networks.

Thermals have been reworked with a 360-degree Cryo-Velocity Cooling System that combines a large 5,731 mm² 3D vapor chamber, aerospace-grade aerogel insulation to limit heat transfer, and a white graphite back cover to even out heat distribution. The upshot: cooler-handling devices during marathon gaming or sustained heavy workloads.

Software and durability

The OnePlus 15 ships with OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16. Durability is also a highlight: the handset carries multiple ingress-protection marks — IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K — for dust and water resistance, indicating OnePlus focused on real-world resilience across environments.
