- OnePlus 15 is setting up the footwork for its launch probably in October this year.
- Sources suggests OnePlus could snag the title of the first OEM with a smartphone powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC.
- OnePlus Ace 6 will follow along although the Pro will wait a few more months and eventually, we will see OnePlus 15T in the first quarter of next year.
OnePlus 15 is gearing up for its debut in October this year. In fact, if reports are to be believed, the flagship phone will be joined by OnePlus Ace 6 and One Ace 6 Pro, or at least the former. Moreover, we could see the OnePlus 15 arrive between the Xiaomi Redmi K90 series, which hits the market in China, possibly to take over the title of first smartphone maker to launch phones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC.
OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 launch is happening in October
According to Digital Chat Station (DCS), a highly reputable tipster from China, OnePlus is gearing up for its next month sometime in October this year. The last OnePlus 13 made its debut in October 2024, while the Ace 3 series had to wait a few months for its debut in November/December last year.
Cut to now, the OnePlus 15 is likely to arrive in October 2025, probably after the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit 2025. The Chinese maker wants to overthrow Xiaomi to win the first spot with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, and thus, it is likely to arrive before the Xiaomi Redmi K90 Series.
It’s not just the OnePlus 15, but the OnePlus Ace 6 and OnePlus Ace 6 Pro will mark their debut this month. DCS further adds that although Ace 6 will come alongside the OnePlus 15, the Ace 6 Pro will be reserved for a later date, sometime in November or December 2025.
OnePlus 15 expected specifications
We don’t have the official specs sheet yet; however, it doesn’t mean we haven’t heard about the OnePlus 15 so far. The phone is certainly bringing the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 to power its flagship status. There’s a 6.78” flat OLED LTPO 2K panel with slim bezels on the sides. The phone is likely to bring a heavy-weight 7,000+ mAh battery on-board paired alongside 100W charging tech that should get you the juice required to sustain a day with ease.
Gizmochina further says the OnePlus 15 will have a side button, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a metal middle frame, an IP68/69 rated body, and a 0916 x-axis vibration motor to go. OnePlus Ace 6 will probably see a Snapdragon 8 Series SoC as well, unless it goes for the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC. The device itself will be powered by a humongous 7,800mAh battery, making OnePlus 15’s battery feel puny.

If that’s not enough, we have the OnePlus 15T in the works, a compact flagship that goes along with the likes of the flagship series at OnePlus, launching in Q1 2026, probably in India and a few other markets.
OnePlus appears to be taking a slightly different strategy for upcoming launches that has already garnered a lot of attention. It remains to be seen how it all pans out.
