FULL STORY ======================================================================OnePlus has revealed more details of the OnePlus 15, including that it uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset That's the successor to the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite used in the Galaxy S25 series The OnePlus 15 also has a 165Hz refresh rate but lacks Hasselblad branding Were expecting the OnePlus 15 to be fully unveiled soon, but the company has already revealed many elements of it, as during Qualcomms latest event (via The Verge ), it announced that this phone will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This chipset is the new top-end model from Qualcomm, and its the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series and many of 2025s other best Android phones . So by using this, the OnePlus 15 should have these devices beat in terms of power. Weve detailed the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in another article , but according to Qualcomm this chipset should be even more powerful than the A19 Pro powering the iPhone 17 Pro Max , and it could be particularly great for gaming and extended battery life. Refresh rate and camera details The OnePlus 15 (Image credit: OnePlus / Qualcomm) But OnePlus has also revealed some other details about its upcoming phone, including that it has a 165Hz refresh rate, which is much higher than the 120Hz of the OnePlus 13 and most other flagship phones. The redesigned camera block on the back of the phone was also shown off, and its a design we dont love , so thats one less promising element of the handset. And one element that were not sure what to make of yet is the lack of Hasselblad branding, with OnePlus saying its using an in-house DetailMax Engine instead, which apparently uses advanced algorithms and powerful processors. So how much impact this will have and whether it will be an upgrade or a downgrade remains to be seen. We should hopefully find out soon though, as more information about the OnePlus 15 will be revealed in the coming weeks. Oh, and if youre wondering what happened to the OnePlus 14, the number 4 is considered bad luck in China, which is presumably why theyre skipping straight to the 15.
