OnePlus 15 India Launch — What’s the Buzz About?
OnePlus seems to be gearing up for a major debut in India. A dedicated microsite has gone live on Amazon India (alongside OnePlus’s own site), hinting that the OnePlus 15 could launch soon — possibly around October 29, based on the teaser text.
This build-up comes hot on the heels of OnePlus’s China launch scheduled for October 27, aligning closely with a likely global rollout shortly after.
Design & Color Variants
The teaser pages confirm that the OnePlus 15 will debut in two distinct colors for the Indian market:
-
Sand Storm — a rugged, beige-like hue with a micro-arc oxidation (MAO) coating that reportedly enhances frame durability.
-
Absolute Black — a classic, timeless finish.
Reports also suggest the phone may feature a fiberglass rear panel, lending it a lightweight yet resilient feel.
Power & Performance
Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 is expected to be a powerhouse:
-
Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
-
RAM / Storage: Up to 16 GB RAM, with options for 256GB, 512GB, or even 1TB storage.
-
OS: OxygenOS 16, based on Android 16.
Display That Wows
Leaked information indicates a brilliant 6.78-inch BOE X3 AMOLED display with:
-
1.5K resolution
-
Adaptive LTPO refresh rate (1 Hz to 165 Hz)
-
Dolby Vision and Pro XDR support
-
Ultra-thin bezels (around 1.15 mm) for an immersive screen experience
Camera Setup
Photography looks to be a strong suit for the OnePlus 15, with a triple 50MP camera array expected on the rear:

Add to that OnePlus’s own DetailMax image-processing engine, and the photography capabilities may be quite competitive.
