The camera module has also been completelly changed to feature a squiricle camera module with a triple camera setup, moving away form the circular camera island we have seen in the last few years.

OnePlus has also teased the ultra-thin bezels of the OnePlus 15 which will 1.15mm on four sides, leading to a higher screen to display ratio than the previous generation.

The OnePlus 15 will also come with a 165Hz refresh rate display. While refresh rate is important it’s not really practical unless the game makers support it and OnePlus has been going on about the support for major games like League of Legends, Clash of Clans and more for the new display.

Leaks have previously suggested a 6.78 inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display for the OnePlus. The display is likely to be downgrade from the 2K panel on the previous generation. Meanwhile, the phone is expected to come with a triple 50MP setup with a primary lens, an ultra-wide angle lens and a periscope telephoto lens. The front shooter is expected to be a 32MP one with autofocus support, similar to the OnePlus 13s.

What to expect from India launch?
OnePlus has shown off the OnePlus 15 in two colour variants in India: Sand Dunes and Absolute Black. The company also says that OnePlus 15 will be the first phone in the country to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, which more or less confirms the rumours that OnePlus is planning to launch its flagship earlier than usual.
