Android OEMs aren’t holding back from teasing their respective next-generation hardware now that Qualcomm’s newest processor is officially open. Although we were already aware that the OnePlus 15 was imminent, today’s early revelation has allowed us to begin assembling the appearance of this upcoming flagship.

There are no official images or specs sheets available, indicating that OnePlus is keeping this one under wraps. Instead, the company is teasing the release of the OnePlus 15, beginning with the official (but not very surprising) announcement that it will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Although OnePlus has almost always used flagship processors for its mainstream entry, it’s encouraging to know that one component is staying true to the norm given the many changes that will be coming for this next generation.

Speaking of changes, today’s announcement serves as yet another reminder that OnePlus and Hasselblad have dissolved their cooperation. The business claims that their “self-developed DetailMax image engine” uses “sophisticated algorithms and powerful processors” to take pictures, but we’ll have to wait and see what any actual or hypothetical outcomes look like.

With game-specific software, the OnePlus 15 will also offer a “unrivaled gaming experience”; it’s unclear if this differs from OxygenOS’s built-in gaming mode.

Sadly, battery capacity, RAM and storage capacities, and display details will all have to wait until later. OnePlus claims that “in the coming weeks,” company will have a lot more to say about its upcoming flagship. We’re a little ahead of schedule with this launch compared to this time last year, so don’t be shocked if this item is on store shelves before you know it.
