Our in-depth OnePlus 15 review provides detailed insights, alongside a dedicated camera comparison with the OnePlus 13.
Looking at the specifications, the OnePlus 15 replaces the OnePlus 13 with the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and boasts a significant jump in battery capacity—from 6,000mAh to 7,300mAh. Notably, this enhancement applies to all markets including Europe, a relief in these fragmented times.

However, there is a notable drawback: all three rear cameras have seen sensor downgrades. The 50MP main sensor is now 1/1.56” (previously 1/1.43”), the telephoto camera extends its zoom slightly to 3.5x (80mm) but has a smaller 50MP sensor (1/2.76” vs. 1/1.95”), and the ultra-wide camera has a narrower 116° field of view (down from 120°), along with a smaller sensor (1/2.88” compared to 1/2.75”).
On the display front, the 6.78” OLED LTPO screen now supports a faster 165Hz refresh rate (up from 120Hz), but the resolution drops to 1272 x 2772 pixels from 1440 x 3168 pixels, resulting in a reduced pixel density of 450ppi compared to the previous 510ppi.

The OnePlus 15 enters the market competing with other high-end devices running Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Dimensity 9500 chipsets, many of which are making their way to global markets. Several competitors feature advanced 200MP sensors in their telephoto cameras — surpassing the OnePlus 15’s sensor specs.
For context, the vivo X300 Pro retails at approximately €1,400 for the 16GB/512GB model — €300 more than the OnePlus 15. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13 remains available at a lower price than the new model.
