Oftentimes, the thought that smartphone technology is plateauing comes to mind. All that you can see companies concentrating on, of late, is artificial intelligence, and it seems nothing much is happening on other fronts. But that’s not the case with OnePlus, which has taken on the smartphone world with a different approach. The OnePlus 15, launched recently, touts a mammoth 7300 mAh battery, which early reviews suggest can go up to two days on normal usage.
The latest flagship-level phone from OnePlus is not only dependent on its battery life, in fact, it is escalating things on many other fronts. The major transition is in favour of performance, and the OEM is substantiating that with its AI capabilities, durability, and optical prowess. So, what are we getting with the new and technically most advanced smartphone on the market? Let’s figure out in a little detail below.
Designer: OnePlus
Obviously, the battery is the biggest selling point. But the phone’s processing power is something to talk about. The new OnePlus 15 features a triple-chip architecture, which is spearheaded by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset that powers the functions on the phone. The architecture of the phone is targeted at speed, for which it is facilitated by a touch-response chip capable of 3200 Hz instant sampling, while the connectivity for the power and speed is handled by the phone’s independent Wi-Fi chip.
The octa-core processor of the OnePlus 15 is paired with an Adreno 840 GPU, while it comes in three storage variants: 256GB with 12 or 16GB RAM, 512 GB internal storage variant with 12 or 16GB RAM, and a solitary 1TB model with 16 GB RAM. The company says, a reworked 360 Cryo-Velocity system is designed to take care of the cooling on this high-performance phone. For this, it uses aerogel insulation and white graphite that help in stabilizing temperatures during excessive gaming or on a workday that refuses to come to an end.
On the construction front, the OnePlus 15 features a smooth 1.15mm bezel and comprises a flat frame, which is rounded on the edges. The phone comes in Sand Storm, Ultra Violet, and the more recognizable Infinite Black colorway. The phone’s durability, of course, is assured by up to an IP69K rating that safeguards the handset against temperature variations, dust, and water.
OnePlus 15 is billed as the first phone to feature a 1.5K 165Hz LTPO display with retina-level clarity. The panel boasts up to 1800 nits peak brightness. Designed to run OxygenOS 16 out of the box, the device’s 7300mAh Silicon NanoStack Battery is designed for longevity (it can hold over 80 percent health even after four years of continuous usage, the company claims). The battery is charged with the 120W SUPERVOOC charger that promises to provide a full charge in around 39 minutes.
This new phone from OnePlus is a trendsetter in the optics department as well. The phone features a DetailMax Engine combined with a triple 50MP camera setup. Claimed to be the first Android smartphone capable of 4K 120fps Dolby Vision recording, it’s triple array includes a 50MP OIS main sensor, a 50MP autofocus ultra-wide camera, and a third 50MP periscope telephoto shooter. If you are thinking of upgrading to a new Android phone, there shouldn’t be a reason the OnePlus 15 is not on your list. This flagship starts at $999 and is now available in most international markets.
