The leak points to a major redesign for the OnePlus 15 with a square camera island featuring a pill-shaped cutout for two sensors plus a separated third camera and flash, alongside rumored flagship specs and an October China-first launch window.
What leaked
- A real-world group photo from a Chinese esports event appears to intentionally showcase an unreleased OnePlus phone with a new square camera module and distinct two-plus-one lens layout.
- Multiple reports describe the module as a rounded-square island: two cameras inside a pill cutout, a separate third lens, and an LED flash, replacing the circular design used on recent models.
- Early images suggest new lighter colorways (including white and pink/rose tones) alongside darker finishes.
Design changes
- The camera block moves to a squared, top-left layout and away from the off-center circular ring seen on recent OnePlus flagships.
- Leaks mention a flat display with slim bezels and a premium matte frame finish; materials and coatings remain unconfirmed and may vary by market.
Camera expectations
- Rumors point to a triple 50MP system (main, ultra-wide, telephoto) in the new two-plus-one arrangement.
- Branding may shift away from Hasselblad, with talk of an in-house imaging engine replacing co-branded tuning.
Core specs rumored
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 class chipset is expected, placing the device among late-2025 Android flagships.
- Display rumors center on a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED at 1.5K resolution with up to 165 Hz refresh rate.
- Battery leaks frequently cite around 7,000 mAh with 100–120W wired and 50W wireless charging, though exact figures are unconfirmed.
Launch timeline
- A China reveal is widely tipped for October 2025, with broader availability, including India and global markets, likely in late 2025 to early 2026.
Bottom line
- The “early look” strongly signals a fresh, squared camera island with a pill-plus-single lens layout and a shift in imaging branding.
- If leaks hold, expect next-gen Qualcomm silicon, a super-fast LTPO display up to 165 Hz, and a large battery, with a staggered China-first launch.
