OnePlus Unveils OnePlus Gaming Technology: A New Architecture for Elite Mobile Gaming
Press Release2025-11-13
OnePlus 15 delivers unrivaled performance, advanced camera capabilities, intelligent AI features, and the region’s biggest battery in a consumer smartphone
New York, NY, November 13, 2025 – Global technology brand OnePlus launched the highly anticipated OnePlus 15, defining a new standard for the ultimate performance flagship smartphone. OnePlus 15 integrates truly powerful performance, a professional-grade camera system, practical and personalized AI capabilities, and a refined iconic design. This synthesis of core advancements results in a fluid and dependable smartphone experience, ready to meet the demands of work, creativity, and daily life.
A New Era of Mobile Power
OnePlus has once again raised the bar for smartphone performance with the OnePlus 15, introducing an innovative triple-chip architecture that works in tandem to deliver unprecedented smoothness. At its core is the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, delivering state-of-the-art CPU and GPU performance for seamless multitasking and smooth, immersive gaming. It is joined by a dedicated touch response chip that enables an industry-leading 3,200Hz instant touch sampling for ultra-smooth visuals and unmatched responsiveness. Completing the trio is an independent Wi-Fi chip, engineered to provide stronger, more stable connections even in congested environments. Together, they work in synergy to ensure a consistently smooth and responsive experience across gaming, multimedia, and heavy multitasking scenarios.
Complementing the three specialized chips is the 360° Cryo-Velocity Cooling System. With aerospace-grade materials including aerogel insulation and white graphite, this advanced cooling system efficiently dissipates heat, providing the ability to maintain the stable, sustained performance required for ultimate fluency during extended gaming or intensive tasks.
With the OnePlus 15, OnePlus also introduces an industry-first 1.5K, 165Hz LTPO display, allowing retina-level clarity and ultra-smoothness together for the first time. With a high brightness mode (HBM) of 1,800 nits for excellent outdoor visibility and the ability to dim to one nit for comfortable nighttime viewing, the display is further certified by TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 5.0 for enhanced viewing comfort.
For gaming enthusiasts, the OnePlus 15 features a UAV-grade gyroscope with ±4000 DPS precision. This high-sensitivity sensor accurately translates subtle hand movements into precise in-game control, minimizing drift to maintain steady aim even when using high-magnification scopes.
Anchoring this exceptional performance is a groundbreaking 7,300mAh Silicon NanoStack Battery with 15 percent silicon content. Engineered for both endurance and reliability, it maintains over 80 percent health after four years and operates reliably even at -20°C. With 80W SUPERVOOC wired charging and 50W AIRVOOC wireless support, the OnePlus 15 ensures you can maintain peak performance throughout the day without interruption. OnePlus continues to provide a charging brick and cable in the box; users will get up to 80W wired charging in the U.S. and Canada, and up to 120W wired charging internationally.
Next-Gen Imaging: Ultra-Clarity Photography and Professional Videography
On the OnePlus 15, imaging ushers in a new chapter with the breakthrough DetailMax Engine working alongside a versatile triple 50MP camera array.
The hardware foundation includes a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization, a 50MP ultra-wide camera featuring autofocus for both expansive scenes and close-up macros, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5x optical zoom and 7x high-quality lossless zoom. The DetailMax Engine enhances this setup through intelligent computational photography, including Ultra Clear 26MP mode for capturing intricate details in daylight, Clear Burst for sharp action shots, and Clear Night Engine for cleaner low-light photography.
For video creation, the OnePlus 15 supports Android's one-and-only 4K, 120fps Dolby Vision recording, along with LOG support for flexible color grading and real-time LUT previews. These features provide users with enhanced flexibility and creative control when capturing and editing video content.
OxygenOS 16 Software with OnePlus AI and Google Gemini: Smarter Every Day, Smoother Every Way
OxygenOS 16 builds upon OnePlus' signature smart and smooth foundation by introducing intelligent AI capabilities, creating a more intuitive and efficient user experience.
The AI experience is centered around Plus Mind. By pressing the dedicated Plus Key on the left-hand side of the device, or swiping up with three fingers, users can instantly save any on-screen content to a unified Mind Space knowledge base. In addition, Google Gemini can now connect with Mind Space to pull information and provide personalized suggestions based on what you’ve saved, all in a single prompt. For example, users ask for help creating travel itineraries, and Gemini will connect with Mind Space to generate a personalized plan based on their own stored data.
Additional AI tools include AI Writer for content drafting and summarization, AI Recorder for real-time meeting transcription with speaker identification, and AI Portrait Glow for intelligent photo enhancement. In addition, users who purchase the OnePlus 15 can enjoy a three-month trial of Google AI Pro at no extra cost, which includes more access to new and powerful features in the Gemini app, higher usage limits in NotebookLM, and Gemini in Gmail, Docs and more, to enhance their productivity and creativity all in one plan from Google. This offer expires on August 1, 2026.
Fluidity remains at the core of the OxygenOS 16 experience with Parallel Processing 2.0, ensuring system-wide smoothness during app switching, navigation, and multitasking. The interface features seamless motion animations that provide visual previews of transitions, creating a naturally responsive feel. The Dual App Control feature enables simultaneous operation of two applications on a single screen, significantly enhancing productivity. These refinements deliver a consistently fluid experience that keeps pace with users' daily needs.
Elegant Design: Beauty That Endures
OnePlus elevates smartphone aesthetics with the OnePlus 15's sophisticated design approach, where every detail serves both form and function. The camera system is meticulously arranged with geometric precision. This commitment to harmony extends to the front of the device, where uniform 1.15mm ultra-slim bezels and rounded corners create a truly immersive viewing experience. This seamless design is made possible by advanced Low Injection Pressure Over-molding (LIPO) technology, which maximizes screen real estate while maintaining structural integrity.
The attention to detail extends to the overall form factor, featuring a flat frame with rounded edges complemented by optimized 50/50 weight distribution. This thoughtful engineering results in exceptional handling comfort, making the device feel natural and secure in the hand.
The OnePlus 15 is available in three premium finishes: Infinite Black with advanced AG glass, Sand Storm featuring a groundbreaking MAO-treated frame that's 3.4 times harder than conventional aluminum and 1.3 times more resilient than titanium, and Ultra Violet with a light-responsive dual-texture coating.
The OnePlus 15 also sets a new standard in flagship durability through its comprehensive IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications — the most complete protection system in the industry. This extensive rating system ensures exceptional resistance against dust, water immersion up to 2 meters for 30 minutes, and even high-pressure, high-temperature water jets up to 80 degrees Celsius, making the OnePlus 15 one of the most resilient flagship smartphones available.
Premium Accessories: Completing the Experience
Complementing the OnePlus 15 is a curated collection of premium accessories designed to enhance functionality and provide comprehensive protection.
The lineup includes magnetic-compatible cases in a range of finishes. Options feature the iconic Sandstone texture, a refined hole-pattern design, and lightweight aramid fiber, each incorporating a built-in magnetic ring for full compatibility with MagSafe accessories.
