OnePlus 15 Design Leak Hints at Launch Date
▼ Summary
– OnePlus has revealed a new Sand Dune colorway and details about the OnePlus 15’s build through images on Weibo.
– The phone features an aerospace-grade “Nano-ceramic Metal” midframe with curved edges for improved comfort.
– An image shows October 27 on the display, strongly hinting at a potential launch date in China.
– OnePlus confirmed the device will use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a 165Hz display.
– It remains unclear if the global launch will coincide with the China release, as OnePlus typically staggers international rollouts.
The launch date for the highly anticipated OnePlus 15 may have been subtly revealed by the company itself through a recent social media post. Newly shared images not only showcase a previously unseen “Sand Dune” color option but also provide a detailed look at the phone’s construction and what appears to be a launch date displayed on its screen.
Following its initial appearance at the Snapdragon Summit in China and an early hands-on review by a popular tech YouTuber, OnePlus has now released a comprehensive set of official images on Weibo. These promotional materials highlight the device from various angles, emphasizing its design and build quality. The company states the OnePlus 15 will incorporate an aerospace-grade “Nano-ceramic Metal” midframe, engineered with gently curved edges to improve in-hand comfort.
One of the most telling images shows the phone’s display clearly indicating the date October 27. This strongly suggests the new flagship will make its official debut on that day in the Chinese market. This aligns perfectly with existing industry rumors that pointed toward an October release window. Adding further credibility, pre-orders for the device have already commenced in China, signaling that the official announcement is imminent. OnePlus has also officially confirmed that the smartphone will be equipped with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor and will feature a display with a remarkably smooth 165Hz refresh rate.
While this evidence is compelling, it is important to note that this remains speculative until OnePlus makes a formal announcement. The company has not yet officially confirmed the specific launch date. Another question mark hangs over the global release schedule. OnePlus has a history of staggering its product launches across different regions. Although the Chinese market typically gets first access, the company is not expected to delay the international rollout for an extended period, meaning customers in the US and other markets likely won’t have a long wait after the initial China launch.
