TL; DR
  • First unboxing of the OnePlus 15 reveals aerospace-grade nano-metallic unibody, ceramic finish, and Sand Storm color
  • 100W fast charger included in China (India also expected); box also has red cable and color-matched case
  • The OnePlus 15 will launch in China early October, with an India/global launch expected in late October/early November 

The OnePlus 15 has already appeared in an unboxing video from China, and it confirms the phone’s design and in-box contents in detail. The handset comes with an aerospace-grade nano-metallic unibody, enhanced with a ceramic coating applied via micro-arc oxidation. 

The new Sand Storm color stands out with a premium matte finish, giving the device a refined and distinctive look. The phone appears slightly wider than the previous model, and a deep black variant is also expected.

OnePlus 15: What’s Inside the Box

Inside the Chinese retail box, buyers will find a 100W fast charger, the signature red cable, and a color-matched case. While the charger may not be included in the European package, the unboxing shows that OnePlus is still providing a premium first-hand experience in China (also expected in India and NA). 

OnePlus 15 Key Specifications 

The phone also impresses in subtle design details: the 1.15 mm ultra-slim bezels and the golden arc corner design align the display corners with the camera module rings, giving the device a cohesive and polished look—an underrated but noticeable touch.

On the hardware side, the OnePlus 15 will feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. The display is a 1.5K panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate, paired with an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner as well. It’s going to be a completely flat display this time around.

Battery life is expected to be amazing, with a massive 7,500 mAh capacity combined with 100W fast charging, making it one of the largest and fastest-charging batteries in the flagship space.

OnePlus 15 Expected Launch Date and Pricing
