The OnePlus 15 is gradually building hype as fresh leaks and certifications hint at major hardware upgrades over its predecessor, the OnePlus 13. A new listing on a certification website suggests that the upcoming flagship could bring significantly faster wired charging, a powerful Snapdragon chipset, and a new approach to imaging.
Certification
According to a report by XpertPick, a OnePlus device bearing the model number CPH2747 has been spotted on the IECEE certification database. While OnePlus hasn’t officially confirmed anything yet, the listing reveals support for a 121W charging adapter, strongly indicating that the OnePlus 15 will support 120W fast charging.
If true, this marks a noticeable improvement over the OnePlus 13, which supported 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. Faster charging has always been a hallmark of OnePlus devices, and the bump to 120W would align the OnePlus 15 with some of the fastest-charging smartphones in the market.
Battery
Another exciting development is the battery capacity. Rumours suggest the OnePlus 15 could feature a massive 7,000mAh battery or higher. That’s a major upgrade from the 6,000mAh unit found in the OnePlus 13. If both the battery and charging speed improve, users can expect all-day performance with significantly shorter top-up times.
Performance
Performance-wise, the OnePlus 15 has reportedly made an appearance on the Geekbench benchmark platform with a different model number, PLK110. The benchmark data points to Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chip — the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
The chipset reportedly features:
- Two high-performance cores clocked at 4.61GHz
- Six efficiency cores clocked at 3.63GHz
This aligns with previous rumours suggesting the OnePlus 15 will get a notable power bump over the Snapdragon 8 Elite used in the OnePlus 13.
The previous model also featured an Adreno 830 GPU, LPDDR5x RAM up to 24GB, and storage options up to 1TB of UFS 4.0. Expect the OnePlus 15 to carry similar, if not improved, hardware configurations.
Camera
While the rear camera system may not see a major hardware overhaul, there’s one important change. The OnePlus 15 is expected to retain a triple rear setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor. But instead of relying on Hasselblad tuning, OnePlus may introduce its own in-house image processing engine.
This could mean better photo consistency, AI enhancements, and image tuning more tailored to OnePlus’s own vision. Additionally, leaks suggest a new square-shaped camera island on the back, moving away from the familiar circular module design seen in the OnePlus 13 and its predecessors.
What to Expect
If these leaks and certifications are accurate, the OnePlus 15 could be a serious upgrade in the areas that matter most — battery, charging, performance, and design. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Feature | OnePlus 13 | OnePlus 15 (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Chipset | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 |
| Battery | 6,000mAh | 7,000mAh+ |
| Charging | 100W wired, 50W wireless | 120W wired (no wireless info) |
| Camera | 50MP triple, Hasselblad | 50MP triple, in-house engine |
| Design | Circular camera island | Square camera island |
With a balance of proven camera hardware and new in-house image software, along with a major leap in charging and battery tech, the OnePlus 15 could hit a sweet spot for performance-focused users.
All eyes will now be on OnePlus for an official announcement. Until then, it’s wise to treat these details as speculative but promising signs of what’s to come.
