As for the cameras themselves, the phone is expected to bear a 50MP triple rear camera setup. Including a wide-angle, an ultrawide, and a periscope lens. Followed by a 32MP selfie shooter. But interestingly enough, OnePlus might be saying goodbye to its Hasselblad collaboration starting with its next flagship phone.

Up front, the OnePlus 15 could have a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED display. And it might also use LIPO (Low Injection Pressure Overmolding) technology to reduce bezel thickness. However, it could have a downgraded 1.5K resolution compared to the OnePlus 13’s 2K display.

Other than this, we expect the next flagship phone from OnePlus to feature all the usual stuff. Like an IP68/IP69 rating.
