First major OnePlus 15 price leak is great news for fans

We’ve already seen plenty of OnePlus 15 leaks ahead of its China launch next week, while OnePlus itself has also confirmed a few specs and features. Today, a tipster revealed the first major leak related to the price of this flagship Android phone.

Twitter tipster Arsène Lupine has claimed that the 16GB/512GB OnePlus 15 will cost £949 (~$1,270) in the UK. In contrast, the OnePlus 13 16GB/512GB had a recommended price of £999 (~$1,337) in the UK. So it looks like the OnePlus 15 equivalent could be £50 (~$67) cheaper if this latest leak is true.

The leaker did not, however, reveal pricing details for the expected 256GB model. For what it’s worth, the 256GB OnePlus 13 had an introductory price of £899 (~$1,203) in the market. If all storage variants get the same price cut, that would mean the base OnePlus 15 would start at £849 (~$1,136). A modest price drop would be encouraging news for the OnePlus 15, especially compared to competing phones from Google and Samsung.

Otherwise, the OnePlus 15 is confirmed to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 7,300mAh battery with 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, and a 165Hz OLED display. The company also says you should expect a 50MP triple rear camera system, including a 3.5x periscope lens.

The new flagship will be unveiled in China on October 27, and we expect the drip-feed of officially leaked features to continue until then. An earlier report also points to a November 13 launch in global markets. So you might not need to wait until the new year to get your hands on the phone.
