Tipster DCS suggests that the SM8850 device will feature a 6.78-inch flat LTPO display with 1.5K resolution, a shift away from the curved 2K screen seen on the OnePlus 13. This new flat design reportedly uses a large-radius corner layout, which gives it a look that’s quite similar to the iPhone’s front design.

It’s also said to use LIPO packaging technology, which could help achieve ultra-slim bezels and better symmetry across the front. The goal here seems to be a cleaner, edge-to-edge screen that feels more minimal and lightweight, much like recent iPhones.

On the performance side, the phone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. Camera-wise, the OnePlus 15 might come with a 50MP triple rear camera setup and previous reports have hinted at a 200MP periscope telephoto sensor for impressive zoom capabilities.

The leak also mentions that the phone will continue with a simple and lightweight design.

While there aren’t many other details yet, it’s believed the phone could be backed by a 6,500mAh+ battery, which would be a major boost for battery life.
