The wait is over for OnePlus fans. In an official announcement that has set the tech world abuzz, OnePlus has confirmed the launch date for its next-generation smartphone series in China. The spotlight is firmly on two highly anticipated devices: the flagship OnePlus 15 and the performance-oriented OnePlus Ace 6.
The news comes straight from the top, with OnePlus President Louis Lee taking to the popular Chinese social media platform Weibo to make the announcement. For enthusiasts eagerly tracking the successor to the OnePlus 13, the roadmap is now clear.
The Official Launch Date is Set
Mark your calendars for October 27. This is the day the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 will make their debut in the Chinese market. Lee’s post, which you can see for yourself below, has generated significant excitement, confirming the timeline that many industry insiders had only speculated about until now.
OnePlus President Louis Lee officially confirmed the October 27 launch date on his Weibo account.
The big question on the minds of international fans, however, remains: when will these phones launch globally? Unfortunately, the company has yet to reveal a worldwide release schedule. If we look to recent history as a guide, the OnePlus 13 launched in China in October 2024 but didn't reach the US market until January 2025. There is a silver lining, though. Persistent rumors suggest that OnePlus is working to streamline its global distribution, and the OnePlus 15 could see a much shorter wait time, potentially arriving before the end of the year.
OnePlus 15: Flagship Power Refined
The OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be a true powerhouse, built to compete at the very top of the smartphone food chain. OnePlus has confirmed several key specifications that promise a significant generational leap.
- Display: The device will feature a stunning BOE X3 Oriental display with a 1.5K resolution and a buttery-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. This combination should offer exceptional clarity and responsiveness, perfect for gaming, scrolling, and media consumption.
- Processor: At its heart will be the next-generation Sndragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, Qualcomm's most powerful chipset. Early performance indicators are incredibly promising. A recent Geekbench listing for the OnePlus 15 showed a roughly 20% boost in both single-core and multi-core tests compared to the already-speedy OnePlus 13.
- Design: The design of the OnePlus 15 was partially revealed a few weeks ago, continuing the company's signature camera housing language with subtle refinements for a more premium feel.
OnePlus Ace 6: A Performance Juggernaut with a Bold New Look
While the OnePlus 15 claims the flagship throne, the OnePlus Ace 6 is positioned as a more affordable yet incredibly capable alternative. It’s the phone for those who prioritize raw performance and battery life without breaking the bank.
Alongside the launch date confirmation, we've also been treated to our first official look at the Ace 6's design, and it marks a clear departure from its predecessor.
- Performance & Battery: The Ace 6 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor (the previous generation's flagship chip), ensuring top-tier performance. It will also share the same fluid 165Hz screen as its more expensive sibling. Where it truly aims to dominate is in battery life. Recent leaks have suggested the Ace 6 could pack a massive 7,800mAh battery, supported by blazing-fast 120W wired charging. If true, this would set a new standard for endurance in its category.
- Design Revolution: Gone is the circular camera module of the Ace 5. Instead, the OnePlus Ace 6 features a sleek, pill-shaped camera module that stretches across the top of the phone's back. The leaked image shows the device in a stylish silver finish, with rumors also pointing to classic white and black colorways. The module appears to house a dual-camera system, likely omitting the telephoto lens found on the flagship OnePlus 15 to keep costs down.
For those outside of China, this device is particularly interesting. It is widely expected that the OnePlus Ace 6 will be rebranded as the OnePlus 15R for international markets, following the company's established naming pattern.
The Stage is Set for an Exciting Launch
With the October 27 date locked in, the countdown to the next OnePlus launch event has officially begun. The OnePlus 15 is poised to be a top contender in the 2025 flagship race, while the OnePlus Ace 6 (or 15R) looks set to redefine what we expect from a "affordable flagship" with its monstrous battery and aggressive performance.
Stay tuned for our full coverage of the launch event as we bring you all the official details, pricing, and hands-on impressions.
