According to a new rumor from China, the OnePlus 15 will launch in the country in October, but not alone. It will allegedly be unveiled alongside the Ace 6 (and possibly the Ace 6 Pro as well), which is an interesting change in strategy for the brand, which last year unveiled the OnePlus 13 in October and the Ace 5 in December.
But wait, there’s more. For quite some time now, the OnePlus 15 has been rumored to downgrade to a “1.5K” screen resolution, and lose the Hasselblad camera collaboration. It should compensate for that with the best battery life ever on a OnePlus flagship. And it might be joined by a OnePlus 15 Pro, though this could be coming later down the line, possibly around December.

The OnePlus 15 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 SoC (model number SM8850) which Qualcomm is announcing in September, but the Ace 6 will apparently use the yet-unnamed SM8845, which may or may not end up being called Snapdragon 8s Gen 5.
This will reportedly be unveiled alongside the 8 Elite 2, representing a small step down from that chip, with performance that’s just below that of the original Snapdragon 8 Elite. The OnePlus Ace 6 is said to be the first device using this chip.
