No Hasselblad in OnePlus 15? New leak reveals big OnePlus camera update
Here we go again! The rumoured OnePlus 15, said to be the successor to the OnePlus 13, will reportedly launch without the Hasselblad branding. And this isn't the first time we've heard something like this about OnePlus and Hasselblad parting ways. Before the launch of the OnePlus 13, it was widely speculated that the company would be ending its partnership with Hasselblad, and the OnePlus 13 would launch without the Hasselblad branding. However, that didn't happen, and the OnePlus 13 featured a triple-rear camera system, once again tuned in collaboration with Hasselblad. That said, this time around, it's looking more likely that the partnership may actually come to an end.advertisementAccording to Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will not feature Hasselblad-tuned cameras and will instead adopt a new in-house imaging engine, much like what OPPO has done with its recent launches, the Find X8 and Find X8 Ultra in China. Both those phones use OPPO's proprietary Lumo imaging engine.Apart from this, the leak also highlights some of the key specifications of the OnePlus 15. It appears the company might scale things back on the display front, with the OnePlus 15 said to sport a 6.78-inch flat AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution — a step-down from the 6.82-inch quad-curved AMOLED screen with 2K resolution found on the OnePlus 13. The upside here is the flat display. Much like the OnePlus 13R, this move could be seen as a practical choice. While some might consider it a downgrade — and as good as quad-curved screens are (certainly better than older sloping-curved panels) — a flat display often proves more usable in day-to-day scenarios.advertisement
Also, in case you're wondering why OnePlus is skipping the number 14 and naming the next flagship the OnePlus 15 instead, it's because the number 4 is considered unlucky in Chinese culture. That's why the company is expected to jump straight from 13 to 15 for its next major release.The OnePlus 15 is also rumoured to retain the triple 50-megapixel rear camera setup from the OnePlus 13, including a primary sensor, an ultra-wide, and a periscope telephoto lens. On the performance side, the phone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm's next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which is likely to be unveiled at the Snapdragon Summit in September.Earlier leaks have also claimed that the OnePlus 15 will pack the largest battery ever in a flagship phone — reportedly over 7,000mAh — with support for 100W wired and wireless charging. The phone is also said to come with an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, just like the OnePlus 13.The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch in China by the end of this year, followed by a global release — including India — in early 2026. To recall, the OnePlus 13 was launched in India earlier this year, on January 7, at a starting price of Rs 69,999.
