OnePlus 15 & iQOO 15 India Launch Pages Live Now
The OnePlus 15 microsite confirms availability in Sand Storm and Absolute Black color options, while iQOO 15’s Amazon landing page reveals it will ship with Android 16-based OriginOS 6 custom skin out of the box—a first for Indian iQOO devices launching with the latest Android version.
Launch Timeline & Specifications
| Device | India Launch | Processor | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| OnePlus 15 | November 13, 2025 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 | 7,300mAh battery, 165Hz LTPO display |
| iQOO 15 | November 2025 | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 | OriginOS 6, Amazon Specials product |
OnePlus 15: What to Expect
The OnePlus 15 debuts with a massive 7,300mAh third-generation “Glacier Battery” rated to retain 80% capacity after 1,600 charge cycles—significantly higher than industry standards. It supports 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, eliminating battery anxiety for power users.
Display specifications include a 6.78-inch BOE X3 LIPO 2.5D panel with 1.5K resolution, adaptive 1-165Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness reaching 1,800 nits. The screen features just 1.15mm bezels with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and 2,160Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort.
The camera setup includes a triple-lens system with optical image stabilization on main and telephoto lenses, paired with OnePlus’s proprietary DetailMax imaging engine for improved clarity and natural-looking photographs through advanced processing algorithms.
iQOO 15: OriginOS 6 Confirmed for India
The iQOO 15’s Amazon landing page confirms the device will launch with Android 16-based OriginOS 6 custom skin—making it one of the first smartphones globally to ship with Android 16 out of the box. This represents a significant software advantage for early adopters.
As an Amazon Specials product, the iQOO 15 will initially be sold exclusively through Amazon India before expanding to other retailers. The device already launched in China on October 20, with standard variants available immediately and special editions like the Wilderness Edition following on October 31.
Pricing & Availability
While official Indian pricing hasn’t been announced, the OnePlus 15 is expected to be priced between ₹65,000 and ₹79,999 based on early estimates. The iQOO 15 will likely position itself slightly lower to compete with mid-premium flagships from Xiaomi, Realme, and Samsung.
Both devices represent significant upgrades with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s performance improvements, larger batteries addressing the biggest smartphone complaint, and displays with higher refresh rates and brightness levels suited for India’s sunny climate.
Why November Launches Matter
The November launch timeline is strategic—both brands skip Diwali sales but arrive ahead of year-end shopping seasons and New Year purchases. OnePlus previously launched the OnePlus 13 in January 2025, meaning the OnePlus 15 arrives 2-3 months earlier, indicating the company’s urgency to capture flagship market share.
