Camera
The phone has a 50MP Sony sensor for the main camera, OIS, 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP 3.5x periscope telephoto lens and a 85mm portrait lens. There is a 32MP RGBW front camera.

Key features of the engine include:
- Ultra-Clear 26MP mode: This mode combines data from multi-frame 12MP shots with a single 50MP high-resolution frame. The resulting 26MP photo is designed to offer improved clarity, particularly in complex textures like foliage and fabrics, while maintaining a practical file size.
- Clear Burst: This feature improves on previous models by shooting at 10 frames per second, up from 6fps on the OnePlus 13. It utilizes dual-exposure anti-blur technology, capturing both short and long exposures simultaneously to freeze motion while retaining detail.
- Clear Night Engine: For low-light photography, this engine employs Dual Analog Gain technology to eliminate timing gaps between exposures. The stated result is brighter, cleaner, and more natural-looking night photos with reduced noise.
Design and Durability
The OnePlus 15 maintains the brand’s focus on design with three announced color finishes:
- Infinite Black: Features a premium frosted glass back, offering a deep, matte finish intended to resist fingerprints.
- Sand Storm: Combines a lightweight fiberglass composite back panel with a micro-arc oxidized (MAO) metal frame. The company indicates this advanced ceramic-grade coating is 1.3 times harder than a titanium mid-frame, aimed at enhancing durability.
- Ultra Violet: This option utilizes a dual-layer optical coating that shifts from violet to sapphire depending on the light source.
It has IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K ratings, so it can withstand water immersion at a depth of 2m for 30 min and high-pressure water jets at temperatures up to 80°C.
