All rear cameras in the OnePlus 15 have been downgraded compared to the OnePlus 13

The main camera has been downgraded from LYT808 (1/1.4") to IMX906 (1/1.56"), the ultra wide from JN5 (1/2.75") to OV50D (1/2.88"), and the telephoto from IMX882 (1/1.95") to JN5 (1/2.75"); for the telephoto, the OnePlus 13’s IMX882 had a 50cm minimum focus distance, while the OnePlus 15’s JN5 has 30cm, which is still insufficient for quality tele macro shots at 85mm, where around 15cm is needed

OnePlus used the older OV50D (1/2.88") for the ultra wide instead of the newer OV50M (1/2.88") used in the Xiaomi 17 series; sensor quality ranks as JN5 > OV50M > OV50D. Notably, the realme GT8 Pro also uses OV50D for its ultra wide, suggesting shared resources within the OPPO group

The front camera is now an IMX709 (1/2.74") versus the OnePlus 13’s IMX615 (1/2.74"); both are comparable, but the OnePlus 15 adds autofocus for the front camera

However, improved image processing in the OnePlus 15 may help mitigate the impact of these hardware downgrades to some extent

OnePlus claims the OnePlus 15 reduces display power consumption by 10% compared to its predecessors with an equivalent resolution (2K). Additional power savings come from its lower 1.5K resolution

The RAM and the ROM are both Samsung-sourced. The RAM uses LPDDR5X Ultra specifications with speeds up to 10667Mbps. The ROM on the left is UFS4.1. Below the RAM is the flagship 5th-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition (8Elite Gen 5) SoC, and above the ROM is the in-house developed gaming network chip G2.

Top speaker uses the AAC 1510 (15x10=150mm²) specification with a full metal package and is filled with N'Bass® acoustic enhancement material. Compared to the previous generation's full metal package 1012H (10x12=120²), it is larger and has improved overall performance

This is the first time that OnePlus has adopted sound units with the same specifications on the top and bottom. Compared with the previous generation 1012H (10x12=120mm²) + 1115E (11x15=165mm²) combination, this generation is definitely more balanced in terms of listening experience

The whole machine is equipped with three microphones, one less rear microphone than the previous generation. The placement logic of the three microphones is slightly different from the conventional solution of placing one on the top and one on the bottom. OnePlus 15 adopts the arrangement of one on the top and two on the bottom. There is no sound receiving hole on the back of the fuselage (rear side)

The two bottom microphone sound receiving holes are deliberately made into a long strip to distinguish them from the card ejection hole to prevent incorrect insertion

The X-axis linear motor uses the same AAC ESA0816 specification (third-generation technology) as its big brother Find X9 Pro. The overall performance is approximately equal to the larger ESA1016 (third-generation technology), which is slightly better than ESA7514A (third-generation technology). However, it is still a little behind the previous generation CSA+0916Turbo (CSA0916B fourth-generation technology). Refer to the diagram below for the rankings

The battery is the dual-cell single-port solution, this glacier battery also uses anew generation of spherical silicon-carbon negative electrode material. The silicon content has been increased to 15%, and the capacity has reached an equivalent of 7300mAh (27.6Wh), which is 1300mAh (4.68Wh) higher than the previous generation. The manufacturer is still Dongguan Xinnengde — ATL battery cell. The energy density is calculated through the packaging size to be around 823Wh/L, which is slightly higher than the previous generation's 790Wh/L
