No, the OnePlus 15 is not yet available in the US and the OnePlus site has not been updated with information when it arrives. But the OnePlus 13 might still be a better phone. It’s definitely cheaper.
You can pick up the base 12/256GB unit for $700 and the upgrade to 16/512GB is $100 more. Even though it’s a previous-gen chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite is still one of the fastest and the 6.82″ 1440p+ LTPO OLED is great.
The phone is equipped with three 50MP cameras on the back, including a main 1/1.43″ sensor and a 3x/73mm periscope. This part is arguably better than the OnePlus 15. The 6,000mAh battery on the older model won’t last as long as the 7,300mah on the new one (but with an active usage score of 15:28h, that’s a busy day).
Another alternative that steps outside the usual “Apple or Samsung” choices is the Nothing Phone (3). It’s slightly cheaper than the OnePlus at an equivalent memory tier and it shows. The Snapdragon 8S Gen 4 is a step down from the flagship level and so is the 6.67″ 1260p+ non-LTP OLED display.
The phone also has three 50MP cameras on the back, including a huge 1/1.3″ sensor in the main and a 3x periscope. Image quality isn’t quite at the level of the Hesbild-branded OnePlus camera, however (it’s the last of its kind, as the camera tech included in the 15. Min., compared to 95% of the OnePlus 13).
Note that both phones launched with Android 15 and nothing promises an OS update more than the OnePlus 4. Both phones are already running Android 16, so this is an update.
