In an effort to enhance its smartphone lineup, OnePlus has launched its newest flagship devices, the OnePlus 15 and Ace 6, in a launch event held in China, indicating a significant advancement in both design and functionality.
A significant feature of this release is the shift to a flat display design. The OnePlus 15 features a 6.78-inch screen, marking a departure from the curved displays of its predecessors.
The Ace 6 offers a slightly larger 6.83-inch AMOLED display, with both models supporting an impressive 165Hz refresh rate.
Moreover, OnePlus has made substantial changes to its camera partnerships. The OnePlus 15 utilises Oppo's Lumo Imaging System, taking over from the previous collaboration with Hasselblad.
OnePlus 15 and OnePlus Ace 6 battery capacity
Improvements to battery performance are another key development, with the OnePlus 15 featuring a 7,300mAh battery and the Ace 6 coming with a 7,800mAh battery. The OnePlus 15 offers 120W wired and 50W wireless charging, while the Ace 6 only supports 120W wired charging.
