The release of the highly anticipated OnePlus 15 smartphone is just around the corner, with an official unveiling expected in the coming month. While the device has not been officially reviewed yet, a sneak peek has surfaced courtesy of YouTuber Geekerwan. In a brief six-minute video, the focus is primarily on the phone’s gaming capabilities, offering a glimpse into what the successor to the OnePlus 13 has to offer.
Geekerwan’s video provides an early look at the OnePlus 15, showcasing its gaming performance and highlighting some of its key specifications. One notable feature is the inclusion of Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, setting the stage for a showdown with Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and its powerful A19 pro chip.
OnePlus 15 benchmarks
Initial benchmark results suggest that the OnePlus 15 outperforms the iPhone 17 Pro Max in multi-core performance but falls short in single-core tests. While the new CPU in the OnePlus 15 is slightly less efficient than the iPhone’s, the GPU performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip surpasses Apple’s latest offering in 3DMark benchmarks and efficiency tests.
When put to the test in real-world gaming scenarios, such as Honkai Star Rail, the OnePlus 15 comes close to achieving a smooth 60fps gameplay experience, rivaling the performance of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, it is worth noting that the power consumption and operating temperature of the OnePlus 15 are slightly higher than those of Apple’s flagship device.

165Hz display
One standout feature of the OnePlus 15 is its impressive 165Hz refresh rate display. This enhanced refresh rate not only provides a more responsive experience but also offers advantages in games like Crossfire and Delta Force. The increasing support for 165Hz refresh rates, especially in competitive gaming, indicates a promising future for this technology.
While the review only offers a glimpse of the OnePlus 15’s display, it confirms the device’s potential as a powerhouse in terms of performance and gaming capabilities. Mobile gamers can look forward to an exciting year ahead with the OnePlus 15.
