While the company has not yet confirmed the India launch date, the phone is anticipated to debut in China in October 2025. The Indian launch is expected in January 2026, mirroring the January launch of the OnePlus 14.

Design leaks show a redesigned rear panel, with a rectangular camera island positioned in the upper right corner, replacing the signature circular camera module. This design could resemble the recently launched OnePlus 13s.

OnePlus confirmed at the Snapdragon Summit that the OnePlus 15 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Leaked specifications suggest a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED flat display with curved edges and 1.15mm thin bezels. The display is expected to have a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1.5K resolution. The phone is likely to run on Android 16 with OxygenOS 16, with the promise of 5 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patches. Rumors also point to a large 7,300mAh silicon-carbon battery with 50W wireless and 100W wired charging. The camera setup may include a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom.

**Display Quality**
The better the phone’s display, the smoother the experience. AMOLED or OLED screens, a 120Hz refresh rate, and FHD+ resolution are standard today. Even if you’re buying a phone in the 10,000 to 15,000 range, these features are important to consider.

**Camera Setup**
Don’t just focus on megapixels when buying a phone. Features like the camera’s sensor, aperture, and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) matter more. If you’re a photography enthusiast, opt for a setup with telephoto and ultra-wide lenses. Also, pay attention to the selfie camera and its sensor.

**Set a Budget**
First, determine your budget. Phones are available in the market ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 1.5 lakh. Choosing the right option based on your needs and pocket is most important. Select a phone according to your needs and budget.

**RAM and Storage**
At least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage are considered essential today. Moreover, if you’re buying a phone in the 20,000 segment, buy a phone with at least 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This will allow you to store more photos, videos, and apps on your phone, and the phone will not lag.

**Battery and Fast Charging**
Phones now come with fast charging, and a 5000mAh battery has become common. A phone with 65W or more fast charging support will save you from frequent charging. Also, if you use the phone a lot, you can also get a phone with more battery capacity.

**Operating System and Updates**
Make sure the phone comes with the latest version, such as Android 15 or iOS 18. Along with this, regular security and software updates for 3-4 years are necessary. If you’re buying a phone for more than 20-30 thousand, you should avoid buying one with 2 years of OS updates. Try to get at least 4 years of OS updates in the phone.

**5G and Build Quality**
In 2025, 5G has become an essential feature. Also, features like Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and eSIM support make the phone future-ready. Also, keep the design and sturdiness of the phone in mind. Glass or metal bodies give a premium feel. Also, a phone with IP67 or IP68 rating is protected from water and dust.

The right lens houses a discreet, bright display situated just below the eye line, capable of showcasing text, images, live video calls, and more. The display activates only when the user interacts with the glasses, ensuring privacy. An LED indicator signals when the camera is in use.

The unveiling of these glasses was announced by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during the Meta Connect event held on Wednesday.

Zuckerberg emphasized the potential of glasses as a form factor to allow AI to perceive the user’s environment, incorporating both visual and auditory information, and eventually generating content such as images or video. This statement was made at the tech giant’s headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
