Rising RAM and semiconductor costs push Oppo, OnePlus, Vivo, and iQoo to raise prices on several smartphones in China, effective March 18, with potential global ripple effects though no international price hikes announced yet.
OnePlus confirms the 15T will feature a 7,500mAh battery (20% larger than its predecessor) with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, plus bypass charging to reduce heat during heavy use. It outperforms the Xiaomi 17 Pro (6,300mAh) and Vivo X300 (6,040mAh), and is larger than the standard OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh. Rumors peg a March China release, with a 6.3-inch 1.5K display at 165Hz and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset; camera details and launch specifics are still leaking.
OnePlus has officially confirmed its next compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T, a successor to the 13T. A March launch is rumored, with no formal specs yet; leaks suggest a 6.32-inch 1.5K display, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a dual 50MP camera setup (main + telephoto), a 16MP selfie camera, and a battery around 7,500mAh. In some markets outside China it may arrive as the OnePlus 15s.
A CNET battery-life study of 35 US smartphones during 2025 finds Apple and OnePlus as the top brands, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max taking first place overall thanks to efficiency and software optimization despite not having the largest battery (5,088 mAh). The iPhone 17 ties for second with OnePlus 15; Poco F7 Ultra is third, and iPhone 17 Pro fourth. Tests used a 3-hour full-brightness Wi‑Fi video stream and a 45-minute endurance cycle combining gaming, video, and calls; the iPhone 17 Pro Max also led the endurance test, while Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold performed well in that phase. Brand rankings placed Apple first, OnePlus second, followed by Motorola, Samsung, and Google.
CNET tested 35 phones in 2025 to determine which last the longest on a single charge, with Apple and OnePlus leading the pack. The iPhone 17 Pro Max topped the rankings, with other top-five spots claimed by iPhone and OnePlus models; several OnePlus phones use silicon-carbon batteries, and the Poco F7 Ultra also ranked highly. Overall, battery life improved only modestly vs 2024 as brands pursue efficiency gains.
ASUS confirms it will stop making smartphones to focus on AI-powered PCs, robotics, and smart glasses, while promising continued support for existing devices. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup is tipped for a Feb 25 reveal with late February–early March pre-orders and a March 11 sale, with hints of more color options for the S26 Ultra. OnePlus rumors of a shutdown are debunked. Honor launches the Magic8 Pro Air (6.3” display, 5,500mAh, advanced cameras). TENAA leaks outline Galaxy A57 specs. The iQOO 15 Ultra hits a new AnTuTu high thanks to a massive cooling fan. Rumors suggest iPhone 18 Pro LTPO+ OLEDs with a hidden IR Face ID camera, potentially shrinking the notch. Redmi’s Turbo 5 Max teased with a 9,000mAh battery and Dimensity 9500s.
OnePlus says it’s not going anywhere and will continue to operate as usual as it shifts to a leaner, more focused strategy under OPPO. While IDC notes wind‑down rumors are plausible given OnePlus’ declining share, there’s no evidence of a shutdown, and the brand is keeping a presence in key markets like India and China, with mid‑range devices such as the Nord 5/CE5 and the OnePlus 15R/15 series continuing to sell well there. In North America, the brand’s footprint remains modest, and OPPO is consolidating codebases (ColorOS/OxygenOS) and tightening its product lineup rather than pursuing a broad global relaunch.}
A report citing Android Headlines says OnePlus is nearing collapse as shipments plunge, headquarters close, partnerships end, and products are canceled. 2024 sales fell about 20% to 13–14 million, with India and China accounting for 74% of sales and showing sharp market-share declines; US/Europe operations have dwindled (Dallas HQ shuttered, Palo Alto team small) and devices like the Open 2 and 15s have been canceled. Oppo’s financing moves haven’t revived the business, and a Taiwan arrest warrant for the OnePlus CEO adds to the turmoil.
Taiwan's Shilin district prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for OnePlus CEO Pete Lau and two Taiwanese colleagues, accusing them of illegally recruiting more than 70 engineers across Taiwan since 2014 in a bid to curb China-linked talent poaching and protect intellectual property, in violation of the Act Governing Relations Between the People of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area.
Leaked images reveal the design of OnePlus's upcoming 'Turbo' series, aimed at gaming with a focus on large batteries, potentially up to 9,000 mAh, featuring a design similar to the OnePlus 15 but thicker and in light green. The devices may be released outside China, but details are still uncertain.
The article argues that OnePlus has shifted from its rebellious, experimental roots to a more polished, mainstream approach with the OnePlus 15, featuring a new design language, improved performance, and a focus on trust and polish, even as some fans miss the old charm and unique features like the alert slider.
