- OnePlus has shared display information for the upcoming OnePlus 13
- Highlights include a 165Hz refresh rate and 1.15mm bezels.
- OnePlus 13 expected to launch in China before October 31
The OnePlus 15 is on the way: The Chinese Android phone maker’s next flagship is expected to launch soon in its home market, with Western and global markets likely to follow in the coming months.
PhoneArena suggests the OnePlus 15 will launch in China in October 2025, and we’re getting closer to the still-unconfirmed launch date. The company has shared key display specifications in partnership with sister brand Oppo and display maker BOE.
According to GizmoChina (via GSMArena), OnePlus shared new official information about the OnePlus 15 display in a direct announcement.
The OnePlus 15 will feature 1.15mm symmetrical bezels around the entire screen. For reference, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has ultra-thin bezels that measure 1.36mm.
Additionally, the OnePlus 15 will support a 165Hz refresh rate, much higher than the OnePlus 13 and most of the best Android phones on the market. The standard for a modern flagship phone is 120 Hz.
For reference, refresh rate refers to how often a display redraws the image on the screen. A faster refresh rate makes movement appear more fluid and makes it easier to analyze details in motion.
OnePlus also shared that the display will see a 13% improvement in high-brightness mode, which we assume means an increase in measured brightness, as well as an 11.8% improvement in color accuracy. The display is also TUV-Rheinland certified with a minimum of 1 nit of hardware brightness.
Additionally, the screen will supposedly consume 10% less power than the OnePlus 13 screen, with a 30% longer total component life. OnePlus is already known for its class-leading battery life, so this upgrade could lead to some truly impressive longevity.
The OnePlus 15 will also use Oppo’s P3 chip, a dedicated display controller that enables a pixel row loading time of 1.3 microseconds, which GizmoChina says is twice as fast as the industry average. This allows for better responsiveness and sustained brightness at faster refresh rates.
Finally, images shared by OnePlus seem to confirm that the OnePlus 15 will have a flat screen, rather than the curved screen seen in previous generations. Current rumors suggest a screen size of 6.78 inches.
The OnePlus 15 is shaping up to be a worthy successor to the OnePlus 13, which is our current pick for the best Android phone. Be sure to let us know what you think of these display specs in the comments below.
