Next-generation OnePlus model, OnePlus 15, may push screen technology beyond what Samsung and Apple currently offer.
In the rapidly evolving world of smartphone technology, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year as major players in the industry prepare to unveil their latest offerings.
Google has taken the first step with the launch of the Pixel 10, promising to push the boundaries of Android phone offerings even further. Meanwhile, OnePlus is gearing up for the release of the successor to the OnePlus 13, a device expected to surpass the displays of both Samsung and Apple.
According to a leak from tech leaker Digital Chat Station, as reported by Android Police, the new OnePlus model is anticipated to feature a 165Hz refresh rate on its display. This refresh rate is significantly higher than what is currently available on the market, potentially offering smoother visuals and improved gaming experiences.
The OnePlus 15, as the new model is expected to be called, will also be the first OnePlus model in a long time to lose the Hasselblad camera system. Instead, it is expected to take matters in-house, using new proprietary camera technology.
The OnePlus 15 will also boast a 6.78-inch 165 Hz OLED display and will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, yet to be named Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
Samsung is not far behind, having announced the launch of its Galaxy S25 range early in the calendar year. The competition to be named the best phone in 2025 is anticipated to be intense.
Apple is also expected to launch a new iPhone before the end of 2025, ensuring the race for smartphone dominance will be a close one.
In a surprising move, the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro has already been tested with a display featuring high refresh rate technology. This suggests that Asus could also be a contender for the top spot in 2025.
The new OnePlus model is expected to be available in a new colour called Moon Rock Black, adding a touch of elegance to its already impressive specifications.
With these exciting developments, 2025 promises to be a year of innovation and competition in the smartphone industry. Stay tuned for more updates as these tech giants continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.
