OnePlus 13
In terms of specs, the OnePlus 15 is unlikely to hold many surprises. The device is rumored to feature the yet unannounced Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, which will have the model number SM8850. The premiere of the 8 Elite 2 is expected in September, and the OnePlus 15 might be one of the first devices powered by it.
OnePlus Ace 6 might be the more surprising device. According to the new leak, it'll be powered by a Qualcomm chipset with the model number SM8845. It is unclear which chip that might be, but it's likely the Snapdragon 8s Gen5. That chip might be released alongside the 8 Elite 2 and provide performance just below that of the original Snapdragon 8 Elite.
Whatever its specs are, the OnePlus Ace 6 will likely serve as the base for a OnePlus 15R. The

OnePlus 13 models were. If the company manages to introduce the right improvements, it could be the long-needed strong alternative to Apple and Samsung in the US.

The OnePlus 13R , which was basically the global version of the OnePlus Ace 5, was so good that we called it 'the best flagship-killer' in our review.
That's not the first time we have heard about the upcoming flagship. The OnePlus 15 is rumored to have a few apparent downgrades, compared to last year's. The less obvious one might be the new 6.78-inch 1.5K display, which may replace the 6.82-inch 2K screen of last year's model.More striking might be the potential end of OnePlus' partnership with Hasselblad, which would lead to changes to the cameras. OnePlus is rumored to develop an in-house camera platform with different branding to replace the Hasselblad system. There's a rumor that the phone will have a battery with over 7,000 mAh capacity and 100W wired and wireless charging. Finally, there's a chance we see a OnePlus 15 Pro, though that one might be announced later in 2025.If you're wondering why there's no OnePlus 14 , the company has skipped it. The reason is the Chinese superstition that the number '4' is unlucky because when pronounced in Chinese, it sounds similar to the word for 'death.' That is why theis followed by OnePlus 15.

Reliable leaker tips mind-blowing Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge battery size and other potential surprises
If you're not already as excited as I am about next year's Galaxy S26 Edge, the latest word around the Twittersphere (or is it the Xsphere now?) could radically change that with just a number... or two. You know how a typically very trustworthy mobile industry insider encouragingly (but vaguely) claimed that the S25 Edge's sequel would pack a larger battery only a few days ago? Well, now a different social media tipster with a pretty solid track record of his own has additional intel to report on the same matter, and said info is both a lot more specific and extremely promising. Almost shockingly so. Of course it is. But it's definitely not going to be easy to switch from a 3,900mAh cell on this year's Galaxy S25 Edge to a 4,500mAh battery for the device likely to replace the S25 Plus... in addition to the S25 Edge . The S25 Edge is not a bad phone by any measure of the word, but the S26 Edge could be outright spectacular. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena Making the task that much harder to pull off, Samsung is reportedly aiming for a thinner profile on the S26 Edge, as well as bezels "minimized to the extreme." The S25 Edge 's screen borders are hardly massive, mind you, and the handset measures 5.8mm in overall depth, so reducing that number (even by 0.1 or 0.2mm) while adding 600mAh of juice is bound to prove incredibly challenging for the world's largest smartphone manufacturer. If the 4,500mAh battery capacity ultimately pans out, that's likely to be made possible by a new silicon-carbon material. This groundbreaking technology has been used on battery life champions like the OnePlus 13T, Motorola Edge 60 Pro, or Oppo Find N5, but while it does allow for previously unfeasible size increases without adding bulk to phones, some concerns regarding faster long-term degradation continue to linger. Evidently, Samsung is thinking of throwing caution to the wind for at least one Galaxy S26 family member, possibly deeming the benefits bigger and more important than the potential risks of adopting this new battery tech. More things to boost your excitement for Samsung's next ultra-thin Android flagship, that is, including blazing fast charging, and believe it or not, a potential launch by the end of 2025. While the former detail is hardly surprising, calling for an upgrade from the Galaxy S25 Edge 's 25W charging capabilities to a Galaxy S25 Ultra-matching 45W top speed, the latter information is not something I expected to hear... or something I believe has a very big chance of materializing. Can you even picture a thinner phone than the S25 Edge with a bigger battery and faster charging in your mind? I know I can. | Image Credit -- PhoneArena A Galaxy S26 Edge release "late this year" would certainly help Samsung quickly put what's reportedly a pretty big box-office flop behind it, but an official announcement "early next year" alongside a "vanilla" Galaxy S26 and a top-of-the-line S26 Ultra remains significantly more plausible. Especially if the company is indeed planning to make the S26 Edge slimmer than its predecessor, with thinner screen bezels, a larger battery, and faster charging, that definitely sounds like something that will need all the development and pre-release testing it can get. Rushing such a mouth-watering device to market could end in catastrophe, so as much as I would theoretically love to see the Galaxy S26 Edge on store shelves as soon as possible, I think I'd be perfectly fine to wait until January or February 2026 if that means Samsung will get all of the above upgrades just right. Oh, and have I mentioned that the camera is also reportedly set for a major improvement?

Weekly poll results: the OnePlus Nord 5 and Nord CE5 get a red card
Gone are the days when OnePlus was a budget brand – but these days even its budget product line is seen as too expensive. That or it's not competitive in the current mid-range market. Last week's poll painted a grim picture of Nord 5's and Nord CE5's future. The OnePlus Nord 5 fared pretty poorly, with a plurality of people voting against its hardware. The second largest group thought that it was too expensive. The two are related, of course, but it's not just about the value for money equation. The Nord 4 had a unique look with that aluminum unibody – the Nord 5 looks ordinary by comparison. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset is pretty powerful, but you can get the newer 8s Gen 4 for less money than the Nord 5. And the 50+8MP camera was seen as nothing special. The IP65 rating and small battery on the international model were also commonly brought up as issues. The OnePlus Nord CE5 got the clearest message we've seen yet – 'No, I don't like the hardware' got over 80% of the vote. It's not even a question about it being too expensive (the price in India is too close to the Nord 5, for example), people in the comments just poked too many holes in the spec sheet. Some felt that the Dimensity 8350 Apex chipset didn't get enough cooling and throttling hurt its sustained performance. Others pointed to the lack of stereo speakers (the CE4 had them). Going from a 7,100mAh battery in the model for India to 5,200mAh for the global one is a major downgrade too. The microSD slot did earn the CE5 some points, though not enough. The Nord series is in a bad spot right now as it is facing strong competition in the mid-range market. A price cut can give the OnePlus Nord 5 a boost, but that might not be enough to save the Nord CE5. OnePlus Nord 5 5G OnePlus Nord CE5 5G
