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.

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.
