With the recent launch in China, the OnePlus 15 is now gearing up for its U.S. arrival — here’s what American buyers should know about launch timing, pricing, and feature upgrades.
Release Date & Availability
OnePlus has officially confirmed a global launch date of November 13, 2025, for markets including the U.S. and Canada. The phone was previously launched in China on October 27–28. For U.S. buyers, pre‑order incentives such as a $50 discount for early registration are already being promoted. If you’re in the U.S., mark your calendar for Nov 13 — you’ll likely be able to buy it then or during the immediate pre‑order window.
Pricing Estimates for U.S. Market
While U.S.-specific MSRP has not been formally locked‑in for all configurations, various reports suggest:
– Base U.S. price expected to be around $899 before any discounts.
– With early‑bird promotion, the effective cost could drop to around $849.
– For context: China pricing started at CNY 3,999 (approx. US$560) for the base model.
So for U.S. buyers, expect flagship pricing — but relative to other high‑end phones, the OnePlus 15 may undercut some rivals.

Here are some of the standout upgrades the OnePlus 15 is bringing to the table:
– Processor & Performance: Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
