New OnePlus 15 details from leaker indicate OnePlus has divorced its imaging partner
Digital Chat Station’s Weibo post in May also mentioned that the OnePlus 15 will have IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. The Ingress Protection rating of 68 means that a phone is impervious to dust and can be submerged in fresh, pure, and still water to a depth of 1.5 meters (4.92 feet) for as long as 30 minutes and emerge unscathed. The IP69 rating means that the device is protected from high-pressure, high-temperature water jets.
The OnePlus 15 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 application processor (AP). Interestingly, the prototype model (an engineering test device) doesn’t feature a round camera island although the final build may differ. It looks like OnePlus might end its partnership with Hasselblad and, similar to Huawei’s proprietary Xmage mobile imaging brand, develop its own in-house imaging platform. The leaker says to expect the OnePlus 15 to feature triple-rear cameras backed by three 50MP sensors including a primary camera with a large sensor and a periscope zoom lens.
