OnePlus took the wraps away its in vogue(p) flagship, OnePlus 15 at the of late concluded Snapdragon breast. Even out before the Chinese smartphone maker could officially launch the phone in its home and global markets, we already have a review of the new phone with a comparison of its benchamark against Apple's latest flasghip chipset, A19 Pro.
The review was uploaded by a YouTuber named Geekerwan who only talked about the performance and gaming aspects of the device, since the OnePlus 15 isn't released yet.
OnePlus 15 benchmark scores:
In the review, OnePlus 15 gets a single bench score of 3,836 and multi-bench score of 12,352. The multi-core scores of the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 powered device are higher than those of not only the currently Android flagships but even Apple's A19 and A19 Pro chipset that powers the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro lineup.
However, in single core score, the OnePlus 15 is slightly behind both the A19 (3,849) and A19 Pro (4,019).
The YouTuber tested the GPU performance of the device using 3D Mark's Steel Nomad Light benchmark where the phone got a score of 3,143, which was again higher than that of A19 (2,598) and A19 Pro (3,004). However, the phone did fell behind the GPU scores of MediaTek's Dimensity 9500 chipset which was launched just a few days ago.
While there has been a lot of hype around the new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor like its predecessor, but we'll have to wait till actual devices powered by the new processor launch in the Indian market. Last year, for instance I found that a few devices powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite like the iQOO 13 had some heating issues which became prominent during benchmarks. A similar issue, however, did not replicate with the OnePlus 13 which came with the same processor, likely due to software side CPU throttling by the brand.
OnePlus 15: What to expect?
Apart from being powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the OnePlus 15 will come with a 165Hz display and a brand new design. OnePlus is ditching the circular camera module in its flagship lineup for a squarish setup that we've previously seen on the OnePlus 13s (Review) and some other Oppo devices.
