The OnePlus Ace 6T debuts with flagship power, rugged durability, and huge battery capacity, signalling what Indian buyers can expect from the upcoming OnePlus 15R launch.
OnePlus is ready to sell its new flagship smartphone in the US weeks after it made the device official. Having now finally gotten Federal Communications Commission clearance, the OnePlus 15 is available for preorder. Itβs currently only live on the OnePlus storefront, but the device will eventually come to Amazon and Best Buy as well.
The OnePlus 15 launched in China earlier this year, and it was supposed to go on sale in the US a month ago. However, the longest US government shutdown on record got in the way. Most of the FCCβs functions were suspended during the weekslong funding lapse, which prevented the agency from certifying new wireless products. Without that approval, OnePlus could not begin selling the phone. Thus, it had no firm release date when the phone was officially unveiled for the US in early November.
Interested parties can head to the OnePlus website to place an order. The base model starts at $900 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This version is only available in black. If you want the Ultraviolet or Sand Storm (with the distinctive micro-arc oxidation finish), youβll have to upgrade to the $1,000 version, which has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The OnePlus 15 isn't a perfect phone, but it pushes the envelope in ways that mainstream plays often skip. Apple must pay attention to its strengths if it seeks to supercharge the iPhone 18 lineup.
The wait is finally nearing an end for those of us in the US who have been waiting on the OnePlus 15. After being caught in the aftermath of the recent US government shutdown, the device has received regulatory clearance to enter the American market.
OnePlus got its start courting the enthusiast community by offering blazing-fast phones for a low price. While the prices arenβt quite as low as they once were, the new OnePlus 15 still delivers on value. Priced at $899, this phone sports the latest and most powerful Snapdragon processor, the largest battery in a mainstream smartphone, and a super-fast screen.
The OnePlus 15 still doesnβt deliver the most satisfying software experience, and the camera may actually be a step back for the company, but the things OnePlus gets right are very right. Itβs a fast, sleek phone that runs for ages on a charge, and itβs a little cheaper than the competition. But its shortcomings make it hard to recommend this device over the latest from Google or Samsungβor even the flagship phone OnePlus released 10 months ago.
US buyers have time to mull it over, though. Because of the recent government shutdown, Federal Communications Commission approval of the OnePlus 15 has been delayed. The company says it will release the phone as soon as it can, but thereβs no exact date yet.
