OnePlus is preparing to launch its flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15, in the US. However, the launch has been delayed due to recent government shutdowns affecting federal approvals.
OnePlus 15 Launch Details
The OnePlus 15 debuted earlier this year in China. The US pricing has been set at $899 for a model featuring 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This price mirrors that of the OnePlus 13, which is significant considering the current tariff landscape.
FCC Certification Delay
One of the key obstacles to the OnePlus 15’s US launch is the delay in receiving final certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The government shutdown has impacted the FCC’s operations, resulting in a backlog of certifications.
Spenser Blank, OnePlus’s head of marketing, stated that the company has completed all necessary tests and submitted the certification application. However, due to the backlog from the shutdown, the approval process is still pending.
- OnePlus 15 features a 7,300mAh battery.
- Previous model, OnePlus 13, has a 6,000mAh battery.
- Utilizes silicon-carbon technology for enhanced battery capacity.
Impressive Battery Life
The OnePlus 15 promises outstanding battery performance, aiming to deliver a two-day battery life for users. This is made possible by the innovative battery technology that allows for thinner and higher-capacity designs compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries.

While the launch is yet to be finalized, OnePlus remains optimistic about a swift resolution to the certification issue, promising an expedited release once approval is obtained.
