The Pixel 6 series is also getting the update but it seems to have remained unaffected from these issues.

Meanwhile, Google’s next major launch event is right around the corner, scheduled for August 20, where it will be unveiling the Pixel 10 series of devices. A new report suggests that the sale dates for Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a have been delayed due to supply chain issues. However, they’ll still be unveiled at the August 20 event and will be up for pre-order from the same day.

A new OnePlus 15 design leak suggests that the handset will give up on the circular camera module which has been a part of the brand’s flagship smartphones since the OnePlus 11. After three generations, the company is finally planning to switch to a new design and as per leak, that design was recently seen in another OnePlus device.

The leak coming from DCS on Weibo suggests that the OnePlus 15 design will include a rectangular-shaped module with rounded edges, something we have seen on the recent OnePlus 13s / OnePlus 13T.

Furthermore, the upcoming OnePlus 15 is rumoured to ditch the Hasselblad co-branding for its cameras, marking a potential shift in the company’s imaging strategy. Additionally, the device is expected to feature a slightly lower-resolution display than its predecessor, reportedly offering a “1.5K” panel. Despite the downgrade, the screen will still utilize LIPO technology and sport ultra-thin bezels for a premium visual experience.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15 is said to pack a 50MP primary camera and be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip. A massive 7,000–7,500mAh battery is expected, along with support for 100W wired charging.

OnePlus won’t be holding back on specifications with its next flagship and as for the design, we’ll have to wait a little more to see whether OnePlus will give its OnePlus 15 a distinctive new look or will stick to the traditional design language we have seen in previous OnePlus devices.
