While both phones feature a triple 50MP camera setup, the OnePlus 15 brings crucial changes in hardware and software processing.
The OnePlus 15 reportedly moves away from the multi-year partnership with Hasselblad and instead uses Oppo’s proprietary Lumo Imaging System. This shift is expected to emphasise enhanced colour accuracy, dynamic range, and improved low-light performance through advanced computational photography. It slightly upgrades the periscope telephoto lens to offer 3.5x optical zoom, a minor but notable improvement over the OnePlus 13's 3x optical zoom. Both models stick to a 32MP front-facing camera.

The OnePlus 13 was launched in India with a starting price of approximately ₹69,999 for the base variant. Current prices may be lower due to sales and the model lifecycle. The OnePlus 15 is expected to debut in India in early November 2025. The anticipated starting price range is between ₹60,000 and ₹70,000, potentially offering better value than its predecessor, considering the major hardware upgrades.
The choice between the two flagships largely depends on your priorities and budget. You should choose the OnePlus 15 if you prioritise endurance and bleeding-edge performance. Contrarily, only select the OnePlus 13 if you find it at a substantial discount.
