OnePlus 15 camera upgrades: What we expect
- Baseline expectation: 50 MP main; 50 MP ultra-wide; 50 MP 3x telephoto
- More questionable rumors:200 MP telephoto instead of a 50 MP zoom camera
- Possible end of the Hasselblad collaboration; shift to OnePlus’ in-house imaging pipeline
- A new customizable Action Button you can map to camera actions (launch/shutter), per OnePlus’ own description
How many cameras does the new OnePlus 15 have?
Expect three cameras on the back (wide, ultra-wide, telephoto) and a single selfie camera up front. The rear camera layout is rumored to sit in a new rounded-corner rectangular bump at the top-left.
OnePlus 15 camera: How many megapixels will it be?
The most consistent rumor points to a triple 50 MP combo on the rear. However, multiple reports also mention testing of a new 200 MP telephoto camera.
- Rear (expected): 50 MP main + 50 MP ultra-wide + 50 MP 3x telephoto
- Rear (alternate): higher-resolution main + 50 MP ultra-wide + 200 MP telephoto
- Front: megapixel count not leaked yet
OnePlus 15 camera upgrades:
Higher-resolution main camera
Possible 200 MP telephoto
In-house imaging (no more Hasselblad)
Reports suggest OnePlus may end the Hasselblad partnership and pivot to its own imaging platform. Expect color science, HDR tone mapping, and sharpening behavior to reflect OnePlus’ tuning rather than Hasselblad-branded profiles.
AI-assisted photo tools in OxygenOS 16
Camera-adjacent features expected on the OnePlus 15 include:
- AI Detail Boost (enhances clarity)
- AI Unblur (reduces motion blur)
- AI Reflection Eraser (helps when shooting through glass)
These align with OnePlus’ broader AI feature set on Android 16 and should slot into the editing/sharing workflow.
Action Button as a camera shortcut
A new customizable Action Button is expected to replace the beloved mute slider with the OnePlus 15. OnePlus’ own description mentions mapping it to take photos or launch specific apps, making it a practical shutter/quick-launch control for the camera.
