OnePlus 15 teardown
The whole machine is equipped with three microphones, one less rear microphone than the previous generation. The placement logic of the three microphones is slightly different from the conventional solution of placing one on the top and one on the bottom. OnePlus 15 adopts the arrangement of one on the top and two on the bottom. There is no sound receiving hole on the back of the fuselage (rear side)

The two bottom microphone sound receiving holes are deliberately made into a long strip to distinguish them from the card ejection hole to prevent incorrect insertion

OnePlus 15 teardown
The X-axis linear motor uses the same AAC ESA0816 specification (third-generation technology) as its big brother Find X9 Pro. The overall performance is approximately equal to the larger ESA1016 (third-generation technology), which is slightly better than ESA7514A (third-generation technology). However, it is still a little behind the previous generation CSA+0916Turbo (CSA0916B fourth-generation technology). Refer to the diagram below for the rankings

The battery is the dual-cell single-port solution, this glacier battery also uses anew generation of spherical silicon-carbon negative electrode material. The silicon content has been increased to 15%, and the capacity has reached an equivalent of 7300mAh (27.6Wh), which is 1300mAh (4.68Wh) higher than the previous generation. The manufacturer is still Dongguan Xinnengde — ATL battery cell. The energy density is calculated through the packaging size to be around 823Wh/L, which is slightly higher than the previous generation's 790Wh/L

OnePlus 15 teardown
The screen is still from BOE, supports LTPO, and the luminous material is upgraded to X3. The resolution is reduced from 2K to 1.5K, but the refresh rate is increased to 165Hz. Before OnePlus the ultra-high refresh rate screen can only achieve a maximum resolution of 1080P. The operation of OnePlus 15 is to raise the upper limit of the industry. And this 165Hz is not for only gaming scenes. WeChat, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, QQ, etc. have all been adapted, and the refresh rate will be relatively smoother. The default supports medium and high brightness single-scan DC dimming + low brightness high-frequency PWM dimming

The measured manual full-screen maximum is 720 nits, close to 1700 nits when stimulated by strong light, and drops to 3400 nits with a 10% window. It also supports brightness adjustment as low as 1 nit

Exclusive Foresight:
OPPO is doing next-generation pre-research on two 200 MP periscopes
— One 1/1.3"± (OV52A or SmartSens SC880XS)
— The other 1/1.12"± (IMX09E)
These are the telephoto solutions for two different flagships
The IMX09E (1/1.12") is likely for the Find X10 Ultra, while the 1/1.3" option may target the Find X10 Pro
No continuous zoom yet—currently fixed focal length

8 Elite Gen 6 series comes in two versions: a standard version and a Pro version
Both are manufactured using TSMC's N2P process
The successor to the 8 Elite Gen 5 will be the 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro
The third-gen self-developed CPU architecture has been changed to 2+3+3 (8 Elite Gen 5 uses a 2+6 setup with 2 prime and 6 performance cores)
The two versions have different GPU specifications, and it seems that only the Pro version supports LPDDR6

S25 Ultra vs Find X9 Pro comparison at 10x zoom
S25 Ultra has a longer focal length starting from 5x, from which it crops to 10x, but Find X9 Pro has a bigger sensor at 3x which compensates for the longer distance
S25 Ultra at 10x - 1/5.04" with f/6.8
Find X9 Pro at 10x - 1/5.2" with f/7.0
The crucial role here is played by the difference in resolution, as Find X9 Pro outputs 26MP samples and S25 Ultra 12MP
