Great news for the OnePlus lovers as the company has launched its latest flagship phone, the OnePlus 15, globally. Yes, I was also expecting the OnePlus 14 after OnePlus 13, but the brand has skipped the number 14 due to cultural superstitions in China where the number four is considered unlucky (the number 4 might be too close to word death) just like the Oppo skipped the Oppo Find N4 and directly launched the Find N5.
OnePlus 15 Price in Pakistan
The price of OnePlus 15 starts from Rs. 255,000 ($899.99). It is the international price converted as per the exchange rate at the time of publishing the blog. It will be higher after applying PTA taxes.
It is important for you to check the PTA status of a mobile phone when buying it to avoid any unwanted situation in the future.
Body & Design
This time, the company has significantly changed the design of its flagship series. An elegant square camera module with black highlighted main cameras. Also, it’s more curvy compared to the boxy shape of its predecessor. But the OnePlus branding is still there on the back side. It is slimmer and safer in terms of body and water resistance.

Camera
OnePlus flagship mobiles are famous for their impressive cameras as some even say that their cameras are better than the iPhone’s cameras. Even the company roasted the iPhone silently as you can see in the picture below. However, there is no major change in the cameras of OnePlus 15 compared to the previous model. Some minor changes in the sensor size, focal length, etc. but nothing concrete.

Final Verdict
In the end, the OnePlus 15 is quite a capable phone, especially in terms of performance, design, battery, display, and even cameras. However, the cameras could have been better as there are little to no notable changes. Now, you will get it without PTA approved as the company does not operate in Pakistan directly. So, you will have to get it PTA approved to use it legally in the country.
