OnePlus 15: BOE's next-gen display officially confirmed with key highlights revealed

The OnePlus 15 is expected to launch this month in China. Ahead of the official release, the company has revealed the details of the phone's display. Earlier, a leak suggested that the device would feature BOE's next-gen screen. This has now been confirmed as the company has officially announced that the OnePlus 15 will feature BOE's upcoming third-generation Oriental screen.

Writing on the Chinese social media site Weibo, Louis Lee, the president of OnePlus China, noted that OnePlus is collaborating again with BOE, a Chinese display manufacturer. For reference, the OnePlus 13 featured the second-generation Oriental screen. A reveal event for the new BOE display is scheduled for October 14 at 14:30 local time in Shenzhen, China.

Ahead of the unveiling event, key highlights of the OnePlus 15's display have also been revealed. Firstly, the display will support a 165Hz refresh rate with high resolution. For reference, the ROG Phone 8 Pro featured a 165Hz screen, but with an FHD+ resolution. The OnePlus 15 is expected to have a slightly higher 1.5K resolution.

Furthermore, the new BOE display on the OnePlus 15 is set to achieve an A++ rating. This comes as no surprise, as the OnePlus 13's BOE display also received an A++ certification from DisplayMate. Notably, the screen is also said to recieve TÜV Rheinland Intelligent Eye Care 5.0 certification with a "gold standard" rating. Finally, the OnePlus 15 is confirmed to have a 1-nit minimum brightness capability for comfortable viewing in dark environments.

OnePlus is yet to confirm other metrics for the display. However, leaks suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered phone will opt for a smaller display with a 6.78-inch panel compared to its predecessor’s 6.82-inch panel. In separate news, the release timeline and key specifications of the compact OnePlus 15T have been leaked.
