OnePlus 15 shows notable performance gains over OnePlus 13 on Geekbench
The OnePlus 13 was released last year in China. It was a flagship offering and was among the first smartphones with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The OnePlus 13 will be succeeded by the OnePlus 15. It is expected to be powered by the next-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor.
Previously, the OnePlus 15 appeared on Geekbench with a low score due to an underclocked CPU. It managed to score only 639 points in single-core and 1,871 points in multi-core tests. The latest Geekbench listing of a device with model number PLK110, which is expected to be the Chinese variant of the OnePlus 15, reveals that it has 16GB of RAM and runs Android 16. The phone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset achieved 3,709 points in single-core and 11,000 points in multi-core tests.
For comparison, the OnePlus 13 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset scores 2,967 points in single-core and 8,807 points in multi-core. Recently, a Xiaomi 17 series device also appeared on Geekbench with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and its scores were on par with the OnePlus 15 at 3,705 in single-core and 11,228 in multi-core tests. We expect to learn more about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor at the Snapdragon Summit, scheduled for September 23.
