The OnePlus 15 got its first look at last week's Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit, but the first official look of the new phone provided by OnePlus on Monday is showing off a model that could be one of the most durable in the phone industry.
The upcoming OnePlus 15 will come in a Sand Storm model, which features a sand dune color and a material described as "aerospace-grade Micro-Arc Oxidation" on the phone's middle frame and camera deco.Â
OnePlus says this toughness is created from a "high-voltage plasma process" that grows a ceramic coating onto the phone's metal frame, resulting in it being 3.4 times harder than aluminum and 1.3 times as tough as a titanium mid frame.Â
While we'll have to wait for the phone's launch to get more details, if that claim holds up, I'll happily watch and see if a YouTuber finds a way to break it open.Â
Otherwise, we know that the OnePlus 15 has the recently unveiled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a new cooling system and that the phone will feature a customizable button instead of an Action Slider.
