What’s happened? The OnePlus 15 has just cleared a major regulatory hurdle for the U.S. market, and it could be available to purchase anytime soon.
- OnePlus has secured the required certification from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
- The phone’s model number, as stated on the certificate issued on November 25, 2025, is “CPH2749.”
- Though the company has not yet announced an official release date, sales could commence in the coming days.

Why is this important? According to OnePlus, the federal shutdown in the U.S. caused the delay in launching its latest flagship, as the company couldn’t secure the required FCC certificate to sell the smartphone in the region.
- However, now that the hurdle is no longer in place, one of the most-discussed Android flagships of the year can reach one of the largest smartphone markets.
- As and when the OnePlus 15 arrives in the U.S., it will increase competition among flagship smartphones, especially with the 2025 holiday season and upcoming 2026 lineup refreshes.
- For the brand, a launch in the region could help expand the global footprint and strengthen confidence in the supply chain and logistics.
Why should I care? If you’ve been holding out for a latest-generation Android flagship, or specifically for the OnePlus 15, your wait could finally come to an end.
- The flagship offers top-tier performance with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, a massive 7,300 mAh battery that should last over a day of real-world usage, and a versatile triple-camera setup.
- While checking all the hardware and specifications boxes, the phone could be lighter on your pocket than other Android flagships, as it will carry a price tag of $899.99 for the baseline variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
- Given the launch delay, OnePlus might offer limited-time deals to lure customers at launch.

OK, what’s next? If all goes well, OnePlus 15 sales may commence as early as next week.
- Keep an eye on the company’s official social media channels or website for further updates.
- The handset’s performance in the U.S. could encourage the company to release more models, particularly in the non-flagship segment.
- Meanwhile, the OnePlus 15R is shaping up to be a pretty good midranger, expected to debut with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 SoC and a massive battery.
