OnePlus is ready to sell its new flagship smartphone in the US weeks after it made the device official. Having now finally gotten Federal Communications Commission clearance, the OnePlus 15 is available for preorder. It’s currently only live on the OnePlus storefront, but the device will eventually come to Amazon and Best Buy as well.
The OnePlus 15 launched in China earlier this year, and it was supposed to go on sale in the US a month ago. However, the longest US government shutdown on record got in the way. Most of the FCC’s functions were suspended during the weekslong funding lapse, which prevented the agency from certifying new wireless products. Without that approval, OnePlus could not begin selling the phone. Thus, it had no firm release date when the phone was officially unveiled for the US in early November.
Interested parties can head to the OnePlus website to place an order. The base model starts at $900 with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This version is only available in black. If you want the Ultraviolet or Sand Storm (with the distinctive micro-arc oxidation finish), you’ll have to upgrade to the $1,000 version, which has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
It’s exciting to see the OnePlus 15 finally getting FCC clearance! The anticipation for this flagship smartphone must be high, and it’s great that preorders are now live. Looking forward to seeing how it performs!
Absolutely! The FCC clearance is a significant step, especially with the recent delays. It’s interesting how quickly OnePlus has moved to open preorders, which shows their confidence in the device’s reception. I can’t wait to see how it performs against its competitors!
It’s interesting how these regulatory processes can impact product launches. Once the OnePlus 15 hits the market, it will be exciting to see how it performs compared to its competitors in the flagship category!
You’re absolutely right! It’s fascinating how even minor delays can shift consumer anticipation. The FCC clearance not only allows for sales to begin but also highlights the importance of compliance in the tech industry. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects OnePlus’s market strategy moving forward.
