Everything you get with OnePlus’s latest flagship

The OnePlus 15 arrives in the brand’s signature bold red box, carrying forward its tradition of premium presentation. The packaging feels sturdy and refined, with a smooth matte texture that immediately signals you’re unboxing a high-end device. As soon as the lid lifts, the phone itself sits front and centre, wrapped in a thin protective film with its colour and finish clearly on display.

The model shown during first-look previews featured the “Sand Storm” variant, a matte gold finish with aerospace coating, though other versions such as Obsidian Black and Ultra Violet will also be available. The back panel’s texture feels smooth yet grippy, preventing fingerprints and offering a confident hold right out of the box.

Beneath the phone lies a familiar set of OnePlus accessories. A 120W SuperVOOC fast charger is included — a refreshing change in an era where many manufacturers are removing power bricks from their boxes. This adapter supports the phone’s full-speed wired charging, capable of refilling the massive 7,300 mAh battery in just under 30 minutes.

Alongside the charger sits the iconic red USB-C cable. The cable is thick, durable, and designed to handle high-speed charging and data transfer without overheating. OnePlus continues to include this cable as standard, reinforcing its commitment to user convenience and out-of-the-box readiness.

The box also contains a transparent protective case — something many competitors have phased out. The included case has a matte finish and raised edges for slight screen and camera protection. It’s not a heavy-duty case, but it offers solid first-day protection until buyers pick a more personalised option.

A small envelope underneath houses the usual paperwork, including a quick-start guide, warranty booklet, and safety information. The SIM ejector pin comes clipped neatly to the packet. OnePlus has even pre-applied a screen protector to the phone, saving users an additional purchase and ensuring scratch protection from day one.

Interestingly, the packaging’s layout has been slightly refined this year. The compartments are more compact, with eco-friendly inserts replacing older foam material. OnePlus has said that the new box design reduces plastic use by nearly 40 percent compared to earlier generations, aligning with its sustainability goals.

What’s missing from the box, however, is a wireless charging pad. Despite the OnePlus 15 supporting 50W wireless charging, that accessory will need to be purchased separately. Similarly, there are no earphones or audio adapters, reflecting the company’s focus on its wireless Buds lineup for 2025.

For UK buyers, the retail box contents are identical to the Chinese launch version, meaning the 120W charger and cable remain standard inclusions — a major win considering many flagship brands no longer provide them. The attention to detail, even in packaging, enhances the overall premium feel of the device.

In short, unboxing the OnePlus 15 feels like opening a complete flagship experience. You get the essentials and a few thoughtful extras that make setup effortless. Between the included charger, protective accessories, and elegant presentation, OnePlus proves that it still values the full ownership experience — not just the phone itself, but everything that comes with it.
