OnePlus is set to launch its first smartphone powered by a Snapdragon flagship processor in the coming months. Many are wondering what happened to the “OnePlus 14” — but due to Chinese cultural beliefs where the number 4 is considered unlucky, the brand is skipping it and going straight to the OnePlus 15.

So, if you’re planning to upgrade your phone, the OnePlus 15 could be a strong contender.
According to a report by Android Headlines, the OnePlus 15 5G has appeared on the Geekbench listing with the model number OnePlus PLK110. It may be the first phone to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (Elite 2) processor.
This new chipset is expected to debut in October, with OnePlus being the first brand to feature it.
