OnePlus 15 Launches Globally but Faces a U.S. Delay: After weeks of anticipation, the OnePlus 15 finally became official on Nov. 13. It’s already available for order in many parts of the world, but U.S. buyers will have to wait a little longer. Now we know the reason behind the delay.
The Real Reason The OnePlus 15 Skipped The US Market
Whenever a new phone hits the U.S. market, it must first be approved by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). This approval ensures that all wireless features such as cellular networks, Wi Fi, and Bluetooth follow the agency’s rules.
Because the recent U.S. government shutdown lasted until just one day before the OnePlus 15 launch, OnePlus wasn’t able to complete the FCC approval process in time. That setback has pushed back the phone’s U.S. release.
FCC Backlog Slows Down OnePlus 15 Approval
The good news is that this isn’t a permanent issue. OnePlus told Android Central that it has finished all the FCC-required testing in certified labs and has already submitted the final application. The challenge now is timing. The FCC is working through more than a month’s worth of backlogged work, so there’s no clear date for when the approval will be processed.
OnePlus says it hopes the agency can move quickly so the device can reach the U.S. market soon. For anyone eager to stay updated, the company suggests heading to OnePlus.com/us, where you can enter your email and get notified the moment the OnePlus 15 becomes available.
U.S. Pricing Revealed
Even though the release date is still uncertain, OnePlus has confirmed the U.S. price. The OnePlus 15 will cost $899 for the base model with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Interestingly, this is the same price as the OnePlus 13, which stands out considering the current tariff environment.
