Ahead of the formal launch, this is as much official as it gets. A OnePlus Community manager in China has revealed that the company will soon launch the OnePlus 15T. Initially, the devices is expected to go on sale in China, although gradually it will then also come to other markets, including India.
The details revealed so far suggest that the 15T will be a compact flagship smartphone. The smartphone will be the successor to the OnePlus 13T and is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. The announcement follows community teasers and confirmations from company insiders, with hopes of a March 2026 debut.
OnePlus 15T expected specifications and features
Tipster Digital Chat Station describes the OnePlus 15T as a “mini powerhouse,” aimed at users who prefer more pocketable phones without giving up top-tier specifications. Early leaks indicate the phone will feature a 6.32-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a high 165Hz refresh rate, which should support smoother animations and gaming experiences.
Under the hood, the handset is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage, hardware typically reserved for premium segment devices.
Battery life could be another standout feature for the compact phone, with leaks suggesting a 7,500 mAh battery supported by 100W fast wired charging and wireless charging compatibility. This would give the OnePlus 15T a notable upgrade over its predecessor, which lacked wireless support.
In addition to wireless charging, the tipster has revealed that the OnePlus 15T may support MagSafe-style connectivity, allowing it to work with magnetic accessories similar to Apple’s ecosystem. An ultra-thin magnetic cooling accessory is also tipped to debut alongside the phone, designed to help dissipate heat during gaming or intensive tasks without obstructing normal usage.
For photography, the camera setup on the 15T remains partially unconfirmed, with some leaks mentioning a 200MP main sensor while others point to a 50MP primary camera paired with a 50MP telephoto lens and a 32MP selfie shooter.
While the upcoming China launch is confirmed, there are indications that the OnePlus 15T may arrive globally under the name OnePlus 15s, following the strategy used with the previous 13T and the 13s duo.
For context, the OnePlus 13T came equipped with a 6.32-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and was powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. It carried a large 6260 mAh battery, which could quickly charge with charging speed up to 80W. This phone had a 50MP primary camera along with 50MP telephoto rear cameras and a 16MP front camera.
