- The OnePlus 15T is expected to feature a 6.3-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.
- Despite its compact size, the phone is rumored to pack a massive 7,000mAh battery, possibly using OnePlus’ Glacier battery technology.
- Trial production of accessories suggests the OnePlus 15T is progressing toward a launch in the first half of 2026.
OnePlus appears to be extending its flagship lineup with a compact yet powerful smartphone. The latest reports surrounding the OnePlus 15T leaked specs suggest the company is preparing a smaller device that does not compromise on performance, display quality, or battery life. While OnePlus has not officially confirmed the phone, multiple leaks indicate the project is already well underway.
OnePlus 15T inches closer to launch
According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, posting on Weibo, OnePlus has reportedly begun trial production of accessories designed for the OnePlus 15T. This step typically happens once a device’s design is partially finalized, suggesting the phone may be further along in development than earlier rumors implied.
The accessories under testing reportedly include magnetic snap-on cases, with grey and white color options mentioned so far. The tipster adds that OnePlus is still experimenting with multiple accessory designs, meaning users could see a broader lineup by the time the phone officially launches.
OnePlus 15T specs leaked ahead of time
According to the reports, the OnePlus 15T will pack in a 6.3” flat display boasting a resolution of 1.5K, a refresh rate of 165Hz, and it will be an AMOLED panel. This is identical to the full-fledged OnePlus 15 offers, making it one of the smoothest displays in the flagship series.
The phone does have a compact structure; however, what’s unusual is its 7,000mAh battery (at least). This is a notable upgrade over the competition and possibly uses OnePlus’ Glacier technology to bring a beefy battery without compromising the phone’s thickness. Moreover, the phone will use a sturdy metal frame, possibly with a glass sandwich construction, although that remains to be seen officially.
Moving on, the OnePlus 15T leaked specs further add a dual rear camera setup comprising a 50MP primary and a 50MP telephoto shooter. OnePlus 15T is likely to bring optical zoom rather than digital cropping thanks to its telephoto lens on-board.
The phone draws its power from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the leading flagship chipset out there, making it a daily driver whether you are engaged in demanding tasks or gaming. Next up, reports include the use of a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that should speed up biometrics on the go.
Expected launch timeline and regional naming
Although OnePlus has not officially announced the device, current reports suggest a launch in the first half of 2026. The phone is expected to debut in China first, followed by an Indian release under the name OnePlus 15s. This would mirror last year’s strategy, where the OnePlus 13T in China launched as the OnePlus 13s in India.
