Summary

  • OnePlus 15T has surfaced online in a leaked image, suggesting the brand's next compact flagship phone.
  • It is expected to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a periscope camera and a 6,000+mAh battery.
  • The OnePlus 15T will reportedly launch by mid 2026 in China and later as the OnePlus 15s in India.

OnePlus entered the compact smartphone race in 2025 with the OnePlus 13T in China. It later came to India as the OnePlus 13s. Now, it looks like the brand is already hard at work, prepping the sequel – the OnePlus 15T.

Prominent leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS) took to Weibo to share an image containing a bunch of compact smartphones side by side. Now all the devices are facing forward, without revealing their back designs. However, the red-accented lockscreen digital clock on the extreme-right smartphone is all too familiar and too hard to miss.

This is the signature OnePlus clock that has been a hallmark symbol of identity for the brand since the OnePlus X, back in 2015. The device sporting this lockscreen could be the upcoming OnePlus 15T, slated to launch in 2026.

Apart from this, the other three devices appear to be from Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo respectively. Based on our assumption, the device on the extreme-left side could be the Xiaomi 16, immediately beside that is what appears to be the Oppo Find X9 and just beside that on the right, is what appears to be the Vivo X300 Pro Mini. However, we cannot say for sure.

Apart from this, DCS has also mentioned that unlike the OnePlus 13T, the OnePlus 15T will be a full-blown flagship in every aspect. For instance, in the camera department, the 15T will feature a periscope telephoto lens, something the OnePlus 13T lacked.

Similarly, in terms of biometrics, the device will reportedly feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which again, was not part of the OnePlus 13T. In the battery department as well, OnePlus is reportedly eyeing a 6,000+mAh capacity but will not go beyond the 7,000mAh mark. Under the hood, the device could very likely feature the 2nd Gen Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. However, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 SoC may also be up for consideration.

That said, nothing is officially confirmed yet. Even the leaked image does not give a whole lot of confidence. Hence, take this new development with a grain of salt. The OnePlus 15T could potentially launch as the OnePlus 15s in India, just like the OnePlus 13s that arrived in the country not so long ago.
