Summary
- A new leak hints that the upcoming OnePlus 15T and iQOO 15 Mini (or 15T) could arrive with 7,000mAh batteries.
- The phones are also said to opt for flat displays and in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensors.
- Both phones are expected to arrive with Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.
It's no surprise that OnePlus will most likely bring its compact 15T (15s in India) smartphone in 2026. However, iQOO is not holding back either as leaks point to there being a compact iQOO 15 Mini or 15T next year. A new leak now hints that both phones could be butting heads with massive batteries.
Tipster Smart Pikachu took to Weibo to reveal that the OnePlus and iQOO compact flagships next year could arrive with 7,000mAh batteries. While the tipster hasn't revealed the name of the exact devices, they could be the OnePlus 15T and iQOO 15 Mini (or the iQOO 15T).
Additionally, the tipster also reveals that the compact flagships could flaunt "small straight screens", which hints at their compact form. However, the tipster suggests that the bezels will not be outright narrow.
Apart from that, we get to know that the devices may also feature in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanners. The OnePlus and iQOO compact flagships next year are said to be "gaming" focused devices as well. This could potentially hint at the phones being powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.
Not too long ago, we also saw a live image of the OnePlus 15T surface online, which showcased the display of the device. Apart from that, OnePlus will also reportedly ditch Hasselblad to bring its own imaging technology next year. So, that will be something to witness as well.
For now, this is all that we know. However, with the launch of these devices being quite far away, expect to see a bunch of details surface in the coming days.
