Tech whale OnePlus is reportedly preparing the set in motion of its next pack flagship, the OnePlus 15T, which is expected to bring home the bacon the OnePlus 13T that debuted in cathay in April. While the company has yet to confirm the handset, early leaks have already hinted at key specifications and design features. According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the device will likely retain its compact identity while offering several hardware upgrades.
Expected Specifications
As per the leaked report, the OnePlus 15T is anticipated to feature a 6.3-inch flat AMOLED display with rounded corners, alongside a metal middle frame and a minimalist rear camera module. A customisable multi-function button is expected to replace the traditional Alert Slider, continuing the trend set by the OnePlus 13T’s shortcut key on the left edge.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the 15T is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, offering flagship-level performance. The handset may pack a battery of 7,000mAh or more, although the Indian variant, likely to launch as the OnePlus 15s, could come with a slightly smaller battery. Security is expected to be handled via an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
Expected Launch Timeline
According to Smart Pikachu, the OnePlus 15T is likely to be unveiled in China around March or April 2026, with the Indian launch following shortly after under the OnePlus 15s moniker.

For context, the current OnePlus 13T sports a 6.32-inch Full HD+ 120Hz display with peak brightness up to 1,600 nits, an in-display fingerprint sensor, Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, and Android 15-based ColorOS 15.
