Smartphone maker OnePlus has officially unveiled the first look at its upcoming compact flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15T, ahead of its launch in China later this month.
The company shared official images of the device, showcasing its design and confirming several key features. While earlier rumors suggested a large rectangular camera module, the official design reveals a more familiar look similar to its predecessor.
Familiar Design With Dual Cameras
The OnePlus 15T features a squircle-shaped rear camera module that houses a dual-camera setup. The design aligns with OnePlus’ recent flagship aesthetic rather than the previously rumored redesign.
Official images show the phone in brown and green color options, giving users a choice of distinctive finishes. However, the company has not yet confirmed the exact launch date for the Chinese market, and details about a global release remain unknown.
Display and Performance
OnePlus has confirmed that the device will include a 6.3-inch flat display with rounded corners, making it one of the more compact flagship phones in the company’s lineup.
Although not officially announced, leaks suggest the phone could support a 165Hz refresh rate, similar to the standard OnePlus 15 model.
Performance-wise, benchmark listings on Geekbench indicate that the device may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset designed for high-end smartphones.
Camera Features
In the camera department, the OnePlus 15T is expected to feature a periscope telephoto lens offering 3.5× optical zoom. This feature could significantly enhance long-range photography while maintaining a compact device design.
Large Battery in a Compact Body
Despite its smaller size, the OnePlus 15T packs a massive 7,500mAh battery, making it one of the largest batteries in a compact flagship phone.
The device supports 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging, allowing users to quickly recharge the phone.
Durability and Security
The upcoming smartphone also comes with impressive durability ratings. It reportedly carries IP66, IP68, IP69, and IP69K certifications, offering strong protection against dust, water, and high-pressure conditions.
For security, the device includes an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which is typically faster and more reliable than traditional optical sensors.
Expected Launch Timeline
The OnePlus 15T is expected to launch in China sometime in March, though the company has not yet confirmed the exact date. Details regarding pricing, availability, and a possible international launch are still awaited.
With a compact design, powerful chipset, and unusually large battery, the OnePlus 15T is shaping up to be a notable addition to the company’s flagship smartphone lineup.
