OnePlus has officially announced the launch of its next compact flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 15T in China on March 24, after teasers. Marketed as a “small-screen powerhouse,” the device is designed to break the notion that compact smartphones must compromise on performance or battery capacity.
The company has confirmed three color options — Pure Cocoa, Relaxing Matcha, and Healing White Chocolate. The smartphone will feature a 6.32-inch OLED display with ultra-slim 1.1mm bezels and a 165Hz refresh rate. It will also include an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and full water-resistance support.
According to OnePlus China President Louis Jie, the 15T is engineered to deliver a true flagship-grade experience, particularly in performance and battery endurance, rivaling — or even exceeding — larger smartphones.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, reportedly scoring 4.45 million points on AnTuTu. For enhanced gaming and sustained workloads, it adopts a dual-core architecture branded as the “Wind Chaser Gaming Core” and “Esports Triple Core.” A standout feature is its massive 7500mAh Glacier Battery — a capacity rarely seen in compact phones — paired with support for 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless flash charging.
On the camera front, the OnePlus 15T introduces a 3.5x periscope telephoto lens, addressing a feature omission seen in the 13T. Pricing details are expected to be revealed at the official launch next week.
