As of July 2025, there’s a lot of buzz and leaked information surrounding the OnePlus 15T, even though OnePlus traditionally releases its “T” models later in the flagship cycle. It appears OnePlus might be skipping the “14” series due to tetraphobia (fear of the number 4) in some Asian cultures.
Here’s a summary of what’s being rumored about the OnePlus 15T:
Expected Launch :
OnePlus 15T/15s: It’s widely expected that OnePlus will release a “T” or “s” variant, likely to be called the OnePlus 15T or 15s. This would follow the OnePlus 13T/13s, which were compact, powerful phones.
Launch Timeline: Rumors suggest a launch in the first half of 2026 for the OnePlus 15T. The main OnePlus 15 flagship is expected to launch in China around October 2025, with an India launch likely in January 2026.
Key Rumored Specifications and Features:
The OnePlus 15T is being positioned as a compact flagship with some features that might even surpass the main OnePlus 15 flagship in certain aspects, particularly battery size.
Processor: Expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s rumored Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset (internal designation SM8850), which is said to be built on TSMC’s 3nm (N3P) process for better efficiency and power. This chip is rumored to achieve impressive AnTuTu scores of around 3.8 million.
Display:
Size: Around 6.3 to 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display. This aligns with the “compact” flagship positioning, making it smaller than the rumored 6.78-inch flat display of the OnePlus 15.
Resolution: Likely a 1.5K resolution (1216 x 2640 pixels).
Features: HDR10+, Dolby Vision, ultra-slim profile, and potentially a 1-120Hz (or even up to 165Hz) refresh rate.
Fingerprint Sensor: Expected to feature an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for enhanced security.
Battery: This is a major highlight. Rumors suggest the OnePlus 15T could have a larger battery than the OnePlus 15, possibly around 6,500 mAh to 7,000 mAh. This follows a trend seen with the OnePlus 13T having a larger battery than the OnePlus 13.
Charging: Likely to support fast wired charging (possibly 80W or 100W) and potentially wireless charging.
RAM & Storage: Configurations are expected to include 12GB/16GB RAM and storage options up to 1TB UFS 4.0. Some sources even hint at a 24GB RAM variant.
Cameras:
Rear: A dual or triple-lens rear camera system is rumored. Some leaks suggest dual 50MP cameras, while others indicate a setup that might include a 50MP main lens, a 50MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto lens. The addition of an ultrawide lens would be an upgrade over previous “T” models.
Front: A 16MP or 32MP front camera with autofocus.
Software: Expected to run on OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, with a strong focus on AI features like AI Detail Boost, AI Unblur, AI Reflection Eraser, AI Search, and more.
Design: Early leaks suggest a compact and minimalist build with a metal frame, slim and symmetrical bezels.
Other Features:
Wi-Fi 7
Bluetooth v5.4
USB Type-C
Dual SIM support
IP69 water resistance (rumored for the main 15, might carry over to the T)
“Plus Key” (likely a programmable action button)
Expected Price in India:
Based on current rumors, the OnePlus 15T’s price in India could start around ₹59,999
