The OnePlus 15T is coming in early Q2, leakster claims

The OnePlus 13T was announced in April last year and the upcoming 15T will keep the same schedule, reports leakster Digital Chat Station. This is for the launch in China – unfortunately, there are no details on whether this phone will be released in other countries and which ones.

As you may remember, OnePlus launched the nearly-identical OnePlus 13s in India – the difference was mostly in the smaller battery (5,850mAh vs. 6,260mAh) and lower-resolution selfie camera (16MP/1080p vs. 32MP/4K). Otherwise, the phone had the same 6.32” display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and dual 50MP cameras.

The OnePlus 15T will be upgraded with a 7,000mAh battery – possibly going as high as 7,500mAh. DCS claims that OnePlus is trying to hit the higher number. This may also be related to a China/India split like with the 13T/13s.

As for the rest, the phone will have a flat 6.3” LTPS OLED display, a 1.5K panel with a higher 165Hz refresh rate (the 2025 model had a 120Hz LTPO panel). The fingerprint reader will be upgraded to the ultrasonic kind.

The phone will allegedly be powered by the proper Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset instead of downgrading to the non-Elite Gen 5. The body will be rated IP68 and OnePlus will offer a magnetic snap-on case. The 13T/13s also had a magnetic case but notably lacked wireless charging – this was for attachment rather than charging.

Details on the camera are a bit murky, but it sounds like there will be no major upgrades – the telephoto is said to use the same 50MP JN5 sensor as the old model. No specs for the main camera have leaked and there is no mention of a third camera being added.

The burning question remains this – will the OnePlus 15T (or a version thereof) be available in more markets than the previous mini? If it is, it will compete with the likes of the Xiaomi 17 Pro, vivo X300 and probably the Oppo Find X9s – the iQOO 15 mini may be out of the race.
