OnePlus has started revealing more information about the upcoming OnePlus 15T ahead of its official debut in China on March 24. The company has now confirmed key aspects of the device’s imaging system and also shared early camera samples, offering a glimpse of what users can expect from its photography experience.

OnePlus 15T: Camera hardware and zoom capabilities

The OnePlus 15T features a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 primary camera with a large sensor designed to capture more light and improve dynamic range. This sensor has already appeared on several flagship devices and is known for maintaining detail even in challenging lighting conditions. The main camera is accompanied by a periscope telephoto lens with a 50-megapixel sensor, which may feature the Samsung JN5 sensor.

This telephoto camera supports 3.5x optical zoom and can extend to 7x lossless zoom through image processing. The lens structure allows a longer focal length inside a compact smartphone body, making it possible to capture distant subjects with greater clarity. The 3.5x zoom corresponds to an equivalent 85mm portrait focal length, which is widely used for natural-looking close-up shots. Here are some camera samples shared by the brand.

A notable part of the camera system is the Lumo imaging platform, an imaging technology brand introduced by Oppo and adapted for OnePlus devices. It focuses mainly on improving portrait photography. The platform combines advanced optical data capture, computational depth processing, and colour rendering technologies to deliver more accurate skin tones and realistic background blur.

The system includes a computational optics framework that gathers optical information across multiple focal lengths, along with a digital imaging engine that recreates optical depth effects through spatial computing. Another component called ProXDR enables an end-to-end HDR workflow, ensuring photos maintain high dynamic range from preview to final image and sharing.

The OnePlus 15T is also expected to include optical image stabilization across its rear cameras to improve photo sharpness and reduce blur. Apart from imaging upgrades, reports indicate that the device will feature a 6.32-inch flat OLED 1.5K display with a 165Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a large 7,500mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It will be available in brown, white, and green shades.
