Before the end of this year, OnePlus may unveil the OnePlus Ace 6 Turbo as the world’s first Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 phone. Next year, the brand is expected to launch the OnePlus 15T as one of its first major phones of 2026. Like the previous generation OnePlus 13T (review), the upcoming 15T will be a compact flagship. So far, the rumour mill has already leaked a few details about the device. Now, a leak by tipster Digital Chat Station has reiterated some of its key specifications.

OnePlus 15T key specifications (rumored)

According to the tipster, the OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.31-inch OLED screen that offers a 1.5K resolution. It will be a flat display surrounded by equal-sized bezels on all four sides. For security, it will have an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 15T will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which also powers the OnePlus 15. The tipster claimed that the battery size of the OnePlus 15T has not been finalized yet. However, he revealed that the engineering prototype currently under testing shows model numbers starting with “7,” indicating that it may pack a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. He added that the phone will have an IP68-rated build.

As far as the launch is concerned, the tipster claimed that the OnePlus 15T will be announced in the first half of 2026. The tipster did not mention anything about the 15T’s camera specifications, but reports have already suggested that it will include an ultra-wide lens, which was missing in the previous generation. Hopefully, upcoming reports will reveal more details about the compact flagship.

OnePlus is not the only brand gearing up to launch a compact flagship next year. The 15T is expected to face competition from the likes of the Honor Magic 8 Mini, iQOO 15 Mini, and Oppo Find X9s, which are also expected to launch in 1H26.

The OnePlus 15T may get rebranded as the OnePlus 15s in India.

The post OnePlus 15T may pack a 7,000mAh battery, reveals engineering prototype appeared first on Gizmochina.

The OnePlus 15 just arrived, and yet plenty of information regarding the OnePlus 15T just surfaced. The OnePlus 15T is expected to succeed the OnePlus 13T, which was announced back in April. So the OnePlus 15T is not expected to drop anytime soon.

With that being said, Digital Chat Station, a well-known tipster, just shared some of the OnePlus 15T specs. Do note that this information is based on an engineering prototype.

The OnePlus 15T will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and a 6.31-inch display

According to what he said, the phone will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. In other words, it’ll utilize the same chip as the OnePlus 15. This will be the company’s compact flagship, in a way.

The OnePlus 15T is tipped to utilize a 6.31-inch 1.5K display, which will be an OLED panel. That display will be flat, and its bezels will be both thin and uniform. Below the display, OnePlus will include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

The phone will be IP68 certified, while the battery details have still not been confirmed. The tipster did note that the engineering sample does have a battery starting with 7, so it’s at least a 7,000mAh unit. That’s plenty for basically any smartphone, let alone a compact one.

This phone looks like a true compact powerhouse… on paper

Based on these specs, the OnePlus 15T will be a true compact powerhouse. It could actually become the world’s most powerful compact smartphone, based on what we’ve seen here. We still don’t have the complete image, though, of course.

We’re hoping that OnePlus will opt to launch the OnePlus 15T in more markets this time around. The OnePlus 13T was announced in China, and then re-released in India as the OnePlus 13s. It did not make its way to Europe or the US. Pushing that phone to those two markets would create plenty of competition for Apple, Samsung, and Google.

The OnePlus 15T is expected to arrive in the first half of next year. It could arrive towards the end of April, just like its predecessor, but it remains to be seen.
