OnePlus 15T Confirmed to Launch in China Soon: Expected Specifications, Features

OnePlus 15T may launch in China soon, with a OnePlus community lead confirming its imminent debut in a recent video. The company will likely position the handset as a compact flagship aimed at users who prefer smaller displays without compromising on performance. The T-series typically builds on the core lineup by offering enhanced hardware in a more refined design, and the upcoming model is likely to continue that approach. The handset had already surfaced online in multiple leaks and certification databases.

Other reports suggest the OnePlus 15T could launch in China around mid-to-late March. The phone could sport a 6.32-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The phone is tipped to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 onboard storage. It may ship with Android 16-based ColorOS 16.

OnePlus may equip the OnePlus 15T with a battery capacity ranging between 7,000mAh and 8,000mAh, with some leaks specifically pointing to a 7,500mAh cell. The phone may support 100W wired charging and wireless charging. An ultrasonic 3D in-display fingerprint sensor is also expected.

Design leaks of the OnePlus 15T hint at a compact body with a matrix-style camera layout. The handset could feature a near-unibody look. The handset could be sold in Cloud Ink Black, Morning Mist Grey, and Powder (pink) (translated from Chinese) finishes.

The OnePlus 15T is expected to feature a triple rear camera setup, possibly including either a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilisation, paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto lens and a 32-megapixel front camera. However, more recent leaks suggest it may instead offer a dual rear camera system with a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, along with a 16-megapixel selfie camera.

Meanwhile, rumours indicate that OnePlus is developing a OnePlus 15s for global markets. The handset is tipped to be back on track and will likely launch with a different camera configuration compared to the OnePlus 15T.
