OnePlus has officially confirmed that the OnePlus 15T is coming soon and it looks to be a rare breed.
Rumours of a smaller, cheaper take on the OnePlus 15 have been doing the rounds for months, and the company has finally given a solid indication that something is afoot.
Over on Chinese social network Weibo, OnePlus Community Manager Shuai Lan has confirmed (via machine translation) that “The dream phone for small-screen enthusiasts is coming soon!”
The hashtag OnePlus 15T is also applied to the post, leaving us in no doubt as to the identity of the company’s next big smartphone launch.

The idea of a compact smartphone (a 6.32-inch AMOLED display is rumoured) with a huge battery (potentially as big as 7500mAh) is a compelling one, alright.
Besides those aforementioned specs, the OnePlus 15T is rumoured to pack wireless charging, dual 50Mp cameras (wide and telephoto), and a 16Mp front camera. Despite that huge battery, it could weigh a very reasonable 194g.
I really hope OnePlus does the right thing with the 15T this time around. It could give the Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 a run for their money.
The problem is that I have doubts over the OnePlus 15T’s wider availability. This teaser is very much targeted at the Chinese market, and we simply can’t see the final product being brought over to the West.
Last year, the OnePlus 13T (pictured above) only launched in China and India (as the 13s with slightly different specs).
Given the recent news of OnePlus’s poor performance and rumours that its days are numbered, I’m not too hopeful that a global launch is on the cards for the OnePlus 15T.
I’d be delighted to be proved wrong, though.
