According to new reports from Digital Chat Station, it seems that OnePlus is working on a smaller-screen device with a flagship CPU. The new compact smartphone will launch as OnePlus 15s or OnePlus 15T, depending on the market. This strategy has been used with the OnePlus 13T and 13s, and as you can imagine, the new device is a successor to this particular lineup.
OnePlus 15s / OnePlus 15T Will Be The Brand’s Next Compact Flagships
The OnePlus 15T and 15s will come in the first half of 2026 with the Qualcomm Snapdrgon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC on board. The smartphone will carry a 6.31-inch screen with 1.5K resolution. It’s a LTPS display with adaptative refresh rate. The rumors suggest small bezels on all sides, and the phone will also carry an under-display fingerprint scanner with 3D ultrasonic technology.
The OnePlus 15s is also said to carry IP68 certification, ensuring dust and water resistance. The phone will have a 7,000mAh battery capacity, and we expect it to come paired with at least 100W fast-charging support. Curiously, a previous rumor suggested the OnePlus 15T/15s to also carry a third camera setup on the back. We don’t know exactly which camera combo is coming with this device, but we can bet on the usual 50MP main camera with OIS, and an 8 MP ultrawide shooter. Time will tell the purpose of this rumored third camera module.

The trend of compact flagships has been gaining ground among Chinese brands. We believe that the numbers should justify the insistence in this category. It’s an interesting twist, but it shows that these brands are doing the correct job with these phones. They are compact, but not so small, and still bring powerful batteries. The OnePlus 13T conquered its user base, and the OnePlus 15T is coming to maintain and attract more users in this particular segment.
