By using the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 as the OnePlus 15, the company is signalling that the 15T is not a cut-down compact phone but a full-fledged flagship alternative with a smaller footprint.
OnePlus has also confirmed 100W SuperVOOC wired charging for the 15T, meaning the large battery will not come with a major compromise in charging speed.
The teased flat metal frame should improve the device’s structural feel and bring it closer to flagship expectations in hand, even before official pricing is revealed.
OnePlus appears ready to flip a familiar compact-phone limitation on its head. Despite the 6.32-inch screen, the 15T is set to pack a 7,500mAh battery, which could make it one of the most endurance-focused small flagships around.
With a 16GB + 1TB version confirmed, OnePlus is clearly targeting enthusiast buyers who want maximum storage and headroom for gaming, media, apps and long-term use.

In addition to wired charging, OnePlus says the phone will support 50W wireless charging, a premium feature that many compact phones still skip.
OnePlus has also confirmed 100W SuperVOOC wired charging for the 15T, meaning the large battery will not come with a major compromise in charging speed.

OnePlus has confirmed that the 15T will include a 7,500mAh Glacier Battery, which is one of the biggest cells we are seeing in a compact flagship smartphone. This is likely to be one of the phone’s biggest selling points.
