OnePlus 15T launch live updates: OnePlus is launching the new 15T smartphone officially today, March 24. Over the past couple of weeks, OnePlus has been teasing the specifications of the upcoming 15T smartphone. Although the phone’s complete specifications are yet to be revealed, the company has started accepting pre-booking for the OnePlus 15T. Here’s everything we know about the new OnePlus 15T and for the live updates, you can follow this blog.
OnePlus 15T specifications
OnePlus 15T will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. It will be offered in several configurations – 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, 16GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. It will be offered in three colour options – Relaxing Matcha, Pure Cocoa, and Healing White Chocolate.
OnePlus 15T will have a 32-megapixel camera on the front and a dual 50MP camera setup, which will include a 3.5x periscope telephoto camera.
OnePlus 15T can be attached to a range of magnetic accessories that can be purchased separately. There is a Magnetic Ice Card Slim Cooler that measures 9.8mm thick and weighs just 68g. There’s also a 40W Super Freezing Point Magnetic cooler and a 50W AIRVOOC wireless charger with a stand.
The phone will have a massive 7,500mAh battery with support for 100W wired, 50W wireless, and bypass charging. The phone will run on Android 16 with a layer of ColorOS 16 on top.
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.
Until OnePlus reveals official pricing, the OnePlus 13T remains the clearest reference point. That model started at CNY 3,399 and went up to CNY 4,499 for the 16GB + 1TB variant
Some reports suggest the phone could arrive in global markets as the OnePlus 15s, though this remains unconfirmed by the company. That possibility is worth watching after the China debut.
As of now, OnePlus has only confirmed the China launch for the 15T. There is no official global rollout announcement yet, though some reports have hinted at a different name for international markets.
OnePlus has also confirmed a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, a major highlight for a compact device and a clear camera upgrade talking point in the build-up to launch.
OnePlus has confirmed a 50-megapixel main camera with a Sony Ultra Vision sensor, claiming improved light capture and better detail across lighting conditions.
OnePlus 15T is confirmed to feature a dual rear camera unit, which fits with the compact flagship design and suggests OnePlus is focusing on quality over camera count here.
OnePlus 15T is also confirmed to support bypass charging, which allows power to be routed directly while gaming instead of heating the battery excessively. That is an especially attractive feature for sustained gaming sessions.
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.
A 7,500mAh battery inside a 6.32-inch flagship-class phone is a notable move by OnePlus. It gives the company a clear differentiation point against other compact premium phones that typically prioritise slimness over endurance.
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.
OnePlus 15T launch event is scheduled to take place at 4:30pm IST.
OnePlus has confirmed that the 15T will ship with ColorOS 16 based on Android 16 in China. That means the software experience will be aligned with the latest Oppo ecosystem enhancements in the company’s home market.
The company says the OnePlus 15T scored more than 4.45 million points on a benchmarking platform, underlining how aggressively it is marketing raw performance ahead of launch.
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 confirmed that the 15T will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the same chipset used in the flagship OnePlus 15. That places the compact phone firmly in premium-performance territory from day one.
OnePlus 15T is tipped to feature an enhanced ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, which should allow faster and more reliable unlocking than standard optical solutions. That adds a premium touch to the compact flagship package.
OnePlus has teased extremely strong durability credentials for the 15T, with IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K ratings mentioned in launch previews. If confirmed at launch, that would make it one of the more rugged premium smartphones in its class.
The display is expected to feature a hole-punch cutout for the front camera, a layout that helps preserve screen space while keeping the phone aligned with current flagship design trends.
Reports suggest the left edge of the OnePlus 15T may carry the Plus key, continuing the shortcut-focused hardware control introduced on recent models. That would give users a quick-access button instead of relying only on the older Alert Slider concept.
Design teasers point to the power button and volume controls on the right edge of the OnePlus 15T. This standard layout keeps the phone familiar in daily use, especially for users upgrading from earlier OnePlus devices
Teaser images and launch previews show the phone with a square-shaped rear camera island housing two lenses and an LED flash. The camera bump appears compact, matching the overall small flagship aesthetic that OnePlus is pushing here.
OnePlus 15T has been teased with a flat display, flat rear panel and flat metal frame, signalling a more squared-off, modern design language. This look also tends to appeal to buyers who prefer a clean and sturdy in-hand feel.
OnePlus previews indicate the handset could feature very slim bezels, with one report mentioning 1.1mm ultra-thin borders on all four sides. That should help maximise screen presence without making the compact phone feel oversized.
Reports suggest the OnePlus 15T will carry a 1.5K-resolution OLED panel, giving it sharper visuals than standard full-HD panels. That should help with gaming, video playback and text clarity while preserving the premium flagship feel.
OnePlus has teased that the 15T’s display can offer up to 165Hz refresh rate, with the highest refresh rate said to be supported in select game categories. This immediately positions the phone as a serious gaming-focused compact flagship.
Multiple previews indicate the OnePlus 15T will feature a 6.32-inch display, staying close to the compact-screen format of its predecessor. This could make it appealing to users who want flagship power in a phone that is easier to handle one-handed.
OnePlus 15T is expected to continue the brand’s compact flagship approach, succeeding the OnePlus 13T with a small-screen design but high-end internals. That positioning could help it stand out in a market increasingly dominated by larger phones.
Reports indicate the OnePlus 15T may launch in China at a higher price than the OnePlus 13T, though the exact figure remains under wraps. For reference, the OnePlus 13T started at CNY 3,399 for the base 12GB + 256GB version.
Ahead of launch, OnePlus has confirmed the phone in three colourways, translated as Healing White Chocolate, Pure Cocoa and Relaxing Matcha. The shades suggest the company is leaning into a softer, lifestyle-oriented finish for this compact flagship.
OnePlus has opened pre-orders for the OnePlus 15T in China before launch. The phone is listed through official channels, showing that the company is building momentum early for its compact flagship smartphone.
OnePlus 15T is confirmed to arrive in five RAM and storage options, including 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB. That gives buyers multiple choices across performance and storage needs.
OnePlus 15T is scheduled to launch in China on March 24 at 7 PM local time, which is 4:30 PM IST. The company has already opened pre-orders ahead of the unveiling, while the full price list will be revealed only at the event.
