TL;DR

• OnePlus has confirmed the OnePlus 15T design, showing a flat back and a rounded‑square camera island.
• The camera setup is simpler than larger OnePlus flagships, featuring two rear sensors and an LED flash.
• Green and brown color options are confirmed, with a matte green finish and a darker brown variant.

First Look at the OnePlus 15T

After weeks of leaks and rumors, OnePlus has finally revealed the design of its upcoming OnePlus 15T, giving us the first real look at the company’s next compact yet powerful phone. Official images were shared on Weibo, showing a clean, flat back and a smaller camera island than earlier leaks suggested. Like the OnePlus 13T, it features a rounded‑square camera island in the top‑left corner.

The camera module holds two sensors and an LED flash. The rest of the design is minimal, with flat sides, rounded corners, and a slim profile that highlights its compact size.

Colors

OnePlus has confirmed at least two finishes:

• Green – a soft matte finish with a matching camera island.
• Brown – a darker, more understated look.

Display

• Size: 6.32‑inch flat OLED display.
• Design: Very thin bezels and rounded corners, making the phone comfortable to hold despite its smaller footprint compared with most flagship phones (which often exceed 6.7 inches).

Performance

• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
• Memory: Up to 16 GB RAM.

These specs place the OnePlus 15T among the top Android phones.

Battery & Charging

• Battery: Expected 7,500 mAh, unusually large for a compact device.
• Wired charging: Up to 100 W.
• Wireless charging: Up to 50 W.
• Bypass charging: Supported.

Camera

• A periscope telephoto camera offering roughly 3.5× optical zoom, a feature typically reserved for larger flagships.

Durability

• Rated for IP66, IP68, and IP69 protection, meaning it can handle dust, water immersion, and high‑pressure water jets.

Launch Outlook

So far, OnePlus has only confirmed the design and color choices. The full launch is expected soon, likely in China later this month, where pricing and availability details will be announced.
