New Delhi: OnePlus has unveiled its latest compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T, in China, bringing a rare combination of a relatively small form factor and a massive battery. The device’s distinctive feature is the 7,500mAh battery, which puts the device in the category of the largest in its category but yet remains lightweight, weighing less than 200 grams.
The release is another indication that OnePlus keeps pushing on the performance-battery life ratio in high-end smartphones. Using Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the OnePlus 15T is targeted at a specific group of users who want high-end performance, particularly in terms of gaming and multitasking, without sacrificing portability.
OnePlus 15T price and availability
Starting at CNY 4,299 (around Rs 58,000), the OnePlus 15T is sold in a 12GB RAM and 256GB model. The 12GB + 512GB version retails at CNY 4,899, whereas the 16GB + 256GB model has a retail price of CNY 4,599. There are higher-end models, 16GB + 512GB at CNY 5,199 and another high-end model, 16GB + 1TB, at CNY 5,699 (approximately Rs 78,000).
The smartphone is already being sold in China in official online stores. It is available in three colour varieties, including Healing White Chocolate, Pure Cocoa, and Relaxing Matcha. No official news on its India release as yet, but it is likely to be released as a successor to the OnePlus 13s, perhaps under a different name.
OnePlus 15T features and specifications
The OnePlus 15T has a 6.32-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED screen with a high 165Hz refresh rate and maximum brightness of 1,800 nits. Its small screen size and high-quality display pre-specifications make it well suited to both media and games.
It is powered by Qualcomm’s most recent flagship chipset, with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB UFS 4.1 storage, under the hood. It also comes with a new kernel, Wind Chaser Gaming, that is aimed at improving gaming performance and efficiency.
OnePlus 15T camera, battery and connection
In the case of photography, the OnePlus 15T has a dual rear camera equipped with a 50MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera with an optical zoom of 3.5x and a lossless zoom of 7x. It has a 16MP selfie and video call camera on the front.
Its 7,500mAh battery, with 100W wired SuperVOOC charging and 50W wireless charging, is the largest highlight. It has connectivity features such as 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, NFC, and a USB Type-C connector. An in-display fingerprint sensor completes the flagship feature package of the device as well.
