OnePlus has started teasing its next compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T, and on paper it checks a lot of the right boxes. But if you were hoping for a major camera upgrade this year, the latest leak might temper expectations a bit.
According to Weibo tipster 老陈Air, the 15T will feature a dual rear camera setup. The primary sensor is said to be Sony’s LYTIA 700 (1/1.56″ size) with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS. Alongside it sits a Samsung ISOCELL JN5 (1/2.76″ size) telephoto camera at f/2.8, also with optical stabilization.
If that configuration sounds familiar, it’s because it largely mirrors the OnePlus 13T (our review). And yes — once again, there’s reportedly no ultrawide camera.
The LYT-700 is very close to what we saw in the 13T in terms of size and light intake, the 1/1.56″ IMX 906, and the telephoto aperture is actually narrower this time (f/2.8 versus f/2.0 previously). That suggests refinement rather than a real hardware leap.
That said, minor improvements may come from software processing and whatever imaging enhancements the new chipset enables.
Outside the camera department, though, the 15T looks far more ambitious. Leaks point to a 6.31-inch OLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. Performance should be top-tier, thanks to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Rumors suggest a massive 7,500mAh battery paired with either 100W or 120W fast charging. If that capacity holds true in a smaller chassis, it would be genuinely impressive and could give the phone serious endurance credentials.
The OnePlus 15T looks like it’s shaping up to be a performance-first compact flagship — big battery, high refresh rate, flagship silicon — but with a camera setup that plays it safe. For users who value telephoto zoom and one-handed usability over ultrawide versatility, that may be perfectly fine. For others, it could feel like a missed opportunity.
