The OnePlus 15T is moving away from the design of other OnePlus 15 series phones.
The design of OnePlus' next compact flagship phone has emerged online. Appearing shortly after a spyshot of the same device leaked, the new image indicates that OnePlus is embracing a design championed by the iPhone 17 Pro. The OnePlus 15T should feature Qualcomm's current Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, too.

OnePlus has already released the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R (curr. $699 on Amazon) in the last six months. Nonetheless, the company is preparing to expand the OnePlus 15 series with a third model.

Earlier this week, OnePlus confirmed that it had been developing the OnePlus 15T. Shortly afterwards, charging and camera hardware details emerged in separate leaks. Then, the same smartphone was spotted in a hands-on leak.

Now, a different picture showing the OnePlus 15T has emerged on Chinese social media. Embedded below, the image appears to be official despite OnePlus not making any official announcements yet. Surprisingly, the OnePlus 15T departs from the OnePlus 15 and OnePlus 15R with an iPhone 17 Pro-style camera bar.

Nonetheless, the device is only expected to feature dual 50 MP rear-facing cameras. The leaked picture indicates that OnePlus has included a large battery too, which is rumoured to reach around 7,500 mAh. Other rumoured hardware includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a 6.32-inch AMOLED display that resolves at 1.5K with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
