The OnePlus 13T and 13s are still fresh on the market, but we’re already hearing whispers about what’s next. If the latest information holds up, OnePlus 15T and 15s could be the next step in the brand’s premium compact series — and yes, it looks like OnePlus may skip the number 14 entirely, following a tradition some brands observe in parts of Asia due to superstition around the number.
While OnePlus hasn’t confirmed anything officially, early details give us a basic idea of what’s likely changing and what’s staying familiar.
What Could Be Different from OnePlus 13T and 13s
According to early sources, the OnePlus 15T and 15s will likely keep the same display size as their predecessors. So, expect another compact but high-end phone aimed at users who don’t want giant screens in their pockets.
But it’s not all the same.
A Third Camera Makes Its Way In
One of the most noticeable changes might be in the camera setup. Both the 13T and 13s came with dual rear cameras. This time, the 15T and 15s are expected to offer triple rear cameras.
Details about what kind of sensor that third camera will be are still unclear. However, it’s a fair guess that an ultrawide lens might be added, giving users more flexibility for group shots, wide landscapes, or creative angles without having to back up.
If OnePlus does this right, it could bring the camera experience more in line with other premium models — without driving up the price too far.
Battery
Battery life is always a big concern for buyers, and OnePlus seems to know that. Reports suggest that the 15 series will come with a bigger battery than what’s in the 13T and 13s.
While no exact battery size has been confirmed, even a small jump could help these compact phones go from “day-long” to “almost two-day” usage, especially when paired with OnePlus’s typical charging speeds.
Processor
This one’s almost a given. Every new generation of flagship phones usually brings a new processor, and the 15T and 15s are expected to use a newer chipset.
It’s too early to name the exact processor, but since the current 13T series uses top-end silicon, the next ones will likely stick to that standard, possibly using a next-gen Snapdragon or Dimensity chip, depending on region and model.
Performance improvements usually mean better gaming, smoother multitasking, and longer battery efficiency. We’ll know more once benchmarks or real-world tests come out, but the trend points toward a meaningful jump.
Design and Display
As of now, the screen size is expected to stay the same. So, those who prefer phones that fit comfortably in one hand will probably be happy. It’s likely to stay in the 6.1 to 6.3-inch range, which is where OnePlus has been placing these “T” and “s” models aimed at high-end specs in a compact body.
There’s no info yet on whether the design will change but considering how minor the shift was from OnePlus 11 to 12, we might not see a full redesign this time either.
Availability
That part is still unclear. OnePlus could stick to its usual update schedule and launch them next year, or it might move things up, depending on how the current models perform in the market. No launch timeline has been confirmed yet, but given how early these leaks are, there’s still time before anything official happens.
Final Thoughts
These early OnePlus 15T and 15s leaks suggest modest but meaningful upgrades, especially with the expected triple camera setup, bigger battery, and new chipset. If you already bought the 13T or 13s, you’re still in good hands. But if you’ve been waiting to upgrade, and these new models bring enough new features, it might be worth the wait.
