  • We have an official teaser image for the OnePlus 15T
  • The phone is launching in China later this month
  • It stretches the OnePlus definition of a 'small screen king'

We gave the OnePlus 15 a rare five-out-of-five star rating after its launch in October, so we're very much looking forward to what the updated OnePlus 15T update of the phone has to offer — and we just got our first official look at the handset.

OnePlus has taken to the Chinese social media platform Weibo (via Notebookcheck) to give us a teaser image of the OnePlus 15T. As you can see, the design language is very similar to what we saw with the OnePlus 15.

We do get a couple of new colors to take a look at though, green and brown. It's not clear yet what the official OnePlus names for these colors are going to be, or if these are the only colors you're going to be able to buy the handset in.

The text on the teaser graphic reads "Performance and battery life surpass large-screen phones, flagship experience outdoes small-screen phones", based on translation software — giving you some idea of how OnePlus is positioning this app.

Here's what we know

Thanks to earlier teases from OnePlus and its executives, we know quite a bit about the upcoming OnePlus 15T. It's apparently going to feature very narrow bezels (a little over a millimeter), maximizing the available screen size.

That screen size is going to be 6.3 inches corner to corner, compared to the 6.78 inches of the OnePlus 15T. OnePlus exec Li Jie Louis has previously called the handset a "small screen king" (via a translation app), which is stretching the definition somewhat.

We also know there will be a hefty 7,500 mAh capacity battery inside the OnePlus 15T, beating the 7,300 mAh on the OnePlus 15. We're also going to get 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, with the main flagship offering 120W and 50W respectively.

The last bit of confirmed news is a 3.5x telephoto lens, matching the OnePlus 15 — though there will only be two rear cameras rather than three. The handset is going to launch in China this month, with global availability potentially following afterwards.
