. As of January 12, 2026, industry insiders indicate that this model will likely debut in the Indian market under the OnePlus 15s moniker, continuing the brand’s tradition of regional rebadging for high-performance editions.
Power and Storage: Breaking the Flagship Mold
The headline feature of the OnePlus 15T is undoubtedly its massive 7,500mAh silicon-carbon battery. This advanced battery technology allows for higher energy density without increasing the phone’s physical thickness to uncomfortable levels.
Coupled with rumored 150W SuperVOOC fast charging, users can expect to power through two full days of heavy use and top up the device in under 30 minutes. To match this endurance, OnePlus is also reportedly offering a top-tier variant with 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage and 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM, targeting power users and mobile gamers.
Design leaks point toward a refreshed aesthetic with a new “Emerald Glaze” and “Obsidian Matte” color palette. The camera housing appears to have moved toward a more integrated, seamless look that blends into the frame, housing a refined 50MP Sony LYTIA primary sensor.
This combination of extreme longevity and professional-grade hardware positions the 15T as a formidable competitor to the recently launched Galaxy S26 series, particularly for those who prioritize raw specs and charging speed over software ecosystems.

India Launch and Market Positioning
The transition to the “OnePlus 15s” name for the Indian launch follows a strategic shift to align the “T” series with the “S” series performance branding seen in other Asian markets. This move aims to streamline the portfolio while offering a “mid-cycle refresh” that feels like a brand-new generation.
Experts anticipate an aggressive pricing strategy in India to capture the premium-midrange segment before the festive season kicks off later this year.
According to GSMArena, the device will likely feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 “Leading Edition” chipset, providing a slight clock-speed advantage over the standard 15 series.
With the inclusion of an upgraded cooling system and a 144Hz LTPO display, the OnePlus 15T (or 15s) is shaping up to be the ultimate media and gaming machine of 2026. As official teasers are expected to drop in the coming weeks, the excitement surrounding this “Battery King” continues to grow among the OnePlus community.
