OnePlus 15s Development Resumes
Recent reports suggest that the OnePlus 15s, a compact flagship model and the successor to last year’s OnePlus 13s, is back in development after earlier rumours hinted at its cancellation for the Indian market. This device is believed to be based on the upcoming OnePlus 15T, which is expected to launch soon in China. The leak comes from tipster Yogesh Brar, who previously mentioned the potential shelving of the 15s but now indicates that the project has been revived with some changes to its camera system.
Camera Changes and Specifications
While details remain scarce, the source reveals that the OnePlus 15s will feature altered optics compared to what was initially planned. The OnePlus 15T is rumoured to sport either a 200-megapixel or 50-megapixel main sensor paired with a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, but it might omit an ultra-wide camera. Speculation suggests that the 15s could opt for a 50-megapixel primary sensor instead of the higher resolution 200-megapixel option seen on the 15T. However, this remains unconfirmed and should be treated as an early assumption until more concrete information emerges.
Context and Upcoming Launches
The OnePlus 15R was unveiled in December, marking the last new release from the company, and since then, no new devices have been launched. There was talk of the Nord 6 arriving in March, but that launch has reportedly been delayed. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 15T is expected to debut in China with impressive specifications including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 6.32-inch OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 165Hz refresh rate, up to 16GB of LPDDR5x RAM, and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. The device is also said to feature a large 7,500mAh battery supporting 100W wired charging along with wireless charging capabilities.
What to Expect Next
The revival of the OnePlus 15s indicates that the brand might be aiming to offer a more tailored flagship experience, possibly targeting markets like India where the phone was initially thought to be cancelled. The 15s could launch in the second quarter of the year, following the 15T’s expected release in China. Fans and potential buyers should keep an eye out for further leaks and official announcements to clarify the final specifications and availability of the OnePlus 15s.
