Exploring the World with OnePlus 15T’s Periscope Camera and Stunning Slim Bezels

The upcoming OnePlus 15T appears to be moving away from being a compromised ‘almost-flagship’ and towards becoming a compact powerhouse.

Last week, it was officially announced that the OnePlus 15T is “Coming Soon,” though its wider availability remains uncertain.

Despite potential limited release, the phone is shaping up to be impressive. OnePlus China President Li Jie Louis has shared intriguing details on Weibo, hinting at a new zoom camera.

It seems that the OnePlus 15T will feature an enhanced periscope telephoto lens with improvements in optical hardware, algorithms, and tuning, resulting in sharper distant shots and more artistic portraits.

iPhone-beating bezels

Despite the addition of a more advanced zoom camera, the OnePlus 15T is said to maintain its slim profile and lightweight build, although specific measurements have not been disclosed.

In a subsequent post, the OnePlus executive revealed that the OnePlus 15T will sport uniform and extremely thin bezels, measuring less than 2mm on all sides, potentially making them the narrowest among small smartphones.

OnePlus’s ability to achieve such thin bezels is attributed to owning its screen production line and implementing new chip-level packaging processes, along with groundbreaking screen packaging technologies.

Initial reports suggest the phone will feature a 6.32-inch 165Hz AMOLED display and a massive 7,500mAh battery. It is evolving into a compact alternative rather than a watered-down version of the OnePlus 15.

If OnePlus chooses the right market for the OnePlus 15T, it could surpass competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Google Pixel 11.
