OnePlus 15s compact flagship phone may launch in 2026

Earlier this year, reports surfaced suggesting OnePlus had abandoned plans for a compact flagship phone called the OnePlus 15s. However, a new leak now indicates the company may have reversed course and revived the project. According to insider Yogesh Brar, OnePlus has resumed plans to launch the 15s model in 2026. The device is expected to be a direct successor to the OnePlus 13T, which was later adapted for the Indian market as the OnePlus 13s.

Despite the project's return, the leak comes with mixed signals. The source claims to have heard less-than-positive feedback about the current situation within the company, echoing earlier rumors about a strategic review of OnePlus's global market approach.

Additionally, reports suggest the compact model, featuring a screen around 6.3 inches, could launch with a redesigned camera system. It remains unclear whether these changes will represent an improvement or a compromise to accommodate the smaller form factor.

With no official comment from OnePlus yet, all information remains speculative. Nevertheless, the mere possibility of the OnePlus 15s returning has already captured the attention of fans of compact flagship devices.
