OnePlus Reportedly Halts Development on Compact Flagship Smartphones

OnePlus has no plans to develop future iterations of its compact smartphone series according to industry insider Digital Chat Station. The brand launched the OnePlus 15T earlier this year as a dedicated compact flagship running on top tier Snapdragon hardware. While current stock remains available starting at 4299 yuan ($595), future releases will pivot toward wider displays instead.

The OnePlus 15T runs on the fifth generation Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. A 7500 mAh battery supplies power to offset the high battery drain typical of compact mobile devices. The handset measures 71.82 millimeters across the frame and weighs 194 grams. A balanced 50 to 50 weight profile keeps the chassis stable in hand, while screen bezels measure 1.1 millimeters on all 4 sides of the 6.32 inch panel. The rear camera housing uses a compact metal square profile designed to stay flat against fingers during two handed use.

OnePlus offers the 15T in 5 hardware tiers in China. The entry model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage costs 4299 yuan ($595). Stepping up to 16GB RAM and 256GB storage brings the price to 4599 yuan ($635). The 512GB storage version costs 4899 yuan ($678) with 12GB RAM and 5199 yuan ($720) with 16GB RAM. The top tier edition pairing 16GB RAM with 1TB of storage retails for 5699 yuan ($790).
