After launching the OnePlus 13T earlier this year, OnePlus seems to be gearing up for something exciting in 2026. If the latest reports are anything to go by, the company is already working on its next compact flagship, the OnePlus 15T, and possibly even a compact tablet to go along with it.
According to report, OnePlus (along with its Ouga group partners Oppo and Realme) is testing a 6.3-inch compact smartphone and a small tablet. While the brands weren’t named outright, all signs point to OnePlus leading the charge. These new devices are expected to debut in the first half of 2026.

If the leaks are accurate, OnePlus is planning to unveil the OnePlus 15T, which will likely be the successor to the 13T that launched in April 2025. The 13T was praised for its sleek 6.32-inch design and solid performance, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It came with up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, and a sharp AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also packed dual 50MP rear cameras, a 16MP front shooter, IP65 water and dust resistance, and a 6,260mAh battery with fast 80W charging.
Now, the upcoming 15T is expected to keep that compact form but step up the power with Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 (SM8850) chip, potentially making it one of the first phones to launch with the new processor.
But that’s not all. OnePlus may also be branching out into a new category with a compact tablet, possibly called the OnePlus Pad 3 Mini. While details are still under wraps, rumours suggest it could also run on the same powerful chipset, promising a smooth, high-performance experience despite its smaller size.
This move would mark OnePlus’s continued push into compact premium tech, catering to users who want top-tier performance without the bulk of larger devices. It also hints that the brand is ready to experiment with new form factors, particularly in the tablet space.
If the leaks hold up, we can expect more concrete details as we move into 2026. For now, though, it looks like OnePlus is serious about delivering powerful devices that don’t compromise on portability.
