Friends, if you’re into compact phones, you’ve probably noticed we’ve got more options than ever right now—but honestly, the Samsung S26 and iPhone 17e still don’t fully satisfy everyone. That’s exactly where the OnePlus 15T steps in, and I’ve been genuinely excited about it because OnePlus has always taken a different approach with small-screen flagships. In this video I break down why I’d call the 15T a complete upgrade across the board: stronger performance, a more refined design, a monster battery, and better cameras. I tested the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with proper gaming (Genshin Impact and high-intensity runs), and the stability and thermals were seriously impressive—this thing can rival, and sometimes beat, bigger phones. Then you’ve got the 165Hz display (mostly 120Hz in apps, but a real advantage in supported FPS games), plus a 7500mAh battery that can realistically push close to two days if you’re not endlessly scrolling. Add 100W wired charging, 50W wireless, an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a wild list of IP ratings up to IP69K, and it’s hard not to see why OnePlus is calling it the “small screen king”—especially at around £469 (China pricing converted).
