Li Jie revealed that the OnePlus 15T will feature a new LUMO periscope telephoto lens, promising notable improvements in both hardware and image processing. The company claims meaningful gains in clarity for distant subjects while also delivering better portrait depth and atmosphere.
Reports suggest the handset may include a 50-megapixel periscope camera with an 85mm focal length equivalent to 3.5x optical zoom, an F2.8 aperture, and OIS support. Camera samples have also surfaced to reveal the capabilities of the phone’s periscope camera.

Reports have revealed that the OnePlus 15T will pack a massive battery of around 7,000 to 7,500mAh capacity. It is said to measure 8.5mm in thickness and weigh around 194 grams.
