Summary
OnePlus is testing a new compact-phone prototype with a 6.3-inch flat display and Qualcomm’s unreleased Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chip, according to tipster Digital Chat Station.
The flagship-class processor suggests the device is likely the OnePlus 16T, indicating the company has not dropped smaller premium phones even as the OnePlus 15s reportedly faces cancellation.
Development is said to be progressing smoothly, pointing to a likely first-quarter 2027 launch that would roughly match the March timing of this year’s China-only 15T.
Global availability remains unclear because OnePlus is reportedly pulling back in several international markets, raising the possibility that the next compact model could also stay China-exclusive.
