The boom of compacts - OnePlus 15T and IQOO 15 Mini are being developed, which, despite their size, will not compromise
Silicon-honeycomb battery technology has given a second wind to compact smartphones. Of course, 10 years ago, we would not have called them compact, but it is what it is. Vivo X300, Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini (tentatively titled), and Nubia Air are expected to be released this year. The OnePlus 15T and IQOO 15 Mini are going to join the cohort of small but powerful smartphones.
A well-known Chinese informant under the nickname Smart Pikachu said that OnePlus and IQOO are currently testing prototypes of compact smartphones with powerful content. According to him, these will be gaming smartphones with 7000 mAh batteries. There is even information that the new products will have the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor. Among other things, the smartphones will have flat displays with ultrasonic fingerprint scanners underneath.
The new products are at an early stage of development and are expected to be released in the second quarter of 2026.
