OnePlus is ready for its new OnePlus 13T launch this month. Although a large unveiling for China is now set, the device is discussing a little worldwide, mainly with its anticipated powerful hardware, compact form factor, and some unexpected upgrade-alert slider, including a alert slider-one beef battery and a brand-new shortcut button. OnePlus has also teased 13T to be “Big Devil, Small Screen” (translated by teaser), which only adds to the anticipation of a new OnePlus device that is compact, yet provides a powerful chip. Now, while there is no official confirmation of a global or Indian release yet, technical enthusiasts and fans of OnePlus are definitely keeping a close watch on it here.

OnePlus has not explained much in the context of the specifications, but rumors and renders are giving us a decent idea as to what is expected. So, let’s break whatever we know till now – from glasses and design to potential value and launch details of the upcoming OnePlus 13T.

OnePlus 13t rumor design and performance

Rumors suggest that OnePlus 13T will bring flagship-grade performance in comparatively compact size. Unlike the large OnePlus 13, which sports a 6.82-inch display, 13T is expected to feature a 6.3-inch OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Small screen, but equally capable.

On the design front, rumors indicate a premium glass back, metal frame and flat edges. We have seen that the brands have been seen shifting more and more to the flat edges – especially in compact phones – so this rumor seems likely. Photos floating around the Internet also show the phone showing flat edges. Compact and lightweight, according to rumors, OnePlus 13T weighs about 185 grams. In fact, it is said that it is much lighter than OnePlus 13. However, compact size is not expected to come at the cost of battery capacity.

OnePlus 13t Battery & Charging

Yes, OnePlus 13T does not compromise on the battery. According to rumors, it can come up with a 6,200mAh battery – which is actually larger than a unit of 6,000mAh in OnePlus 13. If this is true, we can see one of the best battery artists in compact flagship space.

But a business may stop. Although it is expected to support 80W wired fast charging, wireless charging can be abandoned – the weight and size is likely to be kept in examination.

OnePlus 13t Snapdragon 8 Elite to come with

Powerful – but how? Well, here is where it becomes properly exciting. OnePlus 13t has been touched to be one of the first compact phones operated by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset-Flagship OnePlus 13 is the same high-end processor found in OnePlus 13.

In fact, renders also suggest this, and recently an Antutu benchmark (model PKX110) showed it a score of over 3 million.

We have tested OnePlus 13 and have seen the sheer power of Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset, so it is safe to say that it should fly through gaming, multitasking and even AI works demand. OnePlus 13T is also asked to come up to 16GB with LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage – smooth performance with a punch.

OnePlus 13t Camera

Another trade-off-or rather flagship-level will be a little bit of katown-camera lens. Rumors suggests that instead of going for a triple or quad-camera system like most flagships, OnePlus 13t will have a dual-camera setup: a 50-megapixel main sensor (with OIS) and 50-megapixel telephoto lens (2x optical zoom).

While the combo will probably provide concrete results for everyday shots and portraits, the deficiency of an ultra-wide lens may leave some users more fans. At the front, there is a punch-hal selfie camera, although the exact specs is not yet revealed.

OnePlus 13T software

13T is expected to debut with Android 15. In China, it will run alaros 15, while any global version – if it launches – will probably be the convenience of oxygen, which is as usual.

Magic Cube button

A large surprise with OnePlus 13T can be to remove alert slider, which has a signature onePlus feature over the years. Taking it is a new programmable ‘Magic Cube’ button – not contrary to Apple’s action button on the iPhone 15 Pro.

According to OnePlus China Chairman Lee G Luis, this new button will still let you switch the sound profile, but it will also support adaptable shortcuts for things like launching the camera, turning on the torch, and more.

OnePlus 13T price and India launched

So far, OnePlus has only confirmed a launch in China later this month. There is no official word on it whether it will enter India – or elsewhere – yet.

For pricing, if it follows the tendency of the earlier T-series phones, 13T may launch for somewhere between 4,000-4,500 in China, which translates around Rs 47,000-53,000 rupees. If it makes its way for India, the pricing will be slightly different due to taxes and local market dynamics.
