OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 13T today, April 24, 2025, in China, touting it as a compact yet capable flagship. Starting at 3,399 yuan (roughly ₹40,000 or $470), or 2,899 yuan (around ₹34,000 or $400) with subsidies, this compact beast packs flagship-grade performance, a massive battery, and a new design.
The OnePlus 13T redefines compact flagships with a 6.32-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display (2640×1216, 460 PPI, 120Hz, 2400 nits), featuring ultra-narrow bezels and Bright Eye Protection 2.0. Its 185g body, with a 50:50 weight balance, comes in Morning Mist Gray, Pink (coral fleece glass), and Cloud Ink Black (silk glass), sporting a flat metal frame and a new “metal cube” camera deco. A customizable shortcut key replaces the alert slider, adding versatility.
Compact yet capable
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the 13T scores over 3 million on AnTuTu, a first for small-screen phones. It runs ColorOS 15 (Android 15) with a smooth dual engine, AI flash memory, and five years of updates. The 6,260mAh battery—”world’s largest” for a small-screen phone—supports 80W fast charging. The Glacier Cooling System, with a 4400mm² VC and 37,000mm² total heat dissipation, keeps it cool during intense gaming like “Ni Shui Han” at 1.5K 120fps.
Camera-wise, it mirrors the OnePlus 13 with a 50MP Sony LYT700 main sensor, 50MP 2x telephoto (OnePlus claims 4x lossless zoom), and 32MP front camera, enhanced by flagship AI imaging and shadowless capture. Connectivity shines with a G1 Wi-Fi chip, 360° antenna system, and up to 50% stronger signals. Unfortunately, it lacks an ultrawide.
Pricing and availability:
Priced from 2,899 yuan (₹34,000) for 12GB+256GB to 3,999 yuan (₹47,000) for 16GB+1TB post-subsidy, it’s a steal for its specs. While a global launch remains unconfirmed, the 13T’s compact form, refreshed design, and strong performance make it well worth the attention.
