OnePlus 13T Debuts in China with Snapdragon 8 Elite, 6,260mAh Battery, and Premium Compact Design
The 13T boasts a 6.32-inch FHD+ LTPO AMOLED display (2640×1216, 460 PPI) with ultra-thin bezels, 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 2400 nits of peak brightness. It uses Bright Eye Protection 2.0 to protect your eyes and enhance comfort. At 185g, the phone has balanced weight distribution and is offered in Morning Mist Gray, Cloud Ink Black (silk glass), as well as a Pink version featuring a coral fleece texture. A flat metal frame and unique “metal cube” camera housing enhance the visual appeal. The alert slider has been removed, and a customizable and convenient Shortcut Key has been added.
One of its biggest selling points is the recently released Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is the only compact phone one would assume to score more than 3 million points on AnTuTu. It’s powered by ColorOS 15 (a customized version of Android 15) with AI memory optimizations, a dual-performance engine, and promised five years of updates. It’s all fueled by a massive 6,260mAh battery, which is apparently the largest battery in a compact phone, and charged with 80W fast charging while kept cool by the Glacier Cooling System, which uses a large VC chamber and a large heat dissipation area.
As for the cameras, the OnePlus 13T is said to flaunt a 50MP Sony LYT700 primary sensor, 50MP 2x telephoto lens (4x lossless zoom), as well as a 32MP selfie shooter. Photo quality is improved with AI-assisted image processing, though there’s no ultrawide lens. Connectivity is strong with a G1 Wi-Fi chip, 360° antennas, and up to 50% better signal strength.
Pricing ranges from 2,899 yuan for the 12GB+256GB variant to 3,999 yuan for the 16GB+1TB option post-subsidy. While a global release hasn’t been confirmed, the OnePlus 13T’s compact size, high-end specs, and refreshed design make it a standout offering.
