OnePlus 13T Launching in China with 6,260mAh Battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset

Now, it has been confirmed that the OnePlus 13T will feature a 6,260mAh glacier battery, which will make it the world’s first compact phone to pack a 6,000mAh battery. This surpasses the 5,700mAh batteries found in the OPPO Find X8s and Vivo X200 Pro Mini.

It will also offer bypass charging, which means the device can get power from the charger instead of the battery — this reduces heating. The official pre-reservation page was made available on the OnePlus website, confirming the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite silicon in the OnePlus 13T.

“Silk glass technology” is also one of its highlights, which delivers a silky and smooth touch feel. In a new Weibo post a few days ago confirmed that this phone will be available in the Cloud Ink Black color option. The 6.32-inch display will be housed in a compact body measuring just 71.1mm in width, and the phone will weigh just 185 grams with a 50:50 balanced weight distribution, ensuring comfortable long-time usage.

OnePlus also confirmed that a Sandstone Magnetic protective case will be included, as well as “OPPO Mag Magnetic” support, allowing the use of different magnetic accessories. The OnePlus 13T will feature a new ‘Quick Key’ action button, replacing the alert slider, and the port layout will closely resemble the OnePlus 13. In comparison to the larger OnePlus 13, the 13T has a smaller form factor and a redesigned camera module, though it lacks a coating like the flagship model and does not feature Hasselblad branding.

While pricing details are not yet confirmed, the OnePlus 13T is expected to be the most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered phone on the market, likely undercutting the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition, which currently starts at CNY 3,099 (approximately ₹36,300).
