According to the OnePlus fans, the upcoming OnePlus 13T could be a revolution in the flagship mobile offerings with the 13T phone for the powerful performance and a compact phone. While OnePlus hasn’t officially dropped the design and specs of its upcoming ‘mini flagship’, there are several leaked details that have shed some light on the upcoming OnePlus device. Read all the information about the upcoming OnePlus 13T phone, its unique features and why you should be excited about it in this article.
Why the OnePlus 13T Stands Out?
The 13T will be the first to use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which will make it one of the most powerful compact smartphones available. The processor also gives the users who want a compact phone a flagship strength performance with efficiency and speed. The device is premium spec with a compact design that makes it suitable for users who want the best of the best and portability.
Design and Launch
Insiders call the 13T 'big devil small screen', a name given to the phone because of its compact size but big performance. The leaked image depicts a glass back design, with flat edged aluminum frame, giving the device a contemporary and stylish look. The rear camera module is placed on a metal island in the vertical arrangement of Apple’s iPhone 16 series. The predictions are that the 13T will be released in the China market on April 2025. OnePlus, however, has a habit of global releases after their Chinese launches, so we don’t know yet where the 13T will be available globally.
Camera and Battery Specifications
OnePlus 13T will have a dual camera setup:
-
50MP primary sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) for sharp and stable images.
-
50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom for detailed close-ups.
This camera configuration has implemented this basic setup and provides better image results as well as better device zoom potential. The selfie camera specifications of the company are yet to be revealed, but it has promised to provide flagship level performance. The battery capacity is the key feature. 13T is said to have a 6,200mAh battery with 80W fast charging, which is higher than the 6,000mAh battery in the OnePlus 13 series.
Display and Performance
The compact phone will also come with 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate on a 6.3-inch OLED display, along with smooth visuals and vibrant colors. The phone has a smaller display than the 6.82 inch screen on the OnePlus 13 flagship model, and therefore is suitable for people who like small devices.
The device is going to have a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage to provide the ultimate speed for everything from gaming to AI operations. The phone runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 in the Chinese market.
Performance Benchmarks
OnePlus 13T leaked AnTuTu benchmark score shows total of 3,006,913 points, which is broken down as follows:
-
CPU: 678,498
-
GPU: 1,268,838
-
RAM: 569,999
-
UX: 489,578
These scores suggest that the 13T is set to offer flagship performance on par with other devices in its category.
Features
The “Magic Cube” button could be for the 13T. A new programmable button is an alternative to the previous tri state alert slider. The feature is comparable to Apple’s Action Button on iPhone Pro models that lets users assign app launches and setting toggles to a single button.
Why Should You Consider It?
The OnePlus 13T combines portability with power:
-
This is a great fit for users who don’t want flagship performance in a big device.
-
All tasks are handled smoothly with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
-
It has a good photo quality with its dual camera without overcomplicating features.
-
For long term use, it is reliable due to the large battery with fast charging.
The OnePlus 13T is one of the major smartphone releases in the smartphone market in 2025. The OnePlus 13T is a small form factor design, Snapdragon chipset, high quality cameras and Magic Cube button innovation which brings premium features to users. While there are doubts about a global release, the upcoming Chinese market launch of the OnePlus 13T this month has fans of the tech wild.
