The OnePlus 13T is shaping up to be a compact powerhouse with flagship ambitions. Official images and a slick teaser video reveal a sleek redesign with squared-off edges that channel iPhone and Pixel energy—marking a bold design shift for the brand. But it’s not just about looks. Under the hood, this pocket-friendly stunner packs serious firepower. Expect a 6.32-inch display, a sizable 6,000mAh battery, and the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset—plus a dedicated “Esports Wi-Fi Chip G1” built for low-lag gaming sessions. 

The iconic alert slider? Gone. In its place is a multi-function shortcut button that toggles between ring modes and offers customizable shortcuts for daily tasks. The OnePlus camera setup features a dual rear array, and the phone supports bypass charging—so your device stays cool even when you’re topping up mid-match.

Available in Powder (a soft pink), Morning Mist Gray, and Cloud Ink Black, the OnePlus 13T embraces a more premium aesthetic without losing its performance edge. While OPPO has confirmed a China launch on April 24, the US release remains uncertain. 

With potential tariff complications and pricing pressures, OnePlus might skip the American market unless the demand makes it worthwhile. For now, the OnePlus 13T is a tantalizing tech tease—one that has us hoping it crosses the Pacific.
