OnePlus is preparing a compact flagship 13T with a 6200 mAh battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite
By ForGeeks OnePlus has officially confirmed the imminent debut of a new smartphone – a model called OnePlus 13T will be unveiled in China as early as April. The brand is promoting the new device as “power in a compact package”, focusing on the combination of high performance and a convenient form factor. While the full specs of the device have yet to be revealed, credible leaks have already shed light on the smartphone’s key features.
Confirmed: the smartphone will be called the OnePlus 13T
Despite the April first announcement date, the company has clearly revealed the name of the upcoming device. OnePlus 13T will be a continuation of the compact flagship concept and, judging by the slogan, will offer maximum features in a minimal size.
The device will reportedly get a 6.3-inch flat panel display with a 1.5K resolution – a great compromise between image quality and usability. The body will remain relatively compact, which will differentiate the 13T from most shovel-ready devices on the market.
Flagship power and impressive battery life
OnePlus 13T is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a top-of-the-line solution that delivers top-notch performance for both everyday tasks and gaming. The proprietary WindChaser engine supports gamer scenarios by dynamically adjusting CPU frequency and voltage to maximize efficiency during gaming sessions.
But the best part is the battery: despite its compact body, the smartphone packs an impressive 6,200mAh battery. Paired with 80W fast charging, the OnePlus 13T promises to be one of the most self-contained flagships on the market.
Possible design: metal, glass and dual cameras
Although the official look of the device hasn’t been revealed yet, renders and a design description have already leaked online. Judging by them, the OnePlus 13T will get a glass back, a metal frame, and a dual camera positioned either vertically or horizontally, depending on the final build. In the early images, the device resembles the design of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite.
The most affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship?”
According to preliminary information, OnePlus intends to keep the price below the 4,000 yuan mark – that’s about $550. Thus, the 13T could be the most affordable smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip among compact flagships.
His direct competitor will be the upcoming Oppo Find X8s with a similar 6.3-inch 1.5K OLED display, Dimensity 9400 Plus processor, 5,700 mAh battery and a triple 50MP camera.
Should we believe the April 1 announcement?”
Although the smartphone announcement appeared on April 1, the source of the information is official OnePlus channels, and it is clearly not in the nature of a joke. Nevertheless, the final name of the device and its exact parameters may be clarified closer to the sales launch. OnePlus is expected to provide more details in the coming weeks.
