OnePlus 13T Specs (Expected)
The OnePlus 13T is rumored to feature a flat AMOLED display and a compact form factor. Based on leaks so far, it will come with a 6.31-inch panel that supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
It is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s latestSnapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage. On the software side, it will runOxygenOS 15globally and ColorOS 15 in China, both based on Android 15.
In terms of cameras, the phone may include a dual 50MP setup on the rear, with a main sensor featuring OIS and a 2x telephoto lens for optical zoom.
Early renders suggest the design mayresemble the back of an iPhone 16. However, leaks have been conflicting. Recent ones show a vertical pill-shaped camera module, while older ones hinted at a horizontal layout.
In one of his previous Weibo posts, Li Jie Louisrevealedthat the OnePlus 13T will come with a 6,000+ mAh Glacier battery and support 80W fast charging. A recent leak from tipster DigitalChatStation claims the actual battery capacity could be around 6,200mAh.
This will be a silicon-carbon battery, the same advanced technology used in theOnePlus 13and13R. It allows for greater energy density while keeping the battery size and weight in check.
Mr Louis also mentioned that the device weighs just 185 grams, which makes it a rare combination of being compact and lightweight while still packing a massive battery.

It is expected to compete with other compact flagship devices like theiPhone 16eandPixel 9a, offering a premium experience in a smaller form factor.
