OnePlus 13T is the New King of Affordable Compact Flagships – Samsung, Apple, Google Beware!

After a three-year break, OnePlus has brought back its T-series with the launch of the OnePlus 13T in China. Unlike previous T-series models which were slight upgrades. This version introduces a different design approach, prioritizing compact dimensions and practical features. A global launch is expected soon.

Design and Display

The OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution and 1Hz–120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The design measures just over 150mm in height and under 72mm in width, making it easy to handle with one hand. The display includes an optical fingerprint scanner, a 16MP front-facing camera, and features Oppo’s Crystal Shield Glass for protection.

OnePlus has replaced the physical Alert Slider on earlier models with a Shortcut Key, which allows users to switch between sound profiles and also supports user-defined shortcuts and app launches. It will be available in Gray, Pink, and Black.
