Beijing, April 18, 2025 – OnePlus is gearing up to launch its compact flagship, the OnePlus 13T, in China on April 24, teasing a sleek design, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and dual 50-megapixel cameras via Weibo and its online store (web:2,18). Priced around Rs 50,000, the phone—possibly rebranded as OnePlus 13S in India—targets rivals like the iPhone 16 Pro and Galaxy S25 (web:5, post:2). Pre-reservations are live, with global rollout unclear (web:11,12).
The 13T sports a 6.32-inch flat 120Hz OLED display, over 6,000mAh battery, and 120W wired charging, paired with a “Glacier” cooling system and Gaming Wi-Fi G1 chip for lag-free play (web:0,13). Its camera setup—50MP Sony LYT-700 main with OIS and 50MP JN5 telephoto (2x zoom, 4x lossless)—leverages Oppo’s flagship imaging algorithm, with sample shots showing crisp details (web:1,2, post:0,1). The “metal cube Deco” camera module, in Cloud Ink Black, Morning Mist Gray, or Heartbeat Pink, ditches the iconic circular bump (web:8,24). At 185g, it balances perfectly, as shown in a Weibo video of it spinning on a finger (web:22).
X buzzes—“13T’s a beast!”—but some miss the Alert Slider, replaced by an iPhone-style button (web:13, post:2). India’s 60 crore smartphone users, 40% on 5G, eye the 12GB LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage (TRAI). “It’s compact power,” a Delhi techie told India Today (web:5). Yet, 2024’s 15% price hikes in India spark affordability fears (web:19). For India’s tech hub, will the 13T disrupt, or just dazzle briefly?
