OnePlus 13T Design (Expected)
We know a bit about the OnePlus 13T’s design thanks to the brand’s official teasers. First and foremost, the handset will be available in three colors: Powder Pink, Morning Mist Gray, and Cloud Ink Black.
As mentioned in several reports, the OnePlus 13T is expected to feature narrow bezels on the front, with a punch-hole screen at the top. On the back, the phone features a square-shaped camera island that protrudes from the otherwise flat panel.
The panel features two camera sensors in a black housing, placed vertically, alongside the flash module. Instead of the Alert Slider, the OnePlus 13T could arrive with a new programmable Shortcut Key (much like the Action Button on the latest iPhones).
Last but not least, the phone is said to arrive with an IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance rating, making it as durable as other Android flagships available in the market.
OnePlus 13T Specifications (Expected)
The OnePlus 13T is expected to offer a 6.32-inch OLED screen with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and flat corners. Rumors also suggest that the handset will feature narrow bezels like the company’s Android flagships.
Under the hood, the smartphone may run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, as indicated by a recent AnTuTu benchmark listing. Alongside the flagship chipset, the handset also features 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage (a 256GB variant should also be available).
The compact flagship could also feature a Glacier cooling system, which enhances its gaming performance. Further, the device is rumored to have a G1 gaming Wi-Fi chip for faster performance and reduced latency. Out of the box, the device should run on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15.
Regarding cameras, the OnePlus 13T could feature a 50MP primary camera and another 50MP telephoto sensor that provides 2x optical zoom. The product’s images also suggest the presence of a dual-camera setup on the back of the device.

Despite its compact form factor, the OnePlus 13T is confirmed to feature a 6,260 mAh cell. Whether or not it features silicon-carbon battery technology remains a question. Nonetheless, OnePlus says that the handset has a Glacier Battery.
Although the company didn’t confirm the battery’s maximum charging speed, we expect the OnePlus 13T to support 80W wired charging. There’s a chance that the brand could vary the battery capacity and charging speed based on the region.
