OnePlus 13T Launching Tomorrow: The OnePlus 13T, after leaks for months, is all set to be unveiled in China tomorrow, returning the T-series lineup after over two years on the market. But the company seems to be seeking an opportunity to change branding in different markets this time. Rumor has it that OnePlus might launch this device as part of a new ‘S’ series in international markets, perhaps to revive its mid-year flagship appeal without putting the T-series completely to rest.

While the reasons for a new naming strategy remain unclear, it could be a tactic to distinguish the Chinese variant from the global variant, thus allowing the brand greater scope for experimentation in design and features for different audiences. In India, the phone may launch as the OnePlus 13S. Here is a summary of leaked specs, design, pricing information, and other details regarding the OnePlus 13T.

OnePlus 13T India launch timeline

The OnePlus 13T will be announced in China on April 24, 2025. As per reports, this device will be launched in the Indian market as the OnePlus 13S, with tentative release planned at the end of June 2025. This will work according to OnePlus’s strategy as the company aims to nurture an existing customer base in the Indian subcontinent.

OnePlus 13T New design

The OnePlus 13T has opened up a totally new prompt in OnePlus. The phone will turn more flat with a touch of edge, moving away from their curved-edge designs. It consists of a useful 6.32-inch screen, rounded corners, flat sides, but indeed very easy to manage with one hand. Available in three colors – Morning Mist Gray, Cloud Ink Black, and pretty much different Pink edition – with a soft matte finish.

The new “metal cube Deco” camera layout on the backside has also been introduced by OnePlus. This metallic camera module gives a minimal look to the devices, looking entirely integrated with the back panel. Obviously, the Alert Slider has been replaced by a completely new customisable physical button which will toggle sound profiles while performing a few other tasks depending on the user preference.

OnePlus 13T Specification (Confirmed)

The OnePlus 13T is expected to become quite an outstanding compact smartphone, if the leaks are believed. Supposedly, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite Edition would power the phone, the same elite processor present in the flagship OnePlus 13. Along with that, the 13T is said to feature a 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate ensuring excellent display quality and super-fast operation-perfect for daily use and heavy multitasking.

As for optics, OnePlus appears to be adopting a more austere but functional approach. Apparently, the 13T has been equipped with a dual rear camera-the 50MP primary sensor, and a 50MP 2x telephoto lens. This means the brand chooses to keep away all the unnecessary sensors and focus more on delivering effective, functional photography capabilities.

Battery life should be another potential winner. The phone will probably ship with a 6,260mAh battery with 90W fast charging. This makes the new phone one of the longest-lasting in its compact class. And as far as durability is concerned? This OnePlus 13T should have an impressive IP68 and IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, a rarity of having both combined in this segment.

OnePlus 13T Price and Availability (Expected)

It is not confirmed by OnePlus regarding pricing and launch of OnePlus 13T. However, early leaks suggest that this phone would be marketed as a premium mid-range flagship – top-tier specs but comparatively cheaper. Estimated starting prices in India could fall within the ₹49,999 range, making it a lucrative option for users uninterested in ultra-premium pricing but wanting flagship performance.

OnePlus 13t availability is likely to be constrained in the global market by late Q3 or early Q4 of 2025, probably around September or October, which coincides with the usual release schedule of OnePlus. Once announced, it would become available on the OnePlus official website, Amazon, and top retail outlets both online and offline.

Please note, these details are based on leaks and reports. OnePlus has not confirmed anything officially yet.
