OnePlus is preparing to launch a new compact flagship smartphone, probably the OnePlus 13T (or OnePlus 13 Mini), which promises high performance and long battery life.

Here's What We Know

A well-known Digital Chat Station insider shared information about the new product on Weibo. Although the exact name has not been confirmed, the emojis in the post suggest that it is the OnePlus 13T model.

The OnePlus 13T is rumoured to feature a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution. The screen will have minimal bezels on all sides, and a built-in fingerprint sensor will provide convenient use. The rear panel features a stylish camera module with an international design, and the device itself will be one of the most beautiful compact smartphones ever made.

One of the biggest advantages of the OnePlus 13T is its 6000 mAh battery, which is quite large for a smartphone of this size. It will also support wireless charging. As for the cameras, it is expected that the rear panel will feature a dual camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom.

It is known that the OnePlus 13T will have a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same one used in the standard OnePlus 13. If these specifications are confirmed, the OnePlus 13T could become the most affordable smartphone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a price of about 3,000 yuan (~$415).

Currently, the cheapest phone with such a chip is the Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition, which starts at 3099 yuan (~$430).
