OnePlus 13T shown on video: new design and Snapdragon 8 Elite

OnePlus is preparing for the presentation of the compact flagship OnePlus 13T, which will take place at the end of April 2025 in China. On the eve of the official announcement, a new video demonstrating the updated back panel of the smartphone has appeared online.
Here's What We Know
According to the leak, the OnePlus 13T will have an updated camera unit design - instead of the usual round module, a new shape is used, similar to a combination of a square and a circle. The unit houses three cameras: a 50-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel second module with 2x optical zoom. The third camera is likely to be ultra-wide, but there are no details about it yet.

The video also focuses on the perfect weight balance of OnePlus 13T - 50:50, which should improve the ergonomics of the device. Although the company has not yet officially revealed the design of the smartphone, OnePlus President Louis Lee has already shared some details on Weibo.
One of the interesting features is the "game camera". According to Lee, it allows you to take screenshots directly during the game and is supported in all mobile games. Presumably, there is a special shortcut key for this.
The OnePlus 13T is also expected to feature a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which will make it one of the most compact flagships in 2025.
Recently, the president of OnePlus compared the screens of the upcoming OnePlus 13T and iPhone 16 Pro in an image.
