- OnePlus has launched the much-awaited compact flagship the OnePlus 13T in China.
- It features a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB UFS 4.0 storage, and a new customizable shortcut button.
- Powering the device is a whopping 6,260 mAh battery that can charge at 80W.
True small phones have been banished from the market, but the hype around the form factor is slowly returning. Phones like the Xiaomi 15 and Galaxy S25 are great examples. However, another manufacturer who wants to appeal to the small phone market is OnePlus with the OnePlus 13T. This marks the return of both the T series and compact phones to OnePlus’ shores.
The company has finally launched the OnePlus 13T in China, and it packs some serious power. Since compactness is its USP, let’s start with the display. It sports a 6.32-inch 1.5k 120 Hz LTPO AMOLED display with 2640 × 1216 pixels. It can get as bright as 1,600 nits, and the firm claims the bezels are narrower for an extra premium experience.
As for the overall dimensions, they are 150.8 × 71.7 × 8.2 mm. OnePlus claims it has a perfect 50:50 weight balance , meaning it should feel extremely well-balanced when held. The OnePlus 13T is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC and comes with up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage. The storage is UFS 4.0, if you’re wondering.
Another highlight of the device is its giant battery in slim and small form factor. Thanks to OnePlus leveraging improved Silicon Carbon batteries , the 13T features a 6,260 mAh battery , 200 mAh more than the OnePlus 13, which can charge at 80W . It misses out on wireless charging, though.
On the camera front, you get a dual camera setup, both 50 MP snappers . The primary is an LYT-700 wide angle shooter with OIS, while the secondary is a 2x Telephoto. The front camera is a 32 MP snapper.
Software-wise, it runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 with OnePlus’ promise of four years of major updates. Besides, on the connectivity front, it’s got Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, IR blaster, and a USB 2.0 Type-C port. The under display fingerprint scanner is optical. It’s also the first OnePlus phone to ditch the classic Alert Slider in favor of an iPhone-like shortcut button.
The phone is available in three colors — Morning Mist Gray, Coral Fleece Glass, and Cloud Ink Black. The base 12 GB + 256 GB variant costs ¥3399 (roughly $466 ), while the top 16 GB + 1 TB variant is ¥4499 (roughly $617 ). The phone also comes in 12 GB + 256 GB, 16 GB + 256 GB, and 16 GB + 512 GB variants. It’s available for pre-orders right now on Oppo’s official store , and orders start shipping from April 30 .

- The OnePlus Watch 3 is launching on February 18.
- OnePlus says the watch will remain exclusive to the US Europe, and Canada.
- Watch 3 could boast a bigger battery, promising up to 5 days worth of usage in one go.
For OnePlus’ first Wear OS smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 2 did many things right. Of all the things, it brought a massive battery and a hybrid design, solving one of the biggest issues with Wear OS. Well, the next iteration, i.e., the OnePlus Watch 3 is due for launch soon, and we finally know its launch date.
OnePlus has confirmed ( via X ) that the OnePlus Watch 3 is launching on February 18 at 8:00 AM EST. The brand says the watch will be exclusive to the US, Canada, and Europe .

Like the Watch 2, battery life will be the main selling point of the OnePlus Watch 3. With a 631 mAh battery, OnePlus is claiming 5 days of battery life in smart mode. So, this could make the Watch 3 the longest-lasting Wear OS smartwatch ever made.

Besides, there are a few design changes and additions. Watch 3 could feature a Titanium Bezel, Sapphire Crystal glass, and a new rotating crown . The watch will arrive in two colors — Emerald Titanium and Obsidian Titanium. It will feature the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and BES2800. Besides, the smartwatch could arrive with Wear OS 5 out of the box.
We can expect the Watch 3 to get new health features like ECG, Wrist Temperature, and a 60-second health checkup feature which were spotted last month in the OnePlus OHealth app. This could be a good improvement over the OnePlus Watch 2 had a great battery but was definitely lacking a bit in health tracking.
The health features on Watch 3 should put it on par with the Pixel Watch 3 ( review ) and Galaxy Watch 7. Besides that, we hope OnePlus ups the number of years of updates for the Watch 3. The Watch 2 only got two years of updates and is yet to receive Wear OS 5.
