OnePlus 13T - Snapdragon 8 Elite, 6260mAh battery for $X66

OnePlus 13T Review

OnePlus has launched a new mid-range smartphone in the OnePlus 13 series, called the OnePlus 13T. It was recently released in China on April 24, 2025, but has not yet launched globally. Leaks suggest that the global version might be released under a different name — possibly the OnePlus 13S.

The OnePlus 13 T is a mid-range phone with a gorgeous design, and it seriously challenges Apple’s new iPhone 16E — especially considering the amazing features OnePlus packs in for the price. The first standout feature OnePlus offers is a Snapdragon flagship chipset at a midrange price—specifically, the Snapdragon 8 Elite—which makes the smartphone incredibly powerful. The second major highlight is its massive 6260mAh battery. Apart from these, the phone also boasts a high-quality display, impressive camera, sleek design, and many other features that we'll discuss further.
