OnePlus 13T Expected Specifications, Launch Timeline & Price

Another well-known tipster, Smart Pikachu, shared insights on Weibo, claiming that the OnePlus 13T/13 Mini will be the most affordable smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite SoC.

• While they referred to it as OnePlus’ 6.3-inch model, the exact name remains unconfirmed.
• Previous leaks suggest that the device will feature a 6.31-inch 1.5K resolution LTPO OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.

• In terms of optics, earlier reports indicate that the dual-camera setup will consist of:
  • 50MP primary sensor

• Despite its compact size, the OnePlus 13T is expected to house a massive 6,000mAh battery, matching the battery capacity of the larger OnePlus 13.
• The OnePlus 13T/13 Mini is anticipated to launch around May 2025 or in Q2 2025.

Expected Pricing

If the OnePlus 13T/13 Mini is positioned as the cheapest Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC-powered smartphone, it would need to be priced lower than the recently launched Realme GT 7 Pro Racing Edition, which starts at CNY 3,099 (approx. Rs 37,000).

The last OnePlus T-series model to launch in India was the OnePlus 10T in August 2022, priced at Rs 49,999.
