Compact, powerful, affordable—The OnePlus 13T is coming soon to India!

After a two-year hiatus, the OnePlus T-series is making a comeback. The OnePlus 13T has officially launched in China, and according to reports, it’s expected to arrive in India soon, possibly as the OnePlus 13S, by June 2025. The device is expected to be priced between ₹45,000 and ₹50,000 in India, offering flagship power at a competitive price point.

Pricing and availability

The OnePlus 13T in China is priced at CNY 3,199 (roughly ₹37,000) for the base model with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. With OnePlus’ previous pricing trends, the Indian version is likely to fall in the ₹45,000-₹50,000 range, making it an attractive option for users seeking flagship features at a more affordable price.

Design and display

The OnePlus 13T features a 6.32-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals and vibrant colors. The compact size of the phone ensures it’s easier to hold, especially for users who prefer smaller, manageable devices without compromising on screen quality.

Performance and battery life

Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the OnePlus 13T is designed for high performance. It also comes with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB of internal storage for those needing extra power and space. One of the standout features is its 6,260mAh battery, which supports 90W fast charging, offering quick top-ups and all-day battery life. This combination makes the 13T a great option for heavy users who need performance and endurance in one package.

Cameras

For photography, the OnePlus 13T sports a 50MP dual-camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and 50MP 2x telephoto lens. While it lacks an ultra-wide lens, the telephoto lens provides great zoom performance, making it ideal for users who prefer crisp, zoomed-in shots. A 16MP front camera caters to selfies and video calls, ensuring decent image quality.

Software and connectivity

Running OxygenOS based on Android 15, the phone offers a smooth user experience, with a customizable shortcut button replacing the traditional alert slider. It also features IP68 water and dust resistance, making it more durable than many phones in the mid-range segment. Additional connectivity options include G1 Wi-Fi chip and 360-degree antenna setup, ensuring stable connections for gaming and browsing.

The OnePlus 13T (or 13S in India) is set to offer a great balance of performance, design, and affordability. If OnePlus keeps the pricing competitive, this device could emerge as a solid choice in the sub-₹50,000 category, giving users flagship-level features without the hefty price tag.
