The OnePlus 13T is a compact high-end smartphone with mostly bleeding-edge specifications.

Back and front design of the phone

The handset boasts a premium-looking metal cube design intended to not block the user's hand when used horizontally and vertically. It also has a golden R angle and ultra-narrow middle frame to make the phone comfortable to hold. OnePlus claims that it has a 50:50 balance of its 185 grams weight to minimize hand tiredness when used for a long time.

It measures 150.81 x 71.70 x 8.15 mm, making it easy to hold even with one hand for most users.

It is available in Morning Mist Gray, Heart-pounding Pink, and Cloudy Ink Black colors.

OnePlus also replaced the alert slider with a new Shortcut Key that can be used as a switch to silence or vibrate the phone and allow ringing. As the name suggests, the key could have custom functions as well.

Unlike the bigger OnePlus 13 flagship with up to an IP69 rating, the OnePlus 13T only has an IP65 rating to protect it against dust and water splashes.

The phone has a self-developed Display P2 chip too

In front, the device uses an OPPO Crystal Shield glass-protected 6.32-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED screen with 1-120Hz refresh rate, 1.5K 2640 x 1216 resolution, up to 1,600 nits peak brightness, and an optical In-Display fingerprint sensor.

Under the hood, it is powered by the flagship 3nm 4.32GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite octa-core processor with top-end Adreno graphics, 12GB or 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB UFS 4.0 internal storage.

The surprise? Despite its small size, OnePlus managed to equip the phone with a BIG 6,260mAh silicon carbon battery capacity with USB-C 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging. This battery is even bigger than the 6,000mAh of the OnePlus 13.

For cooling, the company added a  4,400mm² VC cooling area with a 37,000mm² total heat dissipation area. It also has a 3D structure and a special nano ice crystal coolant for stronger overall heat dissipation.

Not to be left behind, the OnePlus 13T also has capable cameras. It arrived with a 50MP f/1.8 Sony IMX906 main camera with OIS and another 50MP f/2.0 2x telephoto camera with OIS. These cameras can record up to 4K at 60fps.

What's missing is an ultra-wide camera.

In front, it has a 16MP f/2.4 sensor with up to 1080p recording for selfies.
