The OnePlus 13T, possibly the compact version of the OnePlus 13 Mini, is generating a buzz with its rumored massive battery capacity. According to a leak by Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the device might boast a whopping 6200mAh+ battery. This revelation is nothing short of impressive for a smaller flagship phone, potentially matching competitors like the Google Pixel 9 Pro and Xiaomi 15 in size.
The speculated battery size of the OnePlus 13T surpasses even its larger counterpart, the OnePlus 13, which already featured a substantial 6000mAh battery. This achievement hints at the brand’s intensive use of silicon-carbon (Si-C) battery technology to fit a high-capacity battery into a more compact form factor. The innovation in battery capacity could set a new standard for endurance in smaller smartphones.
Aside from its exceptional battery, the OnePlus 13T is rumored to support 80W wired charging and run on Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. Reports on the camera setup vary, with some suggesting a dual-camera system comprising a 50Mp main sensor and a 50Mp 2x telephoto lens, while others anticipate a triple-camera arrangement with an additional 8Mp ultra-wide lens. Moreover, the device is expected to feature a premium metal and glass design akin to its predecessor.
However, one notable change in the OnePlus 13T is the absence of the iconic Alert Slider, as confirmed by OnePlus co-founder and CEO Pete Lau. Instead, the device will adopt a contextual button in its place. With speculations pointing towards an April launch in China, tech enthusiasts eagerly await the official unveiling of the OnePlus 13T to see how this mini powerhouse will redefine smartphone standards.
