OnePlus has officially launched the 'OnePlus 13T' amid much hype and fanfare. As expected, the phone is launching first in China. Its main USP is its compact size and powerful hardware specs. The 13T comes rocking Qualcomm's fastest chip at the time of writing and pairs it with a massive 6260mAh battery, which is bigger than even the OnePlus 13's. The cameras are compelling, too, with two 50-megapixel sensors, including a dedicated telephoto setup.advertisementOnePlus 13T prices (China)The OnePlus 13T comes in a choice of 12GB/256G, 16GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB, and 16GB/1TB.

The front camera is a 16-megapixel.The OnePlus 13T may seem like a smaller OnePlus 13, and it is in many ways, but it features a brand-new design, giving it a distinct identity amongst all the 13-series OnePlus devices. It has a completely flat-out design with a metal cube camera deco and comes in Morning Mist Grey, Heart-pounding Pink and Cloudy Ink Black options. The alert slider is gone. It is replaced by a new 'shortcut key' that still can-do sound profile switches but packs more functionality, allowing for more customisation sort of like Apple's Action Button seen in recent iPhones. The phone is IP65 rated for dust and water resistance. Biometrics are handled by an in-display fingerprint reader.OnePlus 13T India launch expectationsThere is no word on if and when OnePlus will launch the 13T globally, India included, but a recent survey conducted by the company on the demand for compact flagship phones in the country, suggests an imminent launch, either as is or in some other form. In China, the phone will go on sale starting April 30.
