Camera and Battery Expectations for OnePlus 13T
In contrast to the more advanced OnePlus 13, the OnePlus 13T is rumored to feature a simpler camera arrangement, with two rear cameras. It is set to include a 50-megapixel primary lens with optical image stabilization (OIS), alongside a 50-megapixel telephoto lens offering 2x optical zoom. The details concerning the front-facing camera remain undisclosed.
OnePlus has confirmed that the upcoming model will be fitted with a larger battery than the OnePlus 13’s 6,000mAh unit. Early reports suggest that the OnePlus 13T will house a 6,200mAh battery, supporting 80W fast charging.
Display and Processor Details for OnePlus 13T
Based on prior leaks, the OnePlus 13T is expected to feature a 6.3-inch 1.5K OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This screen size is notably smaller than the flagship OnePlus 13, which boasts a 6.82-inch display. The design will likely include a hole-punch cutout for the front camera.
The new smartphone is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It might come with configurations offering up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. In terms of software, the OnePlus 13T is likely to run ColorOS 15, based on Android 15, specifically for the Chinese market.
