The design gives it a more premium feel to hold & use for a long time. The model comes in two colours, Blank and Pink.
Display – Robust & clear
The display of the OnePlus 13T is quite interesting & leaves nothing to complain about. The phone comes with a large 6.32” LTPO AMOLED display with full-HD+ resolution. This means that you can get to see clear pictures & videos.
Likewise, it also has a 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate and Oppo’s Crystal Shield Glass for protection. You will be glad to know that the screen will not get damaged due to small falls. The display ensures that there is no compromise on the performance of the phone.
Camera & audio – Outstanding image quality
The OnePlus 13T camera is outstanding. The front camera is a 50 MP main sensor (IMX906) that is coupled with a 50 MP 2x telephoto shooter. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to take sublime photos.
Though you may not find the ultra-wide camera, the focus is good enough for taking top-notch zoom and regular shots. The 16-megapixel front camera is perfect for taking selfies and having video calls.
Moreover, it also has an IP65 dust and water resistance. The model comes fitted with stereo speakers, which can give out smooth audio quality.

However, it can go up to 82% in 30 minutes. This is acceptable, and it has a large 4,400mm² VC cooling chamber. This ensures that the smartphone does not become overheated. The 6260mAh battery is more than enough. The silicon-carbon batteries are good, enabling you to use the smartphone throughout the day without charging.
Connectivity – Excellent processor
The connectivity of the 13T is fantastic. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Moreover, it has a huge 1TB of internal storage & and 16GB of RAM. You can also find a G1 Wi-Fi chip and a 360-degree antenna.

The OnePlus 13T is priced at CNY 3,399 or Rs. 39,800. It means that the smartphone will be priced slightly higher than its Chinese counterparts. So it may be priced between Rs. 42,000 to Rs. 49,000. We doubt it may go lower as the OnePlus 13R is selling at Rs 42,999.
