The upcoming OnePlus 13T is set to bring fresh aesthetic changes and powerful specs, as the company prepares to unveil the device later this April in China. The handset will debut with a new pink colour option, and OnePlus China President Louis Lee has officially teased its appearance and unique design features via Weibo.
Compared against the pink version of the iPhone 16, the OnePlus 13T pink variant appears to feature a softer, lighter tone. Lee confirmed that the design is based on a “low saturation” colour concept, which not only delivers a refined look but also improves durability. This model introduces the coral velvet glass craft, a new glass technology from OnePlus designed for a premium feel and improved resistance.
The OnePlus 13T is confirmed to launch in three colour variants, although only the pink version has been showcased so far. The remaining two options are expected to be revealed soon. Meanwhile, a unique customisable shortcut key will be introduced on the left edge of the phone, replacing the traditional alert slider seen in earlier models.
In terms of visuals, the OnePlus 13T will come with a flat 6.3-inch 1.5K OLED display, likely offering a 120Hz refresh rate. Teasers show that the bezels are exceptionally slim, on par with those of the iPhone 16 Pro, which should provide a more immersive viewing experience despite the compact screen size.
On the performance front, the smartphone is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB internal storage. It will likely run ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, offering a smooth and responsive software experience out of the box.
Camera specifications may include dual 50-megapixel sensors on the rear, one of which will reportedly serve as a telephoto lens. The OnePlus 13T is also tipped to carry a 6,200mAh battery with 80W fast charging support, ensuring long usage with quick recharge times.
With a compact build, updated design aesthetics, and powerful internals, the OnePlus 13T is shaping up to be a sleek and feature-rich flagship that could appeal to a wide range of Android users.
