SHENZHEN, April 1, 2025 — Amid the swirl of April Fools’ pranks, OnePlus has dropped a real surprise: the OnePlus 13T is officially launching this month, according to a teaser video shared on Weibo. This marks the first confirmed branding and launch timeline for the company’s highly anticipated compact flagship.
OnePlus 13T: Compact Powerhouse in the Making
Previously dubbed the OnePlus 13 “Mini”, the 13T is expected to feature a 6.3-inch display, but it’s what’s inside that’s turning heads. Rumors suggest the phone will pack an exceptionally large battery—a standout feature for a phone of its size—offering both portability and long-lasting performance.
While the teaser video was wrapped in humor, featuring a spoof product styled after Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, it ended with a clear message: “Small, beautiful, and powerful OnePlus 13T, see you this month.”
First Official Confirmation
This is the first time OnePlus has publicly acknowledged the 13T by name, and the teaser confirms that the launch will take place in April 2025. While no images of the device were shown, it’s likely that the 13T will follow the design cues of the OnePlus 13 series, with potential influences from Oppo’s Find X8s, which shares a similarly sleek, compact aesthetic.
Global Availability Still Uncertain
OnePlus has yet to announce whether the 13T will be released outside of China. Given the growing demand for premium small-screen smartphones, fans worldwide are hopeful the device will enter global markets shortly after its domestic debut.
