OnePlus 13T Launches with Massive Battery and Customizable Button – How Does It Compare to Apple and Samsung Flagships?

Shanghai, China – Chinese smartphone manufacturer OnePlus has unveiled its latest flagship device, the OnePlus 13T, boasting an impressive list of features that set it apart from its competitors. Despite being slightly larger than popular models like the iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S25, the 13T manages to pack in a larger battery capacity, making it a notable choice for tech-savvy consumers.

The OnePlus 13T comes equipped with a 6.32-inch OLED screen, which the company refers to as “small” in comparison to other flagship devices. However, this screen size is actually larger than those found on both the Apple and Samsung models. Additionally, the 13T is bigger and heavier overall, but still maintains a compact profile by OnePlus standards. One of the standout features of the 13T is its impressive 6,260mAh battery, which surpasses the capacities of both the iPhone 16 and Galaxy S25, as well as OnePlus’ own 13 and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra.

OnePlus enthusiasts will notice a significant change with the 13T – the removal of the trademark alert slider, replaced by a customizable shortcut button that offers a range of functions. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offers up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, and features two 50-megapixel sensors in its rear camera setup. With 80W wired charging capability, users can quickly top up the device’s substantial battery, although wireless charging support is notably absent.

The starting price for the OnePlus 13T in China is CNY3,399 (approximately $466), making it a more affordable option compared to the standard OnePlus 13. However, the company has not confirmed whether the device will be released in other markets around the world. Overall, the 13T presents a compelling option for consumers seeking cutting-edge technology and innovative features in a sleek and compact package.
