OnePlus was one of the first to release its flagship smartphone offering at the beginning of the year, beating everyone – including Samsung – to the punch with its OnePlus 13 series. The OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R were made available globally on 7 January but there’s another device set to join the line up in the OnePlus 13T.
OnePlus has already confirmed the device is coming, and there have been a number of leaks surrounding it too, including that it will run on Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. The latest leak – or leaks we should say – present what the OnePlus 13T could look like though, and well, it’s somewhat familiar.
What will the OnePlus 13T look like?
The device has appeared a couple of times on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo from a number of accounts, and all show the same design, adding weight to their authenticity. In one video, the OnePlus 13T is seemingly able to be balanced on one finger and spun around.
It features flat edges, round corners and a square-shaped camera module in the top left corner, not too dissimilar from what the current iPhones offer. There is also a physical button on the left edge, expected to be the Quick Key that is replacing the signature alert slider, while the square camera housing appears to feature a triple rear camera.
In another post, leaker Digital Chat Station presented an image of what they claim to be the OnePlus 13T. The design is consistent with the leaked video, as well as another Weibo post showing a close up of the camera housing, but it’s a much clearer image. The post also claims there will be three colour options, translated as Cloud Ink Black, Morning Mist Gray and Heartbeat Pink.
For now, OnePlus has only confirmed the OnePlus 13T is coming “later this month” and it has teased the device’s super slim bezels by comparing it to the iPhone 16 Pro. If the leaked designs are accurate however, this device could be even more like iPhone than we first thought.

OnePlus 13 Mini tipped to have bigger battery than OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 Mini (or 13T, depending on the naming scheme) could end up with a larger battery than its flagship cousin, according to leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the tipster, the OnePlus 13 Mini will have a 6,200mAh battery versus the OnePlus 13’s 6,000mAh battery.
Considering the smaller size of the OnePlus 13 Mini, a larger battery capacity is impressive enough. Throw in the fact that it will have a 6.3-inch display instead of the 6.8-inch display of the OnePlus 13, and its power demands should drop by a large margin.

Oppo smartwatch may lead to the small OnePlus Watch 3 we’re craving
One of the few downsides of the excellent OnePlus Watch 3 is that it only comes in a single case size, but if an Oppo smartwatch release in China is anything to go by, the company may now be in a position to change that. The Oppo Watch X2 Mini has been given an official April 10 launch date and is available for pre-order in China, and it may be the template for a OnePlus Watch 3 Mini.
Before we talk about the smartwatch, here’s some context. Oppo and OnePlus entered into a strategic partnership in 2021, with the two brands effectively sharing research, development, software, and even camera partners. While the two release separate and suitably different products, there are many similarities. The OnePlus Watch 3 just happens to have an Oppo sibling called the Oppo Watch X2, and the pair are practically identical.
