TL;DR
- The OnePlus 13T has been confirmed.
- OnePlus introduced the cellphone in a pre-recorded fake “launch” video that’s actually weird.
- The cellphone ought to land this month, however it’s nonetheless unclear if it is going to be obtainable outdoors of China.
At the moment is April Idiot’s Day, so we have to deal with something we see as suspect. Even when an organization pronounces what seems to be like the following finest Android smartphone, we have to maintain up our palms and say, “Wait a minute,” earlier than believing it to be true.
That mentioned, we’re practically sure that OnePlus’ April Idiot’s Day occasion really does embrace a official announcement. On Weibo, the corporate posted an over-the-top, extremely foolish video depicting a pretend smartphone “launch.” It entails Thor’s hammer, a visit by means of area and time, the destruction of a complete planet, and a person being shrunk down and virtually getting crushed below a shoe. It’s…lots.
Nevertheless, in the long run, you’re handled with the corporate’s first affirmation of the existence of the OnePlus 13T. Beforehand, we had seen loads of rumors about this cellphone, which we hear could possibly be smaller than the OnePlus 13 however provide the identical Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. OnePlus didn’t say something about that within the video, although. All it confirmed was the cellphone’s title and that it could land this month.
Sadly, we nonetheless don’t know if the OnePlus 13T will land in any nation aside from China. Provided that this teaser is meant explicitly for the Chinese language market and OnePlus doesn’t have an analogous one for Western nations, this cellphone could solely land in China. We’re nonetheless holding out hope.
Even when it solely lands in China, the OnePlus 13T will nonetheless be notable because it resurrects the “T” branding. OnePlus beforehand deserted the “T” line, with the final cellphone being the OnePlus 10T in 2022. It’s unclear why it introduced the road again for what’s going to ostensibly be a “OnePlus 13 Mini” or a “OnePlus 13 Slim,” however that’s a query for one more day.
