There’s numerous pleasure across the OnePlus 13T, however I’ve some dangerous information.
Final week, I wrote about how I hoped this Pixel 9a rival would get a UK and US launch, however I used to be involved that the mid-range Android telephone wouldn’t be allowed to unfold its wings.
Now I’ve a not-so-positive replace on this matter. I reached out to OnePlus to get some clarification on the state of affairs, particularly as as to whether the 13T would launch outdoors of China, the place it was unveiled.
OnePlus stated: “Presently, now we have no plans to launch the OnePlus 13s in Europe. That being stated, now we have famous the curiosity within the product from our European customers, and we are going to maintain it in thoughts as we make product launch choices going ahead.”
To clarify, the assertion mentions a distinct handset, the 13s and never the 13T. Effectively, this seems to be the very same telephone, however for the Indian market, so I assume we’re speaking about the identical system successfully.
I’ve requested OnePlus for additional data, together with US plans, however haven’t heard again but.
The second half does depart the metaphorical carrot dangling, notably as utilizing ‘Europe’ in this sort of context typically consists of the UK. And maybe journalists reaching out with curiosity will even immediate inside discussions.

As I wrote final week, the 13T (which was rumoured to be known as the 13 mini) could possibly be the perfect mid-range telephone of 2025, beginning with its engaging design. It’s just like the Pixel 9a and iPhone 16e (each fairly ugly in my view) got here collectively and made one thing stunning.
It’s additionally received some spectacular specs, with a whopping 6260mAh battery, because of silicon-carbon know-how.
OnePlus has additionally fitted it with the flagship-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, two 50Mp rear cameras and speedy 80W quick charging.
If the worth is true – it’s CNY3,399 in China, which converts to round £349 or $465 – then it could possibly be a knockout success.
I’ll replace you if and when OnePlus offers any additional data.
