Weekly poll: would you buy the OnePlus 13T (aka 13s)? | Infinium-tech

OnePlus 13t went on sale in China this week and OnePlus 13 will soon be launched in India. This brings us back to eternal question – do people really want small phones?

Answer, if you ask OnePlus, seems to be “no”. Representatives of the company have said that 13T/13s will not be sold in Europe, America and Canada.

This is disappointing because 13T is the company’s first small phone – because OnePlus X, anyway. He got a buried and forgot very quickly, though. Will 13t follow the same fate? The company does not have much confidence in this, given the recent news that the global release will not be there.

We are not arguing why OnePlus has decided to limit 13T to only a few markets. But let’s take a look at how it compares the other 6.3 ”(either) smartphone and then we will reach the pole. Note that since we do not yet have pricing for India, we will use sugar prices.

If you receive the base 12/256GB model, OnePlus 13T CNY sells for 3,400. The Samsung Galaxy S25 is CNY 5,500 for the same memory configuration. It is powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite and it is slightly smaller (1.2 mm narrow, 1 mm thin and 23 g) – but the battery is very small at 4,000mAh vs 6,260mAh.

OnePlus has a rapid wired charging (80W vs. 25W), but lacks wireless. In addition, while the 50MP 1/1.56 “main camera is a match, the telephoto has a high resolution sensor, but a small lens -50 mp 2x vs. is 10MP 3x. There is no ultra-wide camera at 13T.

Samsung Galaxy S25 • Apple iPhone 16 Pro • Google Pixel 9 Pro

Apple iPhone 16 Pro is CNY 9,000 for 256GB phones. It is almost the same size, but has heavy (199g vs. 185g) and has a 48MP main (larger 1/1.28 “sensor), 12MP 5x periscope and 48MP ultra-wide. The battery is small, but iphones are skilled, so it is a good.

Even if you choose the iPhone 16 (with two cameras but also with ultra-wide instead of telephoto, then you are still seeing a high bill-CNY 7,000 for 256 GB model.

Pixel 9 Pro is not available in China, but it is in India. It is heavier than OnePlus (199G vs. 185G) and has better camera hardware -50 MP main (1/1.31 “), 48MP 5x periscope and 48MP ultra-wide, as well as 42MP ultra-wide selfie camera. IPhone, but it is still much smaller than OnePlus.

What do you think? Is OnePlus 13t the perfect phone for you – a small flagship on a budget – or OnePlus cut a lot of facilities?
