OnePlus 13T: Official teaser video lands as new compact flagship outperforms Oppo Find N5 and Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra in early benchmarks
Earlier today, OnePlus finally confirmed the date of its launch event for the OnePlus 13T. With images of the device having already leaked online, OnePlus has now shared a short promotional video on Weibo that emphasises its compact credentials.
Embedded below, the 43-second clip provides a brief glimpse at OnePlus' new shortcut button, which is in exactly the same place as the Action Button on the iPhone 16 (curr. $679 - refurbished on Amazon). Incidentally, the video also shows the OnePlus 13T spinning around in exactly the same way seen in a recent 'leaked' video posted on Chinese social media.

Ultimately, both videos reveal precious little about the OnePlus 13T beyond its design. By contrast, a set of benchmark leaks have reiterated not only OnePlus' choice of chipset and RAM, but also the handset's prospective performance. As always, Geekbench does not refer to the OnePlus 13T by name. Instead, it only mentions the model number 'PKX110', which AnTuTu linked to the OnePlus 13T earlier this month.
For example, the inclusion of 16 GB of RAM can be clearly made out, as can a standard Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with prime cores clocked at 4.3 GHz and performance cores running behind at 3.5 GHz. Taking the average of the eight benchmark listings that have surfaced so far gives the OnePlus 13T single-core and multi-core scores in Geekbench 6.4 of 3,033 and 9,324, respectively.
As a result, it looks like the Snapdragon 8 Elite will fall just below the median performance that we have achieved in the same benchmarks to date. These scores would also see the OnePlus 13T sitting just shy of the OnePlus 13, which achieved scores of 3,087 and 9,369 when we tested it. Nonetheless, the OnePlus 13T appears set to outperform not just the Find N5, but also the Poco F7 Ultra and Xiaomi 15, among other modern flagships.
