We already know a great deal about this compact flagship and now, it’s time to learn a few things about its cameras, too.
The official OnePlus account on Weibo (a large Chinese social media platform) has officially confirmed that the 13T model will come with a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a main (standard wide) camera and a telephoto unit. Notably, there is no dedicated ultra-wide snapper. To me, this makes perfect sense, as I use the ultra-wide unit on my phone way less than the telephoto cameras.
The post says the phone will utilize:
- 50 MP sensor for the main camera
- 50 MP 2x optical telephoto camera (with 4x lossless zoom)
- Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition flagship ISP (Image Signal Processor)
- Oppo’s latest flagship imaging algorithm (not a typo: OnePlus and Oppo are joined at the hip)
Probably, the main camera will utilize the Sony IMX906 camera sensor.Since this is all specs and numbers, let’s take a look at the sample photos OnePlus shared and that are allegedly made with the 13T newcomer:

Of course, these are promotional shots, and they’ve been taken by professionals in the best possible light conditions. However, they do look stunning and the 13T is shaping out to be a great options for those who love to take pictures with their phones.
Putting its cameras aside, the upcoming OnePlus 13T is shaping up to be a serious flagship contender, especially when it comes to raw performance. A recent Geekbench listing confirms that the device is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with an impressive 16 GB of RAM – a configuration that outpaces even top-tier rivals like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra in memory capacity.
On Geekbench, the 13T posted scores of 2,900 in single-core and 8,934 in multi-core tests. While slightly behind the Galaxy S25 Ultra in both categories, it outperformed the iPhone 16 Pro Max in multi-core performance. The phone is also equipped with the powerful Adreno 830 GPU and will ship with Android 15. These early results suggest the OnePlus 13T will deliver smooth, top-level performance across demanding apps, games, and multitasking – firmly placing it among the most powerful Android phones expected this year.
Oh, and it should have a massive 6,200 mAh capacity battery as a cherry on top.
Again, the official unveiling will take place on April 25 – that’s the Chinese premiere. So far, there is no confirmation that this potential hit will make it to international markets, but let’s keep our fingers crossed.
