OnePlus confirms 13T is on the way with very bizarre April Fool’s joke video

Right this moment is April Idiot’s Day, so we have to deal with something we see as suspect. Even when an organization broadcasts what appears like the subsequent finest Android smartphone, we have to maintain up our arms and say, “Wait a minute,” earlier than believing it to be true.

That mentioned, we’re almost sure that OnePlus’ April Idiot’s Day occasion truly does embody a reliable announcement. On Weibo, the firm posted an over-the-top, extremely foolish video depicting a faux smartphone “launch.” It includes Thor’s hammer, a visit by area and time, the destruction of a whole planet, and a person being shrunk down and nearly getting crushed below a shoe. It’s…rather a lot.

Nevertheless, in the finish, you’re handled with the firm’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 similar Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. OnePlus didn’t say something about that in the video, although. All it confirmed was the cellphone’s title and that it will 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 supposed explicitly for the Chinese language market and OnePlus doesn’t have an identical one for Western nations, this cellphone might 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 line again for what’s going to ostensibly be a “OnePlus 13 Mini” or a “OnePlus 13 Slim,” however that’s a query for an additional day.
