A new Geekbench listing has been spotted showing us how the OnePlus 13T may fare in terms of performance, and corroborating expectations about the chip powering the phone.

OnePlus, despite earlier saying it won't release any more T-branded flagships, appears to have changed its mind. The OnePlus 13T is now gearing up for launch and has recently been spotted sporting a light pink color. Now, it's made a visit to Geekbench.

The OnePlus 13T's listing on the benchmarking website confirms earlier rumors that it will sport the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the current flagship processor by Qualcomm. The entry also reveals the flagship having 16GB of RAM (something that the likes of the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max can't boast about).

The device appears listed under model number PKX110 and has managed to score 2,900 in single and 8,934 in multi-core tests. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it comes with the Adreno 830 GPU and Android 15.





For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro Max got 3,331 in single and 8,106 in multi on Geekbench, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra managed 3,137 in single and 9,769 in multi. As you can see, the OnePLus 13T managed to outrun the iPhone 16 Pro Max in multi-core but lost in single. Still, it is slightly less powerful than the overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Galaxy.

It's worth noting that these benchmark results don't always accurately reflect real-life performance. These numbers are all pretty high anyway and both the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Galaxy S25 Ultra are incredibly snappy and powerful devices. It's great that the OnePlus 13T will join them up there, at least judging by these results.

 
There's no longer the circular camera island and now we may have more of a square-shaped camera bump. The phone is expected to feature a triple camera setup with a 50MP primary camera and a 50MP 2x telephoto camera. The third camera is said to be an ultra-wide one.

Digital Chat Station also mentioned the phone may be available in three color options: a black variant, a light pink one (which leaked not too long ago), and a gray one. It is not clear if one of these three will be reserved for the Chinese market or if all three will be available globally.

The OnePlus 13T will debut initially in China and will likely get a global release at a later date. The phone will likely pack a huge battery cell under the hood. Rumors say it may be a 6,200mAh battery. The battery of this bad boy is confirmed by OnePlus itself to be at least 6,000mAh, but the exact number has not been confirmed just yet.

The OnePlus 13T is expected to battle the best for the title of the best phone of 2025. It has the likes of the Galaxy S25 Ultra to face, and the Ultra by Samsung comes with an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite and a refined design, but not too many insane upgrades this year.

Also, another competitor of the OnePlus 13T is the iPhone 16 Pro, although the iPhone 16 models have gotten themselves into some huge controversy recently by the fact that Apple has delayed the promised Apple Intelligent Siri.
