If you were excited about the sleek new OnePlus 13T launched in China, brace yourself for some disappointing news. OnePlus has officially confirmed to The Verge that the highly anticipated device will NOT be available in Europe or North America.

This means that fans in these regions are left with limited options, stuck with the larger models that seem to dominate the lineup. But there’s a twist—while the 13T won’t grace US shores, it will be sold in India under the name 13S, sparking hopes for a potential US release that have now been dashed.

Celina Shi, OnePlus Europe’s chief marketing officer, shared her insight with The Verge, stating that "currently, we have no plans to launch the OnePlus 13S in Europe." She also remarked that they are aware of the interest from European users and will consider it in future product launch decisions.

Spenser Blank, North America’s marketing head, echoed her sentiments, leaving many fans feeling disheartened.

A Small Phone With Big Features!

Now, for those who might argue that a 6.3-inch display can hardly be labeled as 'compact', you're not alone in feeling that way. However, this is considerably smaller than the 6.8-inch displays found on the OnePlus 13 and 13R. Interestingly, the 13T manages to fit in a larger battery than its predecessors, thanks to advanced silicon-carbon technology.

With potentially enhanced battery life in a smaller form factor, the OnePlus 13T certainly piqued interest among tech enthusiasts. It’s frustrating to see such a compelling device remain out of reach for US and European consumers.
