The verdict, up front

Best Android-compact-flagship of 2025.

OnePlus 13T (Ace 5 Pro in China) is the only sub-6.4-inch Android flagship with SD 8 Elite and a 6,000+ mAh battery — putting it ahead of Galaxy S25 base on endurance and Vivo X200 FE on chip. The compromise is no ultrawide camera and IP65 instead of IP68.

What works
  • 6,260 mAh in 185 g is class-leading.
  • SD 8 Elite in a sub-6.4" compact body.
  • Flat screen — no curved-edge mistouches.
  • 6-year security floor.
What doesn't
  • No ultrawide camera.
  • No wireless charging.
  • IP65 only, not IP68.
  • USB 2.0 in 2025 is regrettable.
