Although Oneplus has heard the interest from Europe, the manufacturer will not be offering the 13T in this country.

A few days ago, Oneplus unveiled the 13T, a relatively compact smartphone with a disproportionately large battery. Unlike older models in the T series, the manufacturer will not be bringing it to Europe.
The Oneplus 13T presented last week for the Chinese market (as the "13s" model in India) will not be coming to Europe and the USA, as The Verge has learned. This means that there will be no fairly compact smartphone with a huge battery in this country for now.
Oneplus: "No plans at the moment"
As Celina Shi, Chief Marketing Officer for Oneplus Europe, told The Verge by email, the company has "currently no plans" to launch the OnePlus 13s in Europe. However, despite the recent rejection, a launch of the product in Europe is not completely out of the question.
The company's head of marketing went on to say that they had taken note of the interest shown by European users in the product. It will be kept in mind in "future decisions on product launches." For the US market and Canada, Spenser Blank, Oneplus' head of marketing for North America, also gave the Verge almost the same statement.
Large smartphones: Oneplus sells 13 and 13R in Europe

With the rejection, the manufacturer is offering the 13 and 13R models in Europe, which do not stand out from the crowd with their 6.8-inch screens. This would be different with the 13T or 13s, as 6.3 inches is now considered compact by current smartphone standards.
Of course, there are still models like the Galaxy S25 or the Pixel 9 and 9a. Compared to the models that have a rather conservatively sized battery, the 13T stands out from the crowd with its 6260 mAh battery and should easily deliver two days of battery life.
