After the resounding success of the OnePlus 12, the Shenzhen-based company is now turning its attention to its next flagship, the OnePlus 13. The handset is expected to launch initially in China in October, but leaks have already started appearing, and they are hinting at something special from OnePlus this time. The OnePlus 13 is set to debut with Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. Reports also suggest a major camera upgrade with new primary and telephoto lenses.
Additionally, OnePlus is banking on AI features in the new phone, which could include Google-powered tools like AI Eraser, AI Speak, and AI Summary. We may also see some image-generation tools to compete with Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S25 series. OnePlus 13 is expected to carry a price tag of around Rs. 60,000-Rs. 70,000, and customers can split the phone’s price into Easy EMIs by using the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network Card once the smartphone arrives in India.
Now, let’s take a closer look at what OnePlus will offer in the OnePlus 13.
OnePlus 13 design: The OnePlus 13 is expected to retain a design language similar to the OnePlus 12. The back panel may once again feature textured glass with a Flowy Emerald finish, offering it a stylish look. The aluminium frame will enhance the overall premium feel while providing a better grip. The handset will feature a large circular camera island at the rear with ‘H’ branding, which is for the Hasselblad camera. However, OnePlus may shift the module from Left to Centre in the new phone.
Furthermore, the back could be shielded by the latest iteration of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus as an upgrade over Gorilla Glass 5. Also, the OnePlus 13 may get the most-awaited IP68 rating, making the phone dust and waterproof. It will be slightly lighter than its predecessor, making it more comfortable to hold in one hand.
Display: The upcoming OnePlus flagship is rumoured to sport a taller 6.8-inch 8T display. The 8T LPTO OLED panel will have a high pixel resolution of 2.5K and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. With these specs, it's anticipated to be one of the best screens available in any flagship smartphone. It will be sharp and vibrant, with great viewing angles and a good amount of brightness, and legible under direct sunlight. OnePlus always keeps the colours well calibrated—neither too cold nor too warm, so the same is expected this time.
One major change we might see in the OnePlus 13 is the use of a micro-quad curved panel. This means the display of the OnePlus 13 will be slightly less curved than that of the OnePlus 12, similar to what we have seen on the OPPO Reno 12 Pro. This design gives the OnePlus mobile a more youthful look and eliminates the issue of accidental touches. Additionally, the micro-curved panel strikes the perfect balance between curved and flat displays, making it appealing to a wide range of users.
Camera: The camera on the OnePlus 13 is going to be the game changer. The flagship smartphone is expected to feature a 50MP Sony LYT808 sensor as the primary shooter. It will be assisted by a 50MP ultrawide lens with a wider field of view than that of the OnePlus 12. The third camera would be a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom. Considering the advanced specifications, this camera setup will be more than capable of capturing detailed and bright images even in challenging conditions. For selfie enthusiasts, rumours hint at a new 32MP shooter on the front.
The OnePlus 13 camera is also expected to include useful AI-assisted features like AI Eraser. With this, you can easily remove any unwanted objects from your frame, ensuring the picture belongs entirely to you. Other tools like AI Clear Face, AI Smart Image, and AI Best Face will take your photography experience to another level. Also, OPPO’s AI Studio feature, which is used to create AI avatars, may make its way to the OnePlus 13.
Processor: The upcoming mobile will be powered by Qualcomm’s cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. This means it will be the fastest Android phone in the market at the time of launch. Leaks suggest that the Geekbench scores of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 are better than the A18 Pro chipset on the recently launched Apple iPhone 16 Pro series! Thus, you can expect a seamless and buttery smooth performance with quicker app launches. The handset will play high-graphics consuming games like Genshin Impact, BGMI and COD: Mobile in the highest settings without any lag or stutter. Moreover, the smartphone will have up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
Battery: The OnePlus 13 is expected to feature the largest battery ever seen in the company's flagship models. According to reports, it could come with a massive 6,000 mAh cell, along with support for 100W fast charging.
