OnePlus set the tech world abuzz with the confirmation that the OnePlus 13 will be launched in China in October, as revealed by OnePlus China President Louis Lee. But the excitement doesn’t end there. Lee dropped more hints, revealing that the flagship smartphone will feature the "latest generation of flagship chips." This points towards the possibility of the OnePlus 13 being powered by Qualcomm's much-anticipated Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which could make the device a standout in terms of performance.

We don’t have the launch date for the OnePlus 13 yet. However, there have been several leaks around the phone that hint at the possible pricing, chipset, camera and other details about the phone. Here is everything we know about the phone so far.

One of the major highlights of the OnePlus 13 will be its focus on gaming, with Lee stating that it will offer the industry's first 120fps "Genshin Impact" gaming experience. With this ultra-fast frame rate and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset under the hood, you can expect some impressive performance from the phone.

OnePlus 13 design and display leaks

In terms of design, recent leaks suggest that the OnePlus 13 will showcase a fresh look with a redesigned camera island, marking a departure from the camera designs seen in the OnePlus 12 and its predecessor. The new design is expected to give the OnePlus 13 a distinctive aesthetic, although no official images have been released yet.

On the display front, the OnePlus 13 is likely to retain the 2K resolution screen that has become a staple of OnePlus’ flagship devices. However, a notable new feature could be the inclusion of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which promises faster and more secure unlocking compared to the optical sensors typically found in smartphones.

OnePlus 13 RAM and performance leaks

Under the hood, rumours are swirling that OnePlus might push the envelope with 24GB of RAM, a massive leap in mobile performance, especially for tasks that demand high processing power, like AI applications and gaming. Such a large memory capacity would also enhance multitasking capabilities, allowing users to seamlessly switch between apps without experiencing any slowdowns.

OnePlus 13 camera leaks

The camera setup of the OnePlus 13 is expected to get a significant upgrade, with a periscope camera sensor leading the charge. While specific details remain under wraps, the device is likely to share the same image processing algorithm as the upcoming Oppo Find X8 series. Combined with OnePlus’ long-standing partnership with Hasselblad, the OnePlus 13 could emerge as a serious contender in smartphone photography.

Reports suggest that the OnePlus 13 will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera with a Sony LYT-808 sensor and an f/1.6 aperture. It will also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, offering 3x optical zoom, promising versatility for photography enthusiasts.

OnePlus 13 battery leak

Another recent report suggests that the upcoming OnePlus 13 is likely to feature a massive 6,000mAh battery. The leak also hints at impressive charging capabilities, suggesting that the device will support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging. These features would mark a significant upgrade in battery performance and charging speed, ensuring that users can quickly recharge their devices and enjoy long-lasting usage throughout the day.

If this rumour holds true, the OnePlus 13 could appeal to users who prioritise fast charging and extended battery life.

OnePlus 13 expected India pricing

As for pricing, OnePlus has not made anything official yet. However, the OnePlus 12 launched in India at Rs 64,999, and it's expected that the OnePlus 13 will be priced similarly, though new features could push the price slightly higher. While the phone is expected to launch in China first, users in India can anticipate its arrival shortly after, continuing OnePlus’ tradition of staggered releases across markets. However, it's important to note that many of these details are based on rumours and leaks, with no official confirmation from OnePlus just yet.
