OnePlus 13 specs

The OnePlus 13 departs from its predecessors' curves, featuring a quad-curved design that gives it a flat appearance with subtle curves around the edges. This results in a slightly shorter phone, still equipped with a 6.82-inch display.

It boasts BOE’s X2 OLED display, an 8T LTPO panel with a 1440p resolution and a refresh rate of 1-120 Hz. The typical brightness is 800 nits, while peak brightness can reach 4,500 nits. It also includes an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.

A standout feature is the new vibration motor, designed to deliver “gaming controller level feedback” and is the largest ever found in an Android device, as per the company. OnePlus 13 is also introducing a new IP69 rating, a feature gaining popularity among Chinese flagship devices. This rating goes beyond IP68 by providing additional protection against high-pressure water and steam cleaning.

On the back, the OnePlus 13 sports three Hasselblad-branded 50-megapixel cameras: a main camera with a Sony LYT-808 sensor and OIS, a 3x periscope lens (LYT-600) with a 73mm equivalent focal range, and a 15mm equivalent ultrawide camera using Samsung’s S5KJN5 sensor, which also serves as a macro lens. Plus, the phone has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

It runs ColorOS 15 based on Android 15 for the Chinese market, with international versions expected to feature OxygenOS 15. The device is powered by a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
