The latest OnePlus 13 smartphone will be officially released in October. Some preliminary details on expected price, camera, and processor have been confirmed.
Yesterday, OnePlus announced it would release the OnePlus 13 this October in China, in keeping with an earlier statement by OnePlus China President Louis Lee. To be sure, Lee mentioned that the flagship will feature the “latest generation of flagship chips.” Probably talking about the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, which promises to deliver great performance.
Though the release date is still a secret, some rumors have been leaked about its pricing, specifications, camera, and even more. Here’s what we know so far about the OnePlus 13:
It is going to be one of the gaming powerhouses.
The essence of the OnePlus 13 lies in its gaming cred. According to Lee, the gadget promises to be an industry pioneer in terms of offering the 120fps gaming experience for “Genshin Impact.” The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset will only ensure remarkable performance, much more so for a gaming aficionado.
Design and Display
Recent leaks point out that the OnePlus 13 will come with a new design, offering an entirely different camera island but very much in contrast to those of the OnePlus 12 and all of its predecessors. Of course, no official images have been released, but its new look should sufficiently differentiate it from the OnePlus 13.
Display
It will probably retain its flagship’s signature 2K resolution. Perhaps the most significant upgrade would be adding an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, which would grant a much quicker, more secure unlock than the standard optical readers can offer.
RAM and Performance
Rumor has it that OnePlus will really step up with a staggering 24GB of RAM. That’s an enormous boost in memory, leading to superior mobile performance, especially in games and AI applications, which are all relatively demanding on the processor. This kind of capacity also means that it’ll be comfortable handling multiple things simultaneously without missing a beat, making it easy to switch between apps.
Camera Advances
The OnePlus 13 is expected to come with a major camera upgrade and will notably feature a periscope camera sensor. Details are scarce, but the OnePlus 13 is expected to use the same image processing algorithms as the Oppo Find X8 series. Since OnePlus recently partnered with Hasselblad, the OnePlus 13 stands ready to be a great smartphone photography machine.
Reports indicate that it comes with a 50-megapixel primary camera, using a Sony LYT-808 sensor and f/1.6 aperture, and also integrated with another 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x zoom optical. To conclude, this will be an all-inclusive setup for all photographers.
Battery and Charging
The second interesting leak reveals that the OnePlus 13 may come with a massive 6,000mAh battery. It may also offer exciting charging speeds, with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless fast charging. This would allow users to enjoy more longevity in the battery and faster charge times.
The Expected Prices in India:
OnePlus has not disclosed prices for the new model. The OP 13 may range around ₹64,999, which is the price at which the OnePlus 12 was launched in India. The phone is likely to be sold at a premium due to the new features on the phone. The new model is likely to release first in Chinese markets before its availability becomes accessible to Indian buyers. Following the pattern of its regional release, OnePlus will eventually make it available in the Indian market.
These details are nothing but just rumors and leaked info from the web. Of course, there is no official affirmation by OnePlus. So, we have to wait a little longer.
