OnePlus is getting ready to launch its newest phone, the OnePlus 13. After months of guesses and leaks, the company has finally shared the launch date and design details. The OnePlus 13 will replace the OnePlus 12, with big improvements in how it works, looks, and its camera.
Here’s everything you need to know about the OnePlus 13
Official Launch Date and Colors
The OnePlus 13 will launch in China on October 31 at 4 PM local time. Even though it’s starting in China, the phone will be available worldwide later in 2024 or early 2025. Exact dates for other countries haven’t been given yet.
The OnePlus 13 will come in three colors: Blue, Black, and White. The black and white versions have a simple, clean look. The blue one is different because it has a two-color design, with a white camera section that makes it stand out.
Design Changes and Camera Updates
The OnePlus 13 looks a lot like the OnePlus 12, but there are some changes. The biggest change is the camera. Now, the camera sits in a separate circle on the left side of the back, instead of blending into the body. The Hasselblad logo has also been moved above a metal strip on the back, giving it a fresh look.
Overall, the phone has a sharper, more polished design. The back is now made of textured glass instead of matte, and the blue version even has a leather-like back, similar to some other new phones.
OnePlus 13 Features
The OnePlus 13 isn’t just about its design—it also has powerful technology. Here are the main features:
- Display: A 6.8-inch 2K AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and bright, clear pictures. It also has BOE X2 technology, which adjusts the refresh rate for better performance and eye care.
- Processor: It will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (or Snapdragon 8 Gen 4), making it super fast and great for gaming.
- RAM and Storage: The phone will have up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage for apps, photos, and games.
- Cameras: A 50MP triple-camera system:
- 50MP main camera (Sony LYT-808)
- 50MP ultra-wide camera
- 50MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom
- 50MP front camera for selfies and video calls
- Battery: A 6,000mAh battery that lasts a long time. It supports 100W fast charging with a wire and 50W wireless charging.
The phone will run on OxygenOS, likely based on Android 14, and will have features to improve gaming, battery, and display quality.
Global Launch and Price
After launching in China, the OnePlus 13 is expected to be released worldwide by late 2024 or early 2025. It may come to places like India, Europe, and the US before Christmas. The price is expected to be higher than the OnePlus 12, but with all the new features, the increase seems worth it.
Final Thoughts
The OnePlus 13 is shaping up to be a top phone, with its fast Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and powerful 50MP cameras. Whether you like gaming, taking photos, or just want a fast phone, the OnePlus 13 has a lot to offer. We’ll see more details on October 31 when it launches in China.
