After the recent launch of the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro, equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and a 6,100mAh battery, OnePlus appears to be shifting its attention to its upcoming models, the OnePlus Ace 4 and OnePlus 13. If OnePlus’s recent release patterns are any indication, we can expect these new smartphones to make their debut either by the end of this year or at the beginning of next year.
A well-known Chinese tipster recently revealed intriguing details about the battery capacities of these forthcoming devices. According to the leak, the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus Ace 4 will feature substantial 6,000mAh batteries. Furthermore, there is speculation that OnePlus, or its parent company BBK Electronics through its subsidiary Oppo, may introduce a device with an even more impressive 6,500mAh battery.
Potential 6,500mAh Battery Phone in Development
The tipster, Digital Chat Station, shared on Weibo (translated from Chinese) that the Ouga group, which encompasses Oppo and OnePlus, is currently testing prototypes equipped with 6,500mAh batteries. These prototypes reportedly utilize advanced new-generation silicon materials. If these tests are successful, OnePlus could potentially be the first to launch a smartphone with this substantial battery capacity.
Additionally, OnePlus is reportedly developing new phones featuring micro-curved screens with 1.5K and 2K resolutions, alongside the aforementioned 6,000mAh batteries. These specifications are likely for the OnePlus Ace 4 and OnePlus 13, respectively. Should these details prove accurate, it would mark a significant upgrade from the 5,500mAh battery of the OnePlus 12 and the 5,400mAh battery of the OnePlus Ace 3.
Leaked Specifications of the OnePlus 13
Earlier leaks have already provided some insight into the OnePlus 13. The device is expected to feature an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. It is also rumored to be the first OnePlus flagship to achieve an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. Moreover, it is likely to maintain the 100W fast charging support and include a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 sensor for its main camera.
The OnePlus 13 is anticipated to launch in December in China, with a broader release expected in early 2025. Meanwhile, the OnePlus Ace 4 is likely to be officially unveiled in January next year, following the release pattern of its predecessor, the OnePlus Ace 3.
Stay tuned as more details emerge about these highly anticipated devices.
