The highly anticipated OnePlus 13 is on track for an October launch in China, following the debut of the OnePlus 12 in India earlier this year. A senior executive from OnePlus recently provided a sneak peek at the device’s front design, generating excitement among fans. The current OnePlus 12 is equipped with a 6.82-inch BOE X1 display, but early indications suggest the OnePlus 13 will take things a step further with several new enhancements.
Display and Key Features
In a recent post on Weibo, Louis Lee, the head of OnePlus China, revealed that the OnePlus 13 will feature the next-generation BOE X2 display. He emphasized that extensive outdoor lighting tests have been successfully conducted, promising superior performance compared to the BOE X1. The image shared by Lee claimed that this will be “the world’s first second-generation oriental screen,” sparking curiosity about its capabilities.
Rumors suggest that the new flagship will boast a 6.82-inch 2K 10-bit LTPO BOE X2 micro quad curved OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it’s expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, potentially offering configurations with up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. Features like reverse charging and rapid 100W wired charging are also anticipated, paired with a substantial 6,000mAh battery.
Camera Upgrades
On the camera front, the OnePlus 13 is rumored to sport a robust setup, including a primary 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, complemented by a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. The design is expected to feature a revamped camera module, with leaked images of a protective case hinting at the new arrangement of the rear cameras, though specifics on the module’s shape remain unclear.
Additionally, there are whispers that the OnePlus 13 might be available in a stylish vegan leather finish, diverging from the glass design seen in the OnePlus 12, which features a distinctive circular camera island.
As the launch approaches, excitement continues to build around what the OnePlus 13 will bring to the table, particularly its innovative display technology and camera enhancements.
