What to Expect from the OnePlus 13 Launch
As mentioned earlier, there will be two models this year—the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus 13R. The OnePlus 13 will be the flagship device, while the OnePlus 13R will serve as a more affordable option.
The OnePlus 13 is expected to feature the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, while the OnePlus 13R is likely to ship with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the same chipset powering the OnePlus 12.
As for the optics, the OnePlus 13 is expected to include a triple 50 MP Hasselblad-tuned camera system, while the OnePlus 13R will also feature a triple camera setup but without Hasselblad tuning.
Coming to the design, both the devices will sport flat displays and sides, bringing them in line with the current design trends. Also, OnePlus 13 will come with dual IP ratings—IP68 and IP69—for dust and water resistance. Additionally, the brand has confirmed that both the devices will pack a 6,000 mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging.
While exact details about the available variants remain unclear, recent leaks suggest that OnePlus could offer a 24 GB RAM variant with 1 TB of storage. However, a 16 GB RAM variant with 512 GB of storage is highly likely.
