According to an official confirmation from OnePlus, the highly anticipated OnePlus 13 will go on sale worldwide and in India in January 2025. The gadget, which debuted in China last month, is a major improvement over the OnePlus 12. The OnePlus 13’s debut in China gives us a good indication of what the global version will offer, even though the company has not disclosed the precise date of the global launch.
The base edition of the OnePlus 13 was released in China for 4,999 Yuan, or roughly Rs 57,000. Because of import taxes and other expenses, the device is anticipated to cost a little more in India. In conclusion, the OnePlus 12 cost Rs 64,999 when it was first released in India, and the OnePlus 13 is expected to cost less than Rs 70,000. The OnePlus flagship will compete with high-end devices such as the iPhone 16, Oppo Find X8 series, and Realme GT 7 Pro. However, the precise price is yet unknown.
Features and characteristics of the OnePlus 13
Significant improvements have been made to the OnePlus 13’s display, battery, camera, processor, and other components in China.
Display: Similar in size to the OnePlus 12, the OnePlus 13 boasts a 6.82-inch AMOLED screen with QHD+ resolution but with additional features. With a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits and a standard mode brightness of 1,600, it provides remarkable brightness and supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz. This year’s display is notable for its glove usability, which makes it useful in colder climates, and its local high refresh rate function, which enables dynamic refresh rate modification for best performance and power economy.
Performance: Qualcomm’s most recent Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which powers the OnePlus 13, promises top-tier performance for AI applications, gaming, and multitasking. This chipset is combined with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage for smoother performance and quicker data processing.
Battery and charging: The battery is one of the most significant improvements. The OnePlus 13’s enormous 6,000mAh battery significantly improves over the OnePlus 12’s 5,400mAh capacity. According to OnePlus, this bigger battery can run for almost two days between charges. The gadget supports both 50W wireless and 100W cable charging. It also offers magnetic wireless charging with specially made cases, the first for OnePlus.
Cameras: The OnePlus 13’s camera system has also experienced some significant improvements. The OnePlus 12’s primary 50-megapixel LYT-808 sensor has been improved. Thanks to upgrades to the telephoto and ultrawide sensors to 50 megapixels apiece, the OnePlus 13 is now one of the only smartphones with a back camera configuration that is exclusively 50 megapixels. Its ongoing collaboration with Hasselblad guarantees cutting-edge colour processing and accuracy. The device also supports Dolby Vision video recording at 4K/60 frames per second for high-quality video capture.
Construction and security: With IP68 and IP69 ratings, the OnePlus 13 is resistant to dust and water, even high-pressure water jets. It also has an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that unlocks wet hands more quickly and accurately.
