OnePlus is set to launch the OnePlus 13 in global markets by December 2024 or January 2025. After its recent launch in China, the flagship smartphone will soon be available in India. The OnePlus 13 is expected to compete with other top flagships like the iPhone 16 and Samsung Galaxy S24, offering several exciting new features. Once launched, buyers can also purchase the device on Easy EMIs via the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network, with exclusive offers.
Key specs of the OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 builds upon the design of its predecessor, the OnePlus 12, keeping some familiar elements like the circular camera island and a 6.82-inch display. However, it comes with a few notable improvements, such as the ability to use the phone even while wearing gloves. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and comes with a 6,000 mAh battery, which is a significant upgrade over the previous model. The phone also supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging for fast recharges.
In terms of photography, the OnePlus 13 features an upgraded camera system. It retains the 50MP LYT-808 primary camera from the OnePlus 12, but adds improved 50MP telephoto and ultrawide sensors. These cameras have been co-engineered with Hasselblad.
Display and design
The 6.82-inch display offers QHD+ resolution and a high refresh rate of 1-120Hz, with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. The phone will run on OxygenOS 15 with 4 years of major Android updates and 5 years of security patches.
Durability and security
The OnePlus 13 comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings, meaning it can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes and can withstand high-pressure water jets and steam cleaning. It also includes an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for better security and reliability compared to optical sensors.
Pricing and availability
The OnePlus 13 is expected to offer up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage, with the base model likely priced between Rs 55,000 and Rs 60,000. The top variant could cost around Rs 85,000. Once available, customers can purchase the device through the Bajaj Finserv EMI Network, which offers easy financing options and exclusive discounts.
