OnePlus will launch its latest flagship smartphone, OnePlus 13, at a launch event in China later this month. The OnePlus 13 is reportedly being rushed to market to capitalize on the hype created for the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4/Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
OnePlus 13 price:
In a latest leak on Chinese social media platform Weibo, OnePlus 13 is tipped to launch at a price of CNY 5,299 for the 16GB RAM/512GB storage variant, which would amount to CNY 500 or an increase of 10.4% compared to the OnePlus 12, which launched at CNY 4,799 for the same variant.
While no such leak has been made for the OnePlus 13 India variant yet, a similar percentage increase could result in the upcoming device's price being around 10 percent. ₹77,000, compared to the OnePlus 12 that was launched on ₹69,999.
OnePlus 13 specifications:
According to leaks, the OnePlus 13 could be the first phone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4/8 Elite processor. Notably, the processor is said to outperform the iPhone 16 Pro's A18 Pro processor in some benchmarks.
Apple has dominated the smartphone market for years with its own silicon, with Android chipsets a distant second. However, with the launch of the Snapdragon chipset this year, this trend may change.
The OnePlus 13 is said to feature a 6.8-inch BOE's X2 LTPO AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 6,000 nits and 1,600 nits in high brightness mode (HBM). It is also said to have a massive 6,000mAh battery and an IP68/69 water resistance rating. There could also be support for 100W fast charging and 50W magnetic wireless charging.
Another major upgrade for the OnePlus 13 will likely be the addition of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, compared to an optical sensor on its predecessor. It is generally accepted that ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are faster and more secure than optical sensors and can also be used with wet or dirty fingers. Top-end flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro also boast optical fingerprint sensors.
