OnePlus officially announced its new flagship smartphone, OnePlus 13. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and improved vapor cooling system, OnePlus 13 will go on sale in China starting today with a price tag of approximately $ 632 for 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
For 24 GB of RAM and exactly 1 terabyte, you need to pay approximately 843 dollars. By the way, it should not be forgotten that the much more expensive iPhone 16s demand much more for features such as 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage space.
The biggest upgrades to the OnePlus 13 will be its new 6,000mAh battery, which OnePlus says offers up to 11 hours of video playback. While this battery offers more capacity than the 5,400mAh battery used in the previous OnePlus 12, the OnePlus 13’s battery will use silicon carbon technology, which offers greater power density than traditional lithium polymer batteries. As a result, the new model will be thinner but come with more battery capacity.
The OnePlus 13 offers the same charging speeds as the OnePlus 12, reaching up to 100W with a USB-C cable or 50W when using the company’s wireless chargers. It is also possible to charge other devices with reverse charging. If you put the charging box of your wireless headphones on the back of OnePlus 13, it is also possible to charge wirelessly with 10W.
The display features a 6.82-inch AMOLED panel that offers refresh rates of up to 120 Hz, a resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. The display on the OnePlus 13 looks much flatter than that of the OnePlus 12, but it still has subtle curves on all four sides.
Are you ready for a wooden phone?
Water and dust resistance has been increased to IP69 rating from the previous IP65. OnePlus 13 also has an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint reader placed under the screen.
The company also hasn’t forgotten those who like to show off their phones. Those who wish will be able to buy the new phone in a wooden case.
