OnePlus has finally announced the India launch dates of its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 13. But, the company is using the word series with it, which means there are more phones. This will likely be the OnePlus 13R, which rumors have been suggesting for some time.

The OnePlus 13 series will be unveiled on January 7, which basically means the devices will launch in about two weeks. Along with this device, the company will also unveil its flagship earbuds, the OnePlus Buds Pro 3. Interestingly, these TWS earphones are already available in India, which suggests that the new version could be a reworked version with some additional features. OnePlus has also confirmed some features of the OnePlus 13, which confirms that the device will have similar specs to the Chinese model. Here’s everything you need to know.

OnePlus 13: specs, features

The OnePlus 13, launched in China, comes with a 6.82-inch display, maintaining the same size as its predecessor, the OnePlus 12. The screen offers a 120Hz refresh rate and QHD+ resolution, ensuring seamless viewing. It retains high brightness capabilities, reaching 1,600 nits in regular mode and an impressive 4,500 nits of peak brightness. In particular, two new features enhance the user experience: glove-friendly usability and a dynamic native high refresh rate.

The glove compatibility feature is especially beneficial for users in cold climates like Delhi during winter, allowing them to operate the device without removing their gloves. Local high refresh rate technology dynamically adjusts the screen’s refresh rate based on activity. For example, when watching a video, the refresh rate may be lower, while activities like scrolling through comments may trigger a higher rate of 60Hz, 90Hz, or 120Hz for a better experience. At the heart of the OnePlus 13 is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

A significant upgrade on the OnePlus 13 is its battery capacity, which has been increased to 6,000mAh from the OnePlus 12’s 5,400mAh. OnePlus claims that this big battery can last for about two days of usage on a single charge. The device supports 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, and magnetic wireless charging has been introduced this year via compatible cases.

On the camera front, the OnePlus 13 continues with the 50-megapixel LYT-808 primary sensor from its predecessor, but its telephoto and ultrawide lenses have seen upgrades, both of which now feature 50-megapixel sensors. The camera system, which bears Hasselblad branding, also supports 4K/60fps Dolby Vision video recording for better video quality.

The OnePlus 13 has an IP68 and IP69 rating, which means it is water resistant and able to withstand high-pressure water jets. Additional features include an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which provides more reliable unlocking even with wet hands, and a new advanced vibration motor for a better gaming experience.
