After the launch of OnePlus 12, the company is expected to release its new member OnePlus 13 soon. Although the company has not announced anything officially yet, rumors are spreading on the internet. In the latest leak, a tipster has shared a sketch of the cover, which hints at a modified camera module. According to the post shared on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus 13 will feature a quad-camera module. Previous leaks also suggest that the OnePlus 13 could be one of the first phones to sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. OnePlus 13 may hit the market in October this year, exactly 10 months after the release of its predecessor OnePlus 12.

OnePlus 13: Everything we know so far

A new design: According to a recent leak, rumored images of the OnePlus 13 have surfaced, showing it covered in a protective shell. While both the OnePlus 12 and its predecessor had a similar camera design, the next flagship model is expected to feature a redesigned camera island, marking a change in the phone’s aesthetic.

Display: On the display front, the OnePlus 13 is rumored to have the same 2K resolution screen that has become standard in recent flagship models. This will ensure clear visuals, whether you’re watching videos or playing games. Another interesting addition could be an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which would provide faster and more secure unlocking than the optical fingerprint sensors found in most smartphones today.

Powerful Processor: OnePlus is rumored to be pushing the upcoming OnePlus 13 smartphone to feature 24GB of RAM, promising better performance especially in areas like AI and gaming. Increased RAM generally improves multitasking capabilities, allowing phones to run more efficiently and deliver better performance, especially beneficial for power users who handle intensive tasks.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 is also rumored to be one of the first phones powered by Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. This chipset is said to offer substantial improvements over its predecessor. If OnePlus manages to secure this chip for the OnePlus 13, it could easily become one of the most powerful devices on the market.

Advanced Camera: According to speculations, the OnePlus 13 will have an upgraded periscope camera sensor. Although no further details have been provided about the camera hardware, it is noted that the upcoming OnePlus device will use the same image processing algorithms as the rumored Oppo Find X8 series, which is expected to launch in China next month .

With this improved periscope camera, Oppo’s image processing software, and OnePlus’ partnership with Hasselblad, the OnePlus 13 is poised to become one of the most competitive smartphones in terms of photography, at least on paper.

Previous reports indicate that the OnePlus 13 will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera equipped with a Sony LYT-808 sensor and f/1.6 aperture. It will also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera that offers 3x optical zoom for enhanced photography versatility.
