OnePlus 13 is likely to arrive next month. While there are strong rumours about the next-gen OnePlus flagship phone arriving next month, the company’s China president Louis Ji has hinted that the OnePlus 13 could arrive sometime in October this year.

Ji has announced on Weibo that the second-generation BOE X-Series (BOE X2) display will launch in October. It is worth noting that the OnePlus 12 had the first-generation BOE X-Series screen. Therefore, the executive’s latest post about the launch of the BOE X2 panel hints that the OnePlus 13 may be announced next month.

The company could also choose to just tease the flagship device in October and release it later this year. But, nothing has been officially confirmed and we will have to wait for a few days or weeks to get more clarity on this. The panel will operate at 2K resolution like the OnePlus 12.

Leaks so far suggest that the OnePlus 13 will get major upgrades. It is said to come with a new flagship chipset, a new set of rear cameras, a bigger battery, a better IP rating, longer software support, and an improved fingerprint sensor. Take a look at the specs that have been leaked so far.

The OnePlus 13 is expected to feature a 6.8-inch micro-curved display with 2K resolution, which uses LTPO technology for better battery efficiency. This display setup is very similar to the OnePlus 12, showing only minor changes in this area.

The device is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. Rumors suggest that it features significant camera upgrades, including a multi-focal camera system with a periscope telephoto lens for improved zoom capabilities. The OnePlus 13 may feature a triple camera setup with a 50MP primary sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens.

Design leaks have been contradictory, with some indicating major changes and others minimal updates. However, it is expected that the flagship will retain the circular camera module seen on the current model. One notable upgrade is rumoured to be an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which is expected to work even with oily or dirty fingers, unlike the optical sensor used in its predecessor.
