OnePlus has recently revealed that this year’s flagship phone OnePlus 13 will be launched in China on October 31. Along with the release, the company has also revealed the design and color options. The device will come in three colors: Obsidian Black, White Dawn, and Blue Moment. While the launch is near, Sparrow News, a YouTube channel, has released an unboxing video of the upcoming phone. In a recent video, the OnePlus 13 is shown in its full glory.

Currently, OnePlus plans to bring OnePlus 13 only to the Chinese market. Hence, the surfaced video only talks about the Chinese version. How do we know it’s the OnePlus 13? Well, of course, the packaging is similar to the previous flagship. The phone comes in a red box with 13 letters engraved on the top corner. Apart from this, the design of the phone is similar to what was teased by the company. When the phone is turned on, it has ColorOS written on it, but the thing to note is that the Indian variant will be released with OxygenOS. In the video, the anchor also told us about themes, iPhone-like dynamic bar and more.

The OnePlus 13 features a sleek design with a micro-quad-curved display on the front and a prominent circular camera module on the back, which was evident in the official teasers and videos. Unlike previous models, the camera module no longer blends into the frame of the device. It has three lenses and an LED flash arranged symmetrically in a square pattern, all enclosed within a circular island formed by a metal ring that adds beauty and emphasizes the camera area.

A standout feature of the OnePlus 13 is its ability to maintain stable performance, largely due to its advanced cooling technology. OnePlus has announced that the device includes a second-generation Tiangong cooling system, which has been upgraded to Pro-level for sustained high-power operation.

OnePlus 13 to launch on October 31: What to expect?

The OnePlus 13 is set to offer significant upgrades over its predecessor, the OnePlus 12. One of the highlights is the processor, as this device will be the first to feature Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. With its advanced Orion Core, it promises superior performance and energy efficiency, ensuring a seamless experience for multitasking, gaming and other demanding tasks.

Battery life and fast charging are areas where OnePlus excels, and the OnePlus 13 is likely to continue this trend. It is rumored to have a 6,000mAh battery, which is a significant jump from the previous model’s 5,400mAh battery, offering extended usage for users on the go.

Additionally, the phone is expected to support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, enabling fast and convenient power-ups. Whether charging via cable or wirelessly, users can expect minimal downtime, ensuring the device is always ready for use.

When will OnePlus 13 come to India?

As the OnePlus 13 is set to debut in China, Indian audiences are curious to know when the flagship phone will hit the Indian market. Although there is no official information yet, but there is speculation that OnePlus 13 will come to India in January 2025. To understand better, let’s follow in the company’s footsteps. OnePlus 12 was launched in China in December 2023, and will come to India in January 2024. It’s true that, as for the next flagship phone, the OnePlus 13 is coming to town a little earlier than its predecessor, but it’s unlikely that OnePlus India will launch the device this year.
