After confirming the launch date, OnePlus has also shared a glimpse of the OnePlus 13R specs. Launching on January 7, the OnePlus 13R will arrive in India alongside the flagship model OnePlus 13. Now, ahead of its official launch, OnePlus has confirmed that the upcoming 13R will have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 6,000mAh battery and feature Gorilla Glass 7i on both the front and back. With an aluminum frame and flat-screen, the phone maintains a slim profile, measuring just 8mm in thickness. Let’s take a look at the details of the OnePlus 13R.

OnePlus 13R chipset and battery revealed

Ahead of the launch event, the company has officially revealed that the OnePlus 13R will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. To recap, its predecessor, the OnePlus 12R, was launched with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. OnePlus usually offers a year-old flagship chip with its R series phones. The Amazon listing also reveals that the upcoming phone will be bundled with OnePlus AI features like AI Notes, AI Cleanup, AI Imaging Power, Intelligent Search, and more. It also reveals that the camera system will also sport a snapshot feature.

The e-commerce website has also revealed that the toned-down variant will have a larger 6,000mAh battery, which promises to deliver longer playtime. OnePlus 13R will also have SuperVOOC fast charging feature. This is a significant upgrade compared to the 5500mAh battery packed in the OnePlus 12R.

The OnePlus 13R features a noticeably new design compared to its predecessor. It has a boxy chassis with softly rounded corners, complemented by a circular camera module located near the left edge. This module has a triple-camera system with LED flash. On the front, a centrally-aligned punch-hole cutout accommodates the selfie camera. The volume rocker and power button are conveniently placed on the right edge, while the iconic alert slider is located on the left. According to the Amazon listing, the OnePlus 13R will be available in two attractive colors: Nebula Noir and Astral Trial.

OnePlus 13R: what to expect

If leaks are to be believed, OnePlus 13R may have 100W fast charging technology. OnePlus is one of the few brands that bundles a charger in the retail box, so the new phone is likely to have one as well. The device is also reported to have a 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO display and a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup.

A huge increase in the price of OnePlus 13R is not expected. The OnePlus 12R was announced with a starting price of Rs 39,999, so the next generation is expected to be priced under Rs 45,000.
