Next month, Vivo and Oppo are set to become the first companies to introduce new flagship smartphones in China. They are anticipated to present the Dimensity 9400-powered X200 lineup and the Find X8 series. Later in the same month, likely in the fourth week, Xiaomi is expected to unveil the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro, which will be the first flagship phones powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. It is also rumored that OnePlus 13 will launch by the end of October, with a new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station suggesting that it will come in a 24GB RAM variant.
OnePlus 13 Featuring 24GB RAM Variant
According to the tipster, OnePlus is leading the way in adopting large memory sizes, making the OnePlus 13 the only flagship in the first wave to offer 24 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. This suggests that other Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagships, such as the Xiaomi 15 Pro, iQOO 13, and Honor Magic 7 Pro, may not feature a 24GB RAM option. DCS believes that the 24GB variant of the OnePlus 13 will carry a high price point. This news aligns with the OnePlus 12, which launched in December 2023 and was available in a 24GB + 1TB version for 5,799 Yuan (~$820). The OnePlus 13, expected to have multiple upgrades, including the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, might be priced between 6,000 Yuan and 6,500 Yuan for the 24GB RAM version.
Rumored Specifications of OnePlus 13
Reports suggest that the OnePlus 13 will sport a 6.8-inch OLED BT LTPO BOE X2 display with a quad-micro-curved design, offering a remarkable 2K resolution (3168 x 1440p) and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor for easy unlocking.
The front-facing camera is expected to include a 32-megapixel sensor, while the rear camera setup will consist of a 50-megapixel LYT-808 main sensor with OIS, a 50-megapixel LYT-600 ultra-wide sensor, and a 50-megapixel LYT-600 3X periscope telephoto lens. Moreover, the device will incorporate Hasselblad optimizations to enhance photography quality.
The OnePlus 13 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, paired with options of 16 GB or 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage. It will feature a 6,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. For users in China, the device will run ColorOS 15, based on Android 15.
