The OnePlus 13 has just launched, making its debut on November 1. This device is among the first smartphones to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, which is anticipated to be featured in other flagship models, including the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Unique Features of OnePlus 13
OnePlus has sought to set its newest smartphone apart from competitors in various ways. For instance, the OnePlus 13 is powered by a 6,000 mAh Silicon Carbon (Si/C) battery, which offers an 11% increase in capacity compared to the OnePlus 12, which currently retails for $749.99 on Amazon. Additionally, the OnePlus 13 boasts an IP69 rating, a 4,500-nit AMOLED display, along with a collection of advanced cameras.
Early Success in China
These impressive features seem to have resonated well in China, where the OnePlus 13 is currently only available for official purchase. According to Lie Jie, OnePlus China's president, pre-orders surged to over 100,000 units within just 30 minutes of becoming available.
Future Prospects
It is yet unclear if this initial success will carry over into international markets when the OnePlus 13 becomes available worldwide. Unfortunately, OnePlus has not provided any specific timeline for this launch. Meanwhile, interested buyers can import the OnePlus 13 for around $799, with full specifications detailed in a separate article.
