Digital Chat Station has reported that the next-generation OnePlus 13 is already in testing ahead of its expected launch on Hallowe'en 2024. This well-known leaker has shifted from just handling the device to putting it through rigorous tests with various demanding applications to assess its performance.
Testing Against Competitors
The OnePlus 13, identified by its Chinese model number PJZ110, was evaluated against its predecessor, the Ace 3 Pro (PJX110), which features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Additionally, the Vivo V2405DA - known as the X200 Pro Satellite Edition and powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 - was included in the comparison.
Performance Insights
In these tests, the OnePlus 13's Snapdragon 8 Elite platform showed the most significant improvement, achieving a smooth 121fps in Genshin Impact while consuming just 5.4W of power. Meanwhile, the X200 Pro demonstrated comparable results in certain situations, reaching 125fps/12.6W in the GFX Aztec benchmark, whereas the PJZ110 managed 120fps/13W.
Energy Efficiency and Heat Management
Despite these results, the OnePlus 13 was still recognized as the most power-efficient device in the evaluation. Concerns regarding the 8 Elite’s resemblance to the 888 model were alleviated, as it only felt "slightly warm" after gaming sessions. Its heat distribution appeared to be on par with both the competing MediaTek chip and its Snapdragon 8-series predecessor.
