OnePlus has not yet announced the global release of its new Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship. However, reports indicate that the OnePlus 13 is gaining attention in China. The device was released with a well-designed Hasselblad camera system but initially lacked the macro capability, which has now been added with the latest software update.
Enhanced Photography Options
With the introduction of the "macro close-up" feature, the OnePlus 13 has become more flexible for users interested in smartphone photography. The camera system includes a 50 MP Sony LYT-808 primary camera on the back, along with a 50 MP periscope telephoto lens from Sony LYT-600 and an ultrawide lens from Samsung S5KJN5. For selfies, there is a 32 MP front-facing camera.
Reviews so far indicate that the camera performance of the OnePlus 13 surpasses that of earlier models. Furthermore, this Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship incorporates the same Hasselblad Master Imaging algorithm found in the Find X8 series, aiming to provide superior photo quality.
Anticipated Global Launch and Pricing
OnePlus has not disclosed information regarding the global launch yet, but it is anticipated to occur in early 2025. There is speculation that the phone may be released alongside the OnePlus 13R, which is expected to be a rebrand of the Ace 5, set to debut in China this December. Pricing details remain unconfirmed, but it is expected that the Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship will launch internationally at a higher starting price compared to its predecessor, which is currently available on Amazon.
