The OnePlus 13 is likely to be unveiled in October, shortly after the introduction of the Snapdragon 8 Elite (or 8 Gen 4) chip. Recently, the device has been found on several certification sites such as Camera FV-5, TUV, and IMDA. This not only verifies various features of the phone but also hints at its soon-to-come launch.
Camera Features
From the information available in the Camera FV-5 listing, it appears that the phone is equipped with a 12.6MP primary camera, which is probably the 4-1 binned output from a rumored 50MP sensor. It features a focal length of 24.6mm, incorporates OIS, and has a 72.5-degree field of view. In binned mode, the sensor provides an equivalent pixel size of 2.0µm and has an exposure range from 1/12,801 up to 42.0 seconds. Previous speculations suggested it could utilize the 50MP Sony LYT 808 sensor, notable for its sizable 1/1.3-inch sensor.
Selfie Camera Speculations
Interestingly, the listing indicates a 16MP front-facing camera, contrasting earlier rumors that mentioned a 32MP sensor for selfies. The information suggests that the sensor has a binned resolution of 4MP, implying the real resolution to be 16MP. However, it might also be a 9-1 binned output from a 36MP sensor, which was previously cited with a 32MP resolution. This selfie camera has a 71.0-degree field of view and supports EIS stabilization, although it lacks autofocus, unlike the main camera.
Performance Insights
In terms of performance, the OnePlus 13 has been spotted on Geekbench, achieving single-core and multi-core scores of 3236 and 10049 respectively. These scores are higher than most Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 listings seen thus far. The device features a 6.8″ micro-curved 2K LTPO display utilizing the BOE X2 panel. It is expected to reach brightness levels of 1600 nits in direct sunlight (HBM) and 6000 nits while displaying HDR content. To support this display, the phone comes with a substantial 6,000mAh high-density silicon anode battery and offers 100W SUPERVOOC fast charging along with 50W magnetic wireless charging.
