OnePlus is set to unveil the OnePlus 13 during a screen launch event on October 15, partnering with BOE, a Chinese display manufacturer. This conference will showcase a novel display that will be featured on the OP13. A promotional poster has been shared by the company, giving hints about the OP13's screen. Furthermore, tech blogger Cai Zuxuan, who is reportedly connected to OnePlus, mentioned that the advanced display along with a new processor will likely lead to an increase in price.

The OnePlus 13 boasts a DisplayMate A++ certified display. The brand states that its second-generation 2K Oriental Screen, also known as the BOE X2 display, has achieved the world’s first DisplayMate A++ certification, breaking 21 display records. The device is expected to come with a 6.82-inch BOE X2 8T LTPO panel featuring a micro-quad-curved design and ultra-thin bezels. It will provide a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Additionally, this model will be OnePlus’ first to include an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. The Oppo Find X8 Ultra, anticipated to launch in January 2025, will also utilize this new display. More details regarding the OnePlus 13 and its screen will likely emerge during the upcoming event in China.

Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset and Pricing Insights

Another significant feature of the OnePlus 13 is that it will be among the initial phones to incorporate Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
