According to a recent tip from Digital Chat Station (DCS), OnePlus is set to enhance performance, battery life, and camera capabilities in its upcoming flagship model.
DCS indicates that the OnePlus 13 may be among the first smartphones to feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. While the Xiaomi 15 series is anticipated to be the initial release with this new SoC, the OnePlus 13 could follow closely behind.
New Battery and Sensor Features
The OnePlus 13 is rumored to include a new single-point ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and advanced silicon anode battery technology. DCS hints at a “huge capacity” battery, suggesting it will exceed the capacity of the OnePlus 12.
Display and Camera Enhancements
Leaks also suggest that the phone will maintain a large display, potentially a 6.8-inch 2K LTPO OLED panel with a slight curve. The camera system is expected to see an upgrade too. Although specific details are scarce, DCS mentions a triple-camera setup with an improved periscope lens.
In response to a user query about an IP68 rating, the tipster mentioned that while it's not confirmed, waterproof tests "have been done."
Additional Flagship Rumors
Besides the OnePlus 13, there are whispers that OnePlus might release another flagship phone in the Chinese market this year—the Ace 3 Pro. This model is speculated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and will compete with devices like the Realme GT 6 and the forthcoming Redmi K70 Ultra.
As the official launch is still several months away, more information about the OnePlus 13 and the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to surface in the coming weeks.
