The OnePlus 13 has made quite a splash with its recent release in China, but now chatter about its lower-cost counterpart, the OnePlus 13R, is starting to heat up. Recently, the device was listed on the Global Certification Forum (GCF) website, suggesting that it may be launched soon.
GCF Listing Reveals Details
The model number CPH2645 for the OnePlus 13R was uncovered by MySmartPrice through the GCF listing. This entry also confirms that the phone will support various connectivity options, such as 2G GSM, 3G WCDMA, 4G LTE (covering both FDD and TDD), and 5G.
The 5G capabilities include numerous bands—n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n20, n28, n38, n40, n48, n66, n77, and n78—guaranteeing it works with most networks worldwide.
Expected Features of OnePlus 13R
While further specifics about the OnePlus 13R remain unclear, we can speculate based on rumors and previous models. It's anticipated that the OnePlus 13R will come with a 1.5K resolution screen, but the exact dimensions are still not known. Considering that the OnePlus 12R had a 6.78-inch display, it’s reasonable to expect a similar size for this new model.
Rumors also suggest that the OnePlus 13R may be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The camera setup is expected to include a 50MP Sony IMX906 as the main sensor, alongside a 50MP Samsung JN1 telephoto lens, marking an improvement over the OnePlus 12R's 50MP Sony IMX890 main camera, which was paired with a lower-quality ultra-wide and macro sensor.
Battery and Rebranding Speculations
Moreover, the OnePlus 13R might house a bigger 6,000mAh battery, an upgrade from the 5,500mAh battery in the OnePlus 12R. There’s also a buzz that the OnePlus 13R could actually be a rebranded version of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 5, which is set to be unveiled in China before the year wraps up. This aligns with OnePlus's trend of launching R-series phones as rebranded versions of their Ace series.
With its certification from GCF, it seems likely that the OnePlus 13R will soon get a global rollout. We'll be sure to keep you informed as new information becomes available.
