OnePlus 14 Flat-Screen Flagship Smartphone Launch Details Revealed

Key Takeaways

1. The OnePlus 13 display is nice but lacks a matte finish and brightness compared to competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 9.
2. The trend of quad-curved screens may decline, with flat displays expected to become popular in future flagship smartphones, starting with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra.
3. The upcoming OnePlus 14 and other devices may feature LIPO technology for slimmer bezels and improved displays.
4. The next OnePlus flagship is anticipated to have a high-res AMOLED display with at least a 120Hz refresh rate and potentially better battery life.
5. Quad-curved displays are likely to remain in the market but may be found in less premium, mid-range devices in the future.

We found the display of the OnePlus 13 to be pretty nice in our review, even though it lacks the matte finish seen on its competitor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and doesn’t match the overall brightness of the Pixel 9. However, it seems like this feature might not stick around for its expected successor.

Changing Trends in Display

The quad-curved screen of the 13 is currently popular among top-tier Android phones, but this may not last, according to the well-informed leaker, Digital Chat Station.

The insider claims that the upcoming flat display, which is expected to be revealed with the Oppo Find X8 Ultra (which shares many traits with the 13), is set to take the lead in the next generation of flagship smartphones.

New Specs on the Horizon

This may affect the OnePlus 14 and devices from other manufacturers like the Xiaomi 16. The new display type is believed to use LIPO technology, which will allow for slimmer bezels.

It’s still anticipated that the next OnePlus flagship will feature a high-res AMOLED display with a refresh rate of no less than 120Hz. Moreover, it might even boast better battery life than the 6,000mAh capacity of the 13, thanks to new battery innovations from Oppo that could elevate the capacity to an impressive 7,000mAh while maintaining support for the OEM’s 100W SuperVOOC charging standard.

Future of Quad-Curved Screens

As for the quad-curved display, it is expected to remain in the smartphone market, though likely in less premium models. Mid-range devices, like the ones that might follow the Nord N30 5G (currently priced at $379.99 on Amazon), could incorporate this design in the future.
