    OnePlus 13 May Skip Wireless Charging, Says Reputable Tipster

    OnePlus 13 is the company's forthcoming flagship smartphone. Although it will experience a performance enhancement with the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, there might be a reduction in the charging capabilities, according to recent leaks.

    Specifications and Battery Life

    Tipster Digital Chat Station recently disclosed on Weibo that the OnePlus 13 will incorporate a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, a 6000mAh battery, and 100W fast charging support. The previous model, the OnePlus 12, has a 5000mAh battery, making the increase in capacity quite substantial, while the wired charging speed remains constant. However, the tipster suggested that the OnePlus 13 might lack wireless charging capabilities.

    Impact on Wireless Charging

    As noted by Notebookcheck, OnePlus markets the OnePlus 12 as the “Fastest Wireless Charging” flagship Android smartphone on Amazon.com. The potential absence of this feature in the OnePlus 13 may disappoint users. The tipster did not elaborate on why OnePlus might exclude the wireless charging feature. However, it could be attributed to the larger 6000mAh battery, which adds considerable weight and occupies more space inside the phone, likely making it challenging to fit the magnetic coil necessary for wireless charging.

    Display and Launch Date

    Nonetheless, this wouldn't be the first time OnePlus has omitted wireless charging in a flagship model. The company did the same with the OnePlus 11, and this trend might continue with its 2025 flagship.

    The same tipster also previously revealed that the phone will sport a 6.8-inch 2K LTPO display with a micro-curved design and will include an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner for biometrics. The smartphone is rumored to debut sometime in November or December and will be among the first to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.

    OnePlus 13 to Debut with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Chip

    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.

  • OnePlus 13 Mockup: Company Design Backward Trend

    OnePlus 13 Mockup: Company Design Backward Trend

    OnePlus is anticipated to unveil its upcoming flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 13, later this year. Speculation has been circulating about a fresh design for the device, although specific details have been scarce up to this point.

    Design Changes Unveiled

    Today marks a turning point as a mockup render of the OnePlus 13 has appeared on Weibo, revealing alterations to the design, particularly at the back.

    OnePlus has traditionally favored a circular and hinge-style camera setup for its premium phones. However, the leaked renders indicate a departure from this norm, showcasing the OnePlus 13 with a rectangular camera island on its rear.

    Notable Design Shifts

    While the new design deviates from its predecessor, some observers have drawn parallels to the 2022 OnePlus 10 Pro. The primary distinction lies in the fact that the camera module of the OnePlus 13 does not seamlessly integrate with the metal frame, resulting in a slight elevation.

    Camera Setup and Features

    The rectangular module on the OnePlus 13 accommodates a triple-camera system along with a ring-shaped LED light. Positioned at the center of the island is a Hasselblad logo, adding a touch of branding to the device.

    On the right side of the phone, familiar placements of the power and volume buttons are evident, while the left frame likely hosts the signature OnePlus alert slider.

    It’s essential to bear in mind that the render is merely a speculative representation, and the final design of the OnePlus 13 could differ significantly. Therefore, it is advisable to approach this leak with caution.

    Expected Specifications

    In terms of specifications, rumors suggest that the smartphone will feature a 6.8-inch OLED LTPO display with a 2K resolution, possibly incorporating an in-display fingerprint scanner. Powering the device is expected to be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset.

    Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 phone set for mid-October release

    Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship mobile processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, is anticipated to be released this autumn. Recent leaks have cast doubt on previous speculations regarding its capabilities and performance.

    Uncertainty Surrounding Early Benchmarks

    A leak from Digital Chat Station proposes that the benchmarks leaked earlier were based on preliminary engineering samples of the 8 Gen 4 operating at lower frequencies. Such early versions typically run at reduced speeds for stability assessment purposes.

    Revised Architecture Details

    New information from the same source indicates that the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 features a “2+6” core configuration. The “2” likely denotes two high-performance cores with clock speeds ranging from 3.6 GHz to 4.0 GHz. The remaining “6” cores are presumably efficiency cores, although specifics on their clock speeds were not disclosed. The chip is purported to achieve scores of approximately 2,700 points in single-core tests and 10,000 points in multi-core tests on Geekbench 6.

    Impending Launch and Smartphone Debuts

    According to the leak, a smartphone powered by the new chip is expected to debut in mid-October. Xiaomi and OnePlus are traditionally among the first to adopt Qualcomm’s latest premium processors, with Xiaomi’s rumored Xiaomi 15 series likely being the initial phone to showcase the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. OnePlus is also set to feature the chip in its upcoming flagship, the OnePlus 13, which may introduce a redesigned camera system, potentially deviating from the brand’s typical camera layout.

    Oneplus set to reveal new Oneplus 13 featuring a distinctive design

    Many brands have already started testing smartphones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and we will start seeing models with the new processor in Q4 2024. But brands are not only limited to testing high-performance chips, they are also making design changes to their products. Oneplus pays attention to design this time on the new Oneplus 13.

    Oneplus is testing the new Oneplus 13

    Digital Chat Station reports that Oneplus is internally testing Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Prototype products and that the brand will switch to a different design language.

    That’s because the prototype Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 device being tested is rumored to be missing the stainless steel hinge and circular Deco design in the top left corner. We don’t know how true this is. Of course, Oneplus could make some changes to the new Oneplus 13. We will see in the future whether the information is true or not.

    Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 Oneplus Prototype Design

    Referring to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the new chip is said to perform close to Apple’s M3 chip. It is curious what the 8 Gen 4 can do, which is promised to offer a better experience compared to the A16 SOC in the iPhone 16 series.

    Although the Geekbench 6 results leaked a few weeks ago indicate a perfect year for the Android side, it will take time before we know everything. Other manufacturers like Xiaomi are also testing Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 smartphones. If the information is correct, users should look forward to new Android phones. Like all users, we are looking forward to Q4 2024.
