    OnePlus 13 Camera Upgrades Announced with Sample Photos

    OnePlus is ready to launch its upcoming flagship smartphone soon. While we wait, the company has been revealing various details about the OnePlus 13, which seems to share much of its hardware with the new Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro. Just a few days ago, OnePlus confirmed the different color options that the latest flagship will come in.

    Camera Hardware Insights

    Now, OnePlus is focusing on the camera features of the device. Interestingly, the OnePlus 13 will continue using the Sony LYT-808 as its main camera, just like the OnePlus 12 (curr. $899.99 – 512 GB on Amazon). This means that the OnePlus 13 can take photos with its main sensor at a maximum of 50 MP, using a 1/1.4-inch optical format.

    New Sensor and Features

    On another note, OnePlus has introduced a new sensor for the periscope telephoto camera. While the company suggests that this update will enhance image quality, the telephoto camera will still provide 3x optical zoom with an f/2.6 aperture and a 50 MP maximum output, which is a drop from the 64 MP of the OnePlus 12.

    Additionally, OnePlus has replaced the 48 MP ultra-wide-angle camera from last year’s model with a new 50 MP sensor. This upgrade increases the field of view (FoV) from 114° to 120°. Allegedly, the OnePlus 13 will also be able to record 4K videos with Dolby Vision HDR on all its cameras, including the front camera.

    Hasselblad Features and Performance

    As expected, the OnePlus 13 will include Hasselblad camera modes. Also, it will be one of the first smartphones to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with up to 24 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, and a 6,000 mAh battery. If you check above, you can see some official camera sample shots. Although we can’t draw too many conclusions from these images since they might have been edited, they do appear detailed at first glance and show good HDR processing.

    OnePlus 13 Camera Samples: Stunning Motion Capture & Portraits

    OnePlus is preparing to unveil its flagship device, the OnePlus 13, on October 31st. Before the launch, the company released high-quality image samples that showcase the phone’s camera features. These images illustrate the phone’s ability to take sharp pictures of moving subjects and detailed portraits, showing OnePlus’ commitment to enhanced image processing.

    Capturing Fast Moments

    As per OnePlus, this smartphone can manage dynamic situations, snapping photos at an impressive speed of 1/10,000 of a second without any blur from motion. This was highlighted in a recent post on Weibo, indicating that users can take clear and crisp photos even in lively settings, like with pets or during sports games.

    Hasselblad Technology

    The OnePlus 13 includes "Hasselblad Master Images," offering realistic skin tones, textures, and well-balanced light and shadow in portrait images, showcasing the skill of Hasselblad’s camera tech. A closer look at the samples shows an excellent retention of details paired with bright yet natural colors.

    Low Light Performance

    However, the images released were captured in bright lighting, which minimizes the chances of motion blur, so we still need to see how the camera performs in low-light situations.

    The OnePlus 13 comes with a triple-camera setup, featuring three 50MP sensors. This setup consists of a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens, providing versatility and high detail for different photography modes.

    Design and Display Features

    The phone presents a stylish design, flaunting a flat display topped with micro-quad-curved glass and sleek, symmetrical bezels, as shown in an official video. It will be offered in various color options, including glossy black and white. A previous leak suggests that the OnePlus 13 has a 6.8-inch 2K BOE X2 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, boosting the viewing experience for images and videos.

    Performance Specs

    Inside, the OnePlus 13 is driven by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It features the Qualcomm Spectra Cognitive AI ISP, which enables real-time semantic segmentation to improve photo and video frames. This sophisticated ISP includes capabilities like real-time adjustments for skin tones and sky, helping achieve natural lighting and colors, even when the lighting is tricky.

    All in all, with its upgraded camera system, sleek design, and powerful processing capabilities, the OnePlus 13 seeks to provide a top-notch experience for those who love photography.

  • OnePlus 13 Beats Previous Model in Real-World Gaming Test

    OnePlus 13 Beats Previous Model in Real-World Gaming Test

    Digital Chat Station has reported that the next-generation OnePlus 13 is already in testing ahead of its expected launch on Hallowe’en 2024. This well-known leaker has shifted from just handling the device to putting it through rigorous tests with various demanding applications to assess its performance.

    Testing Against Competitors

    The OnePlus 13, identified by its Chinese model number PJZ110, was evaluated against its predecessor, the Ace 3 Pro (PJX110), which features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Additionally, the Vivo V2405DA – known as the X200 Pro Satellite Edition and powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 – was included in the comparison.

    Performance Insights

    In these tests, the OnePlus 13’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform showed the most significant improvement, achieving a smooth 121fps in Genshin Impact while consuming just 5.4W of power. Meanwhile, the X200 Pro demonstrated comparable results in certain situations, reaching 125fps/12.6W in the GFX Aztec benchmark, whereas the PJZ110 managed 120fps/13W.

    Energy Efficiency and Heat Management

    Despite these results, the OnePlus 13 was still recognized as the most power-efficient device in the evaluation. Concerns regarding the 8 Elite’s resemblance to the 888 model were alleviated, as it only felt "slightly warm" after gaming sessions. Its heat distribution appeared to be on par with both the competing MediaTek chip and its Snapdragon 8-series predecessor.

    Digital Chat Station shared these insights via Weibo.

  • OnePlus 13R Leaks: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 6500mAh Battery

    OnePlus 13R Leaks: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and 6500mAh Battery

    OnePlus is preparing for the launch of the OnePlus 13 in China, set for October 31. Following this, the OP13 is expected to hit the global market by January 2025. Recent information from 91mobiles Indonesia suggests that the company might also introduce the OnePlus 13R, which will be a budget-friendly flagship aimed at performance enthusiasts, alongside the more high-end OnePlus 13.

    SIRIM Certification for OnePlus 13R

    The OnePlus 13R has been spotted in the SIRIM certification database in Malaysia. Although the listing does not disclose any details about the device’s specifications, it does confirm the model number, which is CPH2645.

    The OnePlus 13R will follow the OnePlus 12R, which was powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Notably, the 12R was essentially a rebranded OnePlus Ace 2, which was launched exclusively in China. Thus, there is a strong possibility that the OnePlus 13R will be a rebranded version of the upcoming OnePlus Ace 3, expected to debut in China in December 2024.

    Expected Features of OnePlus Ace 3

    Reports indicate that the OnePlus Ace 3 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and is likely to feature a robust 6,500mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging. As a device focused on performance, it might not come with high-end camera capabilities. However, recent leaks suggest it could boast a 50-megapixel primary camera from the Sony IMX9 series, featuring a sizable sensor of 1/1.56 inches. There’s also a chance it will have a 50-megapixel telephoto camera.

    When it comes to the display, the OnePlus Ace 3 is anticipated to include an OLED panel sourced from BOE, supporting a resolution of 1.5K. In China, the device will operate on ColorOS 15 based on Android 15, while the global variant is expected to run on OxygenOS 15.

    New Wood-Effect OnePlus 100W Power Bank Now Available for Pre-Order

    OnePlus is set to unveil its flagship OnePlus 13 smartphone on October 31 in China. Before this event, the company has added a new variant to its 100W SuperVOOC power bank range, showcasing a dark brown wood effect finish. Previously, the accessory was available in green/white and silver/white options, and it can now be pre-ordered through Oppo’s online store in China.

    Features and Specifications

    Although the product listing lacks extensive details, it is anticipated that the new wood-effect version will boast similar features as earlier models. This includes a maximum output of 100W, dual USB-A and USB-C ports, compatibility with multiple charging protocols, and a 12,000mAh battery capacity. Additionally, it supports 45W fast charging for laptops that are compatible and can recharge itself from 1% to 100% in just 90 minutes due to its 45W high-speed self-charging capability. The power bank also has a dynamic breathing light that shows the current power level with a single click, while a double click engages a low current mode, designed to charge smaller devices such as smartwatches and headphones safely.

    Pricing & Availability

    The new power bank is priced at 9,999 yuan (~$1,406) on Oppo Mall, but this price is likely a placeholder, with the final retail price possibly varying. The earlier color variants are offered at 299 yuan (around $41 USD).

    In other updates, OnePlus has rolled out the OnePlus Magnetic Turbine, a magnetic wireless charger capable of providing up to 50W AirVOOC charging. It comes in a stylish white design with a red accent and is compatible with iPhones. Built with a fan and a robust cooling system, it effectively manages heat. This launch comes just before Oppo’s upcoming magnetic charger, which is set to be released alongside the Find X8 series on October 24.

  • OnePlus 13 Expected to Weigh Less Than iPhone 16 Pro Max

    OnePlus 13 Expected to Weigh Less Than iPhone 16 Pro Max

    OnePlus is said to be making a strong return to the flagship market with the new 13 model. The smartphone has undergone a redesign that aims to be more upscale and polished than ever, even when compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, as per reliable leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS).

    Weight and Design Details

    The company has managed to reduce the weight of the OnePlus 13 to only 210 grams (g) for its "silk" glass color options, while the vegan leather versions weigh 213g. In contrast, the iPhone 16 Pro Max comes in at a heftier 227g.

    OnePlus is moving away from its usual curved design with the 13. However, DCS claims that it will still outshine the iPhone in terms of how it feels in the hand, thanks to gently chamfered edges similar to those found on the OPPO Find X8 Pro. The titanium frame of the 16 Pro Max might still cause some discomfort when held for long periods.

    Thickness Comparison

    The thickness of the OnePlus 13’s glass and vegan leather versions has been reported to be 8.5 millimeters (mm) and 8.8mm, respectively, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is slightly thinner at 8.3mm.

    This leads to the possibility that if the OnePlus 13 is any longer or wider than its Apple counterpart, it could be a touch less compact. Nevertheless, the faster wireless charging capabilities might offset this slight disadvantage.
