The OnePlus 13 is all set to make its way to India soon, following its initial launch in China in October 2024. The global release of the flagship smartphone has been confirmed for January 2025. What makes this launch particularly exciting for global markets, including India, is that OnePlus will offer the same colour variants as those launched in China. This marks a significant departure from the OnePlus 12, which did not feature the white colour variant in the global market, despite it being available in China. With the OnePlus 13, the brand is introducing the blue variant to global markets for the first time, giving consumers more colour choices than ever before.
As for the specifications, the OnePlus 13 will offer the same high-end features seen in the Chinese model. The global variant will run on OxygenOS 15, the custom operating system developed by OnePlus for markets outside China, instead of the ColorOS found in the Chinese version. OxygenOS 15 promises an array of new AI-powered features and enhanced camera functionalities, allowing users to edit photos on the go with ease. OnePlus aims to provide a smooth and intuitive user experience while incorporating a host of new capabilities that leverage artificial intelligence.
At its core, the OnePlus 13 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset, the latest and most powerful processor from Qualcomm. This ensures a highly responsive and efficient performance, whether you’re gaming, multitasking, or using demanding applications. The smartphone will also feature a massive 6000mAh battery, designed to offer long-lasting power throughout the day.
For photography enthusiasts, the OnePlus 13 includes a triple-camera system, with all three cameras sporting 50MP sensors. The camera system has been co-developed with Hasselblad, a world-renowned camera brand, to ensure exceptional colour accuracy and detail in every shot. The device’s display is a large 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, offering stunning visuals with a peak brightness of 4500 nits, a typical brightness of 800 nits, and a resolution of 1440 x 3168 pixels. This makes it an ideal choice for media consumption and gaming, providing sharp and vibrant visuals.
In terms of storage, the Chinese version of the OnePlus 13 offers configurations with up to 1TB of internal storage and 24GB of RAM. However, it’s unlikely that such high-end variants will make it to the Indian market, as the OnePlus 12 was launched with a maximum of 512GB of storage in India. Nevertheless, the OnePlus 13 will still offer ample storage and memory options to cater to the needs of most users.
The device will also support impressive charging speeds, with a 100W fast-charging feature, 50W wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging, ensuring that your device charges quickly and efficiently. As the global launch date of January 2025 approaches, OnePlus enthusiasts in India are eagerly awaiting more details about pricing, availability, and specific configurations. With its powerful specs, high-quality display, and versatile camera system, the OnePlus 13 is poised to be a top contender in the flagship smartphone market in India.
