OnePlus 13: Everything You Need To Know! | Transcript:

it is about that time when the Qualcomm Snapdragon Summit is already over and along with it we know a lot of things just snowball then it becomes this competition of which phone will be first with the new chip and for the longest time OnePlus is one of the major players the OnePlus 12 proved to be hands down one of the best smartphones of 2024 and all without breaking the bank then we had the OnePlus 12r which proved the year old specs should be priced for a broader demographic it's really left a ton of us curious as to what to expect for later 2024 early 2025 and it's about that time I'm how with pocket now and it's time for another Deep dive this time OnePlus 13 if you're asking yourself what'll

happen with the OnePlus 13r and even the OnePlus open 2 let's just say that's uh all story for another video as uh right now we have a lot of ground to cover just with the flagship when it comes to design the OnePlus 13 seems pretty familiar at least on these images I mean it looks a lot like the OnePlus 12 but uh with some small tweaks one of the main changes is the placement of the flashh and the repositioning of the Hasselblad H logo which now stands out more on the back of the phone the back also has the sort of grainy texture giving it more of a unique look compared to other smartphones and unlike recent OnePlus models that feature curved edges this one goes back to Flat metal edges

all this being said though we did he of some probable major changes from other sources so just keep this Leak with a grain of salt I mean hey this could just be an image leaked of the OnePlus 13r for all we know now one of the more interesting rumors about the OnePlus 13's design is its possibility of debuting with a micro quad curve panel this means that the phone screen should have a gentle curve on all four sides creating a more immersive edge-free experience however this uh wouldn't be an extreme waterfall display as we saw from Huawei doing the same thing where the screen curves sharply over the edges instead it would uh have more subtle curves which might strike a balance

between Aesthetics and practicality digital chat station recently added more details about the screen suggesting that the OnePlus 13 might feature a straight screen with a micro curved glass cover design U this would imply that uh while the display itself remains flat the glass covering the screen would have slight curves on all four edges this design Choice could give the phone a more symmetrical and seamless look with almost no visible bezels making the display stand out a bit more let's just say if this is true the OnePlus 13 might offer one of the most attractive designs of its class though yeah let's wait on the implementation OnePlus China president Lee G Lewis and sorry if I

butcher your name gave us another sneak peak when he shared an image on September 30th that appears to show the OnePlus 13 screen though not the phone itself he confirmed that this was boe's second generation screen which should offer better performance compared to the OnePlus 12 display this new panel is expected to deliver improvements and brightness better eye protection and more vibrant colors thanks to advancements and Bo technology now as for the specs on the screen we hear 6.8 in diagonal 2K resolution ltpo and I'm sure we'll get some crazy refresh rate as well when it comes to Hardware the OnePlus 13 is expected to follow on the footsteps of his predecessor by featuring the latest and most powerful

Snapdragon chipset it is now confirmed that it will sport the Snapdragon 8 Elite that just got announced a few days ago and just as a reminder this new chip brings a second generation oryan CPU that hints to this being the most powerful chip out there even outperforming Apple's a18 Pro the latest chip is manufactured on tsmc's 3 nanom n3e process which offers a significant performance upgrade make sure you watch our separate Deep dive on qual comp's new chip to learn more about it spefic specifications Now battery life and charging speeds have always been a major OnePlus offering as well and it seems that the OnePlus 13 will be no exception according to previous leaks from yogish prar the phone will have a 5400 mAh

battery with 100 wat charging similar to the OnePlus 12 but that being said digital chat station has hinted to the possibility of this OnePlus 13 skipping wireless charging in favor of packing a larger 6,000 mAh battery which would offer even longer battery life though hold it right there don't just worry updates to that rumor claim that we might actually get those 6,000 milliamp hours in addition to 50 wat wireless charging which is insane heck we even hear 6500 Mah hours at this point so stay tuned now as for the camera system early rumors suggested the OnePlus 13 should feature the same camera sensors of the OnePlus 12 which was a 50 megap main 64 megapixel 3x periscopic camera

and 48 megapix ultrawide but newer leaks H to all three cameras of this new OnePlus 13 being upgraded to a 50 megapixel larger sensor set just like we get on the Oppo fex series I guess and we even hear of the Sony IMX 882 attached to the project so we'll see how that goes now in addition to the hardware improvements OnePlus is also likely to introduce its own AI powered features both Oppo and OnePlus have announced that Google's AI powered Gemini model will be integrated into their phone in later 2024 even if uh yeah Gemini still need some work last but not least let's talk about pricing and availability OnePlus has been inconsistent with its pricing strategy in recent years the OnePlus 12 was

priced similar to the base model of the Galaxy s24 so it's possible that the OnePlus 13 will be priced around the same range it's really hard to predict with these new rumors of this phone being far more than an iteration particularly when it comes to materials Now launch is expected earlier than expected By the Way digital chat station on WBO suggested that it will happen before China's Single Day Festival on November 11th 2024 singles day is the largest shopping event in China making it pretty logical and then a global launch probably around December 2024 early 2025 but uh we'll see how things play out as uh yeah things could change over time to conclude let's just say

this is going to be a pretty interesting year chips are getting more powerful and smartphones are really betting their guns on added compute power to push boundaries of what a phone can do this OnePlus Flagship has spent most of its lifespan giving people more for their money so I'm just curious to see what will end up playing out and if we're getting a more affordable R variant along with an open which I would really like only time will tell let me know what you think about these rumors in the comments down below and while you're at it follow us on social media and subscribe to our channel for more videos like this one and also follow me on my personal handles to see me want to
