OnePlus has officially started accepting pre-orders for its upcoming OnePlus 13 in China, offering a sneak peek at the phone’s redesigned back panel through a teaser. However, fans don’t need to wait until the official launch to catch a glimpse of the new device, as the OnePlus 13 has already been spotted in real-world settings.
Earlier today, participants at the Peacekeeper Elite 2024 event shared images on Weibo, giving the public an early look at the OnePlus 13, as reported by Notebookcheck. The photos revealed several color variants of the device, showcasing its sleek design and updated aesthetic. The OnePlus 13 appears in three different finishes: the familiar black variant seen in earlier leaks, a striking dual-tone model with a blue back panel and a white camera island, and a sophisticated white version with a silver frame.
Each of these models prominently features the Hasselblad logo next to the camera module, emphasizing the ongoing collaboration between the two companies for enhanced photography capabilities. The camera island itself is distinct, separated by a sleek silver band running across its width, adding a premium touch to the overall design. Additionally, the OnePlus logo is centered on the back panel, further reinforcing the device’s clean, minimalist look.
The official teaser image from OnePlus corroborates several of these design elements, confirming that the OnePlus 13 will indeed sport this refined new look. As for what lies under the hood, OnePlus has already dropped some hints about the phone’s impressive hardware. The device is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, delivering significant performance enhancements. It will also support 50W wireless charging, ensuring quick power-ups without needing a cable, and the display will feature a unique local high refresh rate support for an even smoother visual experience.
Rumors suggest that the OnePlus 13 could also come equipped with a massive 6,000mAh battery, providing extended usage time, along with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader for faster and more secure biometric authentication.
While the phone is set to launch in China later this month, those in the US may have to wait a bit longer. The OnePlus 13 is expected to make its way to the US market sometime early next year, giving global fans plenty of time to look forward to its official release.
