OnePlus officially launched the OnePlus 13 on Thursday in China, offering a sleek design from its predecessor, the OnePlus 12.
The biggest upgrade is its water-resistance capabilities, which now feature IP68 and IP69 ratings—a capability that has been absent since the carrier-exclusive OnePlus 10 Pro. This durability enhancement is expected to apply to both carrier-tied and unlocked versions.
OnePlus 13 specifications
OnePlus 13 is powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and packed with a 6,000mAh battery, the OnePlus 13 is ready to compete with the best “Android phones” in 2025.
With “magnetic wireless charging” through optional cases and a collection of magnetic accessories like a 100W power bank and a 50W wireless charger, OnePlus is making charging easier and more versatile.
The phone supports fast 100W wired charging and delivers up to 1.96 days of battery life.
OnePlus 13 display features
OnePlus has also enhanced the “display experience” with a 6.82-inch QHD+ 120Hz OLED screen featuring an impressive 1,600 nits of brightness in high brightness mode and up to 4,500 nits peak brightness.
OnePlus 13 camera features
The “camera system” on the OnePlus 13 is designed for performance, carrying Hasselblad branding and featuring the 50MP LYT-808 main camera.
OnePlus has replaced the previous model’s 64MP 3x and 48MP ultrawide cameras with two 50MP shooters for improved quality and stabilisation.
The OnePlus 13 supports 4K video at 60fps, Dolby Vision, and advanced modes for improved motion capture and Live Photos.
OnePlus 13 price
The OnePlus 13 is available in four configurations, starting at $675 (CNY 4,799) for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, scaling up to $745 (CNY 5,299) for 12GB/512GB, $815 (CNY 5,799) for 16GB/512GB, and topping out at $885 (CNY 6,299) for 24GB RAM and 1TB storage.
