OnePlus 13 Expected to Launch in October with Major Upgrades

The OnePlus 13 is tipped to launch as early as next month. Right now, it seems the OnePlus 13 could launch in October after strong rumors about its impending arrival. Earlier this month, Jie teased the upcoming second-generation BOE X-series (BOE X2) display on Weibo. The OnePlus 12 was one of the first phones with a BOE X-series screen, and Jie said in his recent post about the x2 panel that we might see it on next month’s OnePlus 13.

In fact, the company might even tease its flagship in October and release it later this year. However, nothing has been officially confirmed, so we may need to wait a few days or weeks for more concrete information. The BOE X2 panel will likely operate at 2K resolution, similar to the OnePlus 12.

According to leaks, there will be major upgrades for the OnePlus 13. It is rumored to come with an all-new flagship chipset, a better camera system, a larger battery, and an IP rating as good as the rest of the lineup mimicking last year’s design alongside software support extension and fingerprint scanner enhancement. The OnePlus 13 is expected to come with a 6.8-inch micro-curved display with 2K resolution, using LTPO technology for better battery efficiency.

This setup closely mirrors that of the OnePlus 12, suggesting only minor changes in the display. It is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC from Qualcomm. Expect camera improvements and a multi-focal system with periscope telephoto that would allow for even more zoom. The OnePlus 13 is expected to have a triple camera setup, featuring a 50MP primary sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens.

Design leaks are inconsistent, with some suggesting significant changes and others minimal updates. However, it is expected to retain the circular camera module from the current model. Additionally, the rumored introduction of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, capable of working even with oily or dirty fingers, would be a notable upgrade over the optical sensor used in its predecessor.
