If you felt like there wasn’t much excitement around the OnePlus 13 earlier this month, that certainly seems to have changed in recent weeks thanks to a plethora of new leaks that essentially attempted to leave no question unanswered ahead of the phone’s fast-approaching announcement.

The rear-facing cameras may seem completely unchanged at first glance, but if you look closely you’ll no doubt notice that the way they’re connected to the phone’s frame has been overhauled… arguably for the better. The edges are generally sharper and flatter (which also seems like a positive change), and perhaps most noticeably, the rear panel finish switches from matte to textured glass and… leatherette.
All in all, we’re clearly looking at a distinctive Android super-flagship that’s almost guaranteed to take the world’s largest smartphone market by storm very soon, with many more markets to follow… sometime in late 2024 or early 2025.
About OnePlus 13
In case you’re wondering, yes, I think there’s a chance this bad boy will be on sale in the US, Europe and India by Christmas. That would obviously be an unprecedented and very unorthodox move by the company, but considering that the OnePlus 12 was unveiled in China in December 2023 and expanded globally the following month OnePlus 13 A Western release at the end of November or beginning of December clearly cannot be ruled out.
After all, it would certainly be a shame to make the world wait another two or three months for a super phone that is expected to offer the following super specs:
- 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz and brightness up to 5000 nits;
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 or Snapdragon 8 Elite processor;
- Up to 24 GB RAM;
- Up to 1TB storage space;
- 6,000 mAh battery;
- Support 100W wired charging;
- 50W wireless charging technology;
- 50 + 50 + 50 MP triple rear camera system;
