OnePlus 13, 13R launch expected soon: Here's everything you need to know

OnePlus 13R: OnePlus 13R is expected to be launched in India in January. According to reports, the OnePlus 13R will be the rebranded version of the Ace 5 smartphone that the company is expected to launch next month in China. Here are some of the expected features.

The OnePlus 13R is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and is likely to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO display.

The smartphone may have a triple-camera setup at the rear with a primary camera of 50MP. It is likely to be accompanied by 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lenses - just like the last generation of the smartphone. There are rumours that the device can come with a 6,500mAh battery and may support 100W fast charging. 

The OnePlus 13R is expected to be launched in India and other regions alongside the flagship OnePlus 13 in January 2025.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13 is expected to come with a 6.82-inch display with QHD+ resolution along with an adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits.

Moreover, the device will run on OxygenOS 15 and based on the previous version, the smartphone may get 4 years of major Android OS support and 5 years of security patches. In addition, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor offers greater convenience and reliability compared to the optical fingerprint scanner.

In terms of device protection, the upcoming flagship will get IP68 and IP69 ratings. While the former implies the device can be submerged in water up to 1.5 metres for up to 30 minutes, the latter means that the smartphone can withstand high-pressure water jets and steam cleaning. 

OnePlus 13 is expected to come with up to 24GB RAM and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. The base variant will likely come with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and can carry a price tag of around Rs 55,000 60,000. The top-spec variant, on the other hand, can command a price of Rs 85,000.
