With the gradual appearance of flagship models from most mainstream mobile phone manufacturers this year, as well as the release of a large number of new mid-range models, it also means that the next wave of new phone launches will officially kick off in the fall as usual. After rumors previously exposed information about the OnePlus 13, a new model in OnePlus's digital series, recent sources have also revealed further details about the hardware configuration of this model.
First, with the release of Qualcomm's new flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, approaching, there have already been numerous leaks about the first batch of devices equipped with it.
Recently, a blogger revealed that the OnePlus 13's "launch event is also advanced, tentatively scheduled for late October to early November, just before Singles' Day, with a very tight timeline."
It is reported that the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 will be based on TSMC's 3nm process and adopt Qualcomm's self-developed Nuvia CPU architecture, with a CPU clock speed exceeding 4 GHz. The price is expected to increase by 25-30% compared to the current Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor and will be unveiled at the Snapdragon Summit from October 21st to 23rd.
It can be inferred from this that OnePlus may be advancing the launch event to seize market share, releasing the phone shortly after the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 chip becomes available.
Additionally, according to the leaked information, the second-generation Dongfang screen on the OnePlus 13, which will be the first to feature it, adopts a full-depth micro-curved design with a resolution of 2K.
Compared to the previous curved screen, the equal-depth micro-curved screen combines the advantages of both straight and curved screens. Its form is closer to a straight screen, offering the same edge touch protection and display consistency as a straight screen. At the same time, it retains the comfortable grip of a curved screen, providing a better visual aesthetic and grip comfort than other screens.
Furthermore, this screen supports 8T LTPO and adopts a center-punched hole design. It is rumored that the OPPO Find X8 Ultra will also use this screen in the future.
In terms of protection, the OnePlus 13 achieves IP68/69 dust and water resistance, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to a certain depth for up to 30 minutes without damage and effectively block dust intrusion. For unlocking, the OnePlus 13 employs advanced single-point ultrasonic fingerprint technology, which scans fingerprints using sound waves to create a 3D model, enabling faster and more accurate unlocking.
The OnePlus 13 also excels in battery life, equipped with a large-capacity silicon anode high-density battery exceeding 6000mAh and potentially incorporating OnePlus's self-developed Glacier Battery technology. In terms of photography, the OnePlus 13 adopts a familial circular module design and is equipped with three main cameras: an LYT808 main camera, an IMX882 ultra-wide-angle lens, and an IMX882 3X periscope lens.
Regarding pricing, the 12GB+256GB version of the OnePlus 13 is expected to start at 4,299 yuan, while the 16GB+512GB version will retail for 4,799 yuan. Compared to the previous generation OnePlus 12, the OnePlus 13 offers a comprehensive upgrade in specifications while maintaining the same price point.
It is worth mentioning that there are rumors that OnePlus is currently testing a 24GB+1TB storage option, but whether it will be included in the final product remains to be seen until the official launch.
In summary, the OnePlus 13 focuses on performance, quality, and battery life, being among the first to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor. The phone's camera design has been revised, and it sports a 2K LTPO equal-depth micro-curved screen. The currently known specifications of the device are as follows:
Performance: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor
Screen: 2K LTPO equal-depth micro-curved screen
Battery: 6000mAh battery + 100W wired charging + 50W wireless charging
Camera: Revised camera design with a triple rear camera setup, featuring a 50MP LYT808 main camera, a 50MP IMX882 ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50MP IMX882 3X periscope lens.
Others: 0916T motor
