According to previous reports, Qualcomm's new flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, is expected to be released earlier this October, and the launch schedule for related devices will also be advanced accordingly. Multiple previous reports have indicated that the new OnePlus 13 series will be among the first to adopt this platform, which also means that the new phone could be unveiled as early as October. As the release date approaches, leaks about the new phone are becoming increasingly frequent. The latest news comes from a tech blogger who has shared some detailed specifications of the device.

Recently, a tech blogger exposed the interface of the OnePlus 13 running ColorOS 15, which may support Apple AirDrop.

As seen in the image, ColorOS 15 supports file transfer with Apple devices, including Live Photos, videos, documents, and more.

Previously, OPPO joined the File Transfer Alliance, enabling file sharing across multiple brands of smartphones. The alliance uses the "Mobile Peer-to-Peer Fast Transfer Protocol," which is based on WiFi P2P technology for file transmission, Bluetooth for device discovery, and Wi-Fi for data transmission. Supporting file transfer with Apple devices will further enhance the interoperability experience between iOS and Android.

Furthermore, news about the next-generation flagship phones from various manufacturers has been pouring in, showcasing their strengths in design, functionality, and battery life. Among these new devices, the OnePlus 13 stands out as the only one equipped with 24GB LPDDR5X RAM, making it a unique presence in the industry, according to a tech blogger's exposure.

OnePlus has always been at the forefront of offering large RAM capacities. Even with the OnePlus Ace2 Pro, it introduced a version with 24GB of RAM, providing an exceptional daily usage and gaming experience. Therefore, it is not surprising that rumors suggest the OnePlus 13, among the first batch of new flagship phones this year, will also come with 24GB of RAM.

The OnePlus 13 not only excels in design, performance, and photography but also uniquely features 24GB LPDDR5X RAM, making it the center of attention in the industry.

LPDDR5X RAM is the latest memory standard, offering faster transfer speeds, lower power consumption, and better compatibility compared to its predecessor, LPDDR5. This advanced memory technology significantly enhances the overall performance of the phone.

Regarding the display, OnePlus has confirmed that it will be the first to launch the second-generation "Dongfang Screen." However, there is some confusion regarding this claim. Technically, the "Dongfang Screen" is a joint development between OnePlus and BOE, and only OnePlus uses it in the industry, so it's not truly a "first launch." Similarly, Huawei would not claim to be the first to launch its own Kirin chips. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this screen is essentially a joint development between OPPO and BOE, used by OPPO, OnePlus, and realme, albeit under different names. For instance, realme uses a screen with identical technology to the "Dongfang Screen" but names it the "Wushuang Screen."

Incidentally, in 2023, OnePlus and BOE collaborated to create the top-tier domestic 2K screen, the "Dongfang Screen," which achieved multiple industry firsts in display quality, eye protection, and smoothness. It was also the first domestic 2K screen to receive the DisplayMate A+ rating, offering an unparalleled viewing experience.

It's worth mentioning that a tech blogger recently exposed the benchmark scores of the OnePlus 13. In the Geekbench 6 CPU benchmark test, the device scored 3,236 points in the single-core test and 10,049 points in the multi-core test, surpassing the Apple iPhone 16, which scored 3,114 points in single-core and 6,666 points in multi-core.

Judging from the benchmark screenshots, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 adopts a 2+6 core configuration with a maximum clock speed of 4.32GHz, closely aligning with previous leaks. Coupled with OnePlus's exclusive tuning, the OnePlus 13 is poised to dominate the market once again in terms of performance.

This means that the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 not only significantly outperforms Apple's A18 in multi-core performance but also succeeds in surpassing it in single-core performance.

It's noteworthy that these benchmark scores are from an engineering sample of the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, and the performance of mass-produced devices is expected to further improve.

Turning to battery life, domestic smartphones have generally broken through high-silicon battery technology, with flagship models boasting capacities exceeding 6,000mAh. It is virtually certain that the OnePlus 13 will have a substantial battery and support 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. Upcoming flagship phones, with the exception of those requiring extensive camera systems that may compromise battery capacity, are expected to start with batteries of at least 6,000mAh and offer charging times of around half an hour, marking an overall upgrade in charging performance for domestic smartphones.

In terms of photography, the OnePlus 13 is also keeping pace. It is rumored to adopt a new Hasselblad Master Mode, combined with OPPO's latest flagship algorithms, to provide users with a higher-quality photography experience. The all-glass body design not only enhances the phone's aesthetics but also improves its durability.

By the way, according to the latest leaks and rumors, the new OnePlus 13 series may be unveiled in October or November. The design of this series has garnered much attention, with some users suggesting that a green vegan leather back cover version may be launched, and a self-made rendering has been shared to showcase the new color option.

According to online rumors, the OnePlus 13 will introduce a new green color option, similar to the previous OnePlus Ace 3 Pro's "Green Field" color. However, Li Jie, President of OnePlus China, has since debunked this rumor online.

Finally, a tech blogger previously claimed that the OnePlus 13 would be the most well-rounded flagship of the year, boasting top-tier specifications across its screen, battery, fast charging, camera, and other components. Due to its superior and balanced configuration, the price of the OnePlus 13 is expected to increase. The 12GB+256GB version of the OnePlus 12 retails for 4,299 yuan. Based on this, it is speculated that the starting price of the OnePlus 13 could exceed 4,299 yuan.

In conclusion, as previously reported by Mingmei Wuxian, the OnePlus 13 focuses on performance, quality, and large battery capacity. It will be among the first to adopt the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor and feature a redesigned camera module and a 2K LTPO curved display. The current specifications of the phone are as follows:

Performance: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen4 Processor

Display: BOE (BOE) X2 Dongfang Screen; 2K LTPO curved display; approximately 6.82 inches

Battery: 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging
