The OnePlus 13 has a new 6,000mAH battery, a big upgrade from the 5,400mAH battery on the OnePlus 12. The OnePlus 13 is also thinner than the OnePlus 12 thanks to its silicon carbon technology, which has more power density than the lithium polymer batteries found in most phones. The OnePlus 13 has the same charging speed as the OnePlus 12, offering 100W with a USB-C cable or 50W when using one of OnePlus’ wireless chargers.

The OnePlus 13 ships with OxygenOS 15, which OnePlus recently revealed.

The screen on the OnePlus 13 is now flat with curved edges, but it’s the same size as the OnePlus 12, offering a 6.82-inch AMOLED panel with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It has a 1440 x 3168 pixel resolution display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. The OnePlus 13 features a new ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which makes unlocking the phone easier in low light conditions or if your finger happens to be wet. The phone also has a new IP69 rating for water and dust resistance, an improvement from the IP65 rating the OnePlus 12 has.

Camera-wise, the OnePlus 13 has three 50-megapixel cameras with Hasselbald branding. The main camera has a 1/1.43-inch sensor with optical image stabilization. It also features a 1/1.95-sensor with telephoto zoom, and a 120-degree ultra-wide angle camera with macro photography capabilities. Plus, the phone has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

The OnePlus 13 will likely make its global debut early next year, possibly in January. The OnePlus 12 launched in December last year in China, and made its global debut in late January, so the OnePlus 13 could follow a similar path.
