OnePlus 13 is official and one of the first Snapdragon 8 Elite phones

The OnePlus 13 has been torn apart by rumors and leaks for months, so much so that it’s almost surprising that the flagship phone has finally launched in China.

The latest OnePlus handset comes with some impressive specs that we’ve already seen and is one of the first phones to feature the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Let’s take a look at the latest OnePlus device.

OnePlus may change some configurations when the 13 makes its global debut, but these specs give us what to expect in a few months.

Design-wise, it won’t look much different from OnePlus’ previously released flagship phones. It comes in white, black or blue with a faux leather back and is quite thin at 8.5mm.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite has delivered impressive benchmarks and should make the OnePlus 13 a powerful device with interesting RAM and storage options. The phone starts at 256GB with 12GB of RAM, but comes with two different storage variants of 512GB, one with 12GB of RAM and one with 16GB. At the top end there’s a 1TB version with an unheard of 24GB of RAM.

On the front, the OnePlus 13 features a 6.82-inch 2K OLED screen that OnePlus markets as quad-curved. It has a variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz.

It looks like the phone has a redesigned cooling system with a new vapor chamber to help dissipate the heat produced by the new chipset.

The Hasselblad partnership continues with a 50MP triple camera array on Sony sensors and runs the Hasselblad Master Imaging algorithm that debuted on the Oppo Find X8. The telephoto lens has a 3x optical zoom.

The massive 6,000mAh Glacier battery debuted in July on the China-only Ace Pro 3, and OnePlus continues to add the powerful battery to its latest devices. OnePlus uses a new silicon-carbon technology that makes the battery cell smaller and thinner, so it fits in the same space as 5,000 mAh cells.

The battery is linked to the company’s fast charging, with a power of 100W wired or 50W wireless.

While we won’t see the OnePlus 13 globally in the coming months, we can speculate about its price range. The base 256GB version starts at 4,499 yuan in China (or about $632). The 512GB/12GB RAM and 512GB/16GB come in at 4899 yuan ($688) and 5299 ($744) respectively. Meanwhile, the top 1TB variant will cost 599 yuan or around $842. OnePlus will presumably adjust prices based on released regions, but this does give us an idea of how much it could cost.
