OnePlus is reportedly accelerating its launch cycles this year, and the launch of its next flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 13 seems to be happeing soon. Following closely on the heels of the company’s OxygenOS 15 launch plans, a set of OnePlus 13 renders have surfaced online.
Prominent leaker Digital Chat Station recently took to Weibo to share design renders of the upcoming device. The renders reveal subtle design changes, a trend many Chinese OEMs seem to be embracing this year.

Adding further fuel to the fire, a real-life photo has also emerged, showcasing the OnePlus 13 alongside an OPPO Find X8. This lends credence to the renders, which have since been removed from the original post.
A Refined Design
The renders suggest OnePlus has opted for a conservative design approach with the OnePlus 13. The camera arrangement is clearly reminiscent of the OnePlus 12, but with subtle changes to the flash placement and a repositioning of the Hasselblad “H” logo for greater prominence. The images also reveal a grain-like pattern on the rear glass, reminiscent of a woodgrain texture. The flat metal edges, a departure from the company’s recent curved designs, brings back memories of the OnePlus X.
OnePlus 13 Specifications (Expected)
The OnePlus 13 is rumored to feature a 6.7-inch BOE X2 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 4500 nits. It is expected to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. A significant upgrade is the inclusion of an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, replacing the optical sensor used in the OnePlus 12.

In terms of optics, the OnePlus 13 is said to boast a 50MP triple camera setup on the rear, similar to the OnePlus Open, and a 32MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. Like the Ace3 Pro, the OnePlus 13 is also expected to pack a 6,100mAh battery with support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.
The phone is reportedly set to debut in the Chinese market this month, followed by a global release early next year. With this alleged image now circulating, an official announcement from OnePlus shouldn’t be far behind.
