OnePlus will hold a screen launch conference for the OnePlus 13 in collaboration with China-based BOE on Oct. 15. The event will introduce a new display that will debut on the OP13. Today, the brand released a poster to reveal what to expect from the OP13’s screen. Additionally, a tech blogger Cai Zuxuan, who is said to be a OnePlus employee, claimed that the inclusion of the advanced screen and the new chip will result in a price hike.
OnePlus 13 features DisplayMate A++ grade screen
According to the brand, the OnePlus 13’s second-generation 2K Oriental Screen, aka BOE X2 display, has achieved the world’s first DisplayMate A++ certification and set an impressive 21 display records.
According to reports, the OnePlus 13 will feature a 6.82-inch BOE X2 8T LTPO panel with a micro-quad-curved design and ultra-thin equal-sized bezels. The screen will offer a resolution of 3168 x 1440 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. It will be OnePlus’ first phone to feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint scanner. The Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which is expected to debut in January 2025, will feature the same screen. OnePlus/Oppo is expected to reveal more details about the OnePlus 13 and its screen through tomorrow’s event in China.
The other major highlight of the OnePlus 13 is that it will be one of the first phones to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. As mentioned above, the inclusion of these components suggests that it will be costlier than the OnePlus 12, which cost 4,299 Yuan for the 12GB+256GB base variant.
When a netizen asked tech blogger Cai Zuxuan about the price of the OnePlus 13, specifically if the 16GB+512GB version would cost more than 5,000 yuan, the blogger replied that since the OP13 has a top-notch chip and an ultra-level screen, the mid-configuration version (16GB+512GB) will definitely be priced over 5,200 Yuan ($735). The same variant of the OnePlus 12 was priced at 4,799 Yuan ($680) at launch. Therefore, it appears that the OnePlus 13 may cost around 500 Yuan (~$70) more than its predecessor.
In terms of other configurations, leaks suggest that the OnePlus 13 will have up to 24 GB of LPDDR5x RAM, up to 1 TB of UFS 4.0 storage, a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W magnetic wireless charging. The phone will have three rear cameras: a 50-megapixel LYT-808 main camera, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 camera, and a LYT600 3x periscope telephoto lens. For peripheral features, the phone will use single-point ultrasonic fingerprint unlocking, an IR blaster, and support IP68/69 dust and water resistance, and both the black and white versions will have frosted glass technology.
