It's official, global OnePlus 13 model is coming in January

OnePlus has just confirmed that its new flagship, the OnePlus 13, will go global in January. In other words, it’s happening next month. OnePlus still did not give us the exact launch date of the device, though.

The global OnePlus 13 model is coming in January in all three colors

It was also confirmed that the phone will arrive in all three colors that launched in China. So, it’s coming in black, white, and blue colors. Do note that the blue model has a vegan leather back, while the other two models include glass on the back.

The OnePlus 13 initially launched back on October 31, in its homeland. OnePlus is hosting these separate launch events these days, it has been that was in the last couple of years.

What’s interesting is that Samsung will likely also launch its flagships in January. That has been the case this year, at least. Chances are that OnePlus will do it first, as Samsung’s event is rumored to be on January 22. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is also taking place in January, by the way.

The global variant will likely include up to 16GB of RAM

The global OnePlus 13 model will be very similar to the Chinese one. We likely won’t get a 24GB RAM variant of the phone, and we’ll get OxygenOS instead of ColorOS, but other than that, the two phones will be the same.

A flat display sits on the front of the phone, with thin bezels, and a centered display camera hole. The design of the back is not much different than last year, but it has a bit less curves, and the camera island looks a bit different.

A 6.82-inch 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display is also included, as is the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The global variant of the phone will likely offer up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and up to 512GB or 1TB of internal storage.

A 6,000mAh battery will be included, as will 100W wired & 50W wireless charging

A 6,000mAh battery is also included in the package, while the phone supports 100W wired (capped at 80W in the US), 50W wireless, and 5W reverse wired charging. Yes, a charger is included in the package, and the same will likely be the case globally too.
