The OnePlus 13 will look a lot different than its predecessor. This was hinted at a while back, and one of the best-known tipsters has just shared the details. Digital Chat Station shared an image of the device, though it’s not as revealing as we’d like.
The OnePlus 13 will look considerably different than its predecessor
If you check out the image below, you’ll see the OnePlus 13 encased in a ‘confidentiality case’. This is also a sketch of the phone, kind of, rather than an actual image. Still, it does reveal some details, and suggests a different design.
You can clearly see that the phone will feature a much different-looking camera island. All of its sensors are shown in this image, even though the bulk of the design is covered up. It looks like a horizontal camera island will be placed on the back.
3x optical zoom will be included, along with larger camera sensors
The phone will feature three cameras on the back, once again. The tipster did mention that 3x optical zoom will be at your disposal, while larger sensors are also hinted at.
What we can also see here is that the power/lock and volume up and down buttons will be placed on the right side. On the left, you’ll notice something else protruding, most likely the alert slider.
This confidentiality case suggests that the phone will less curved corners than its predecessor, but that’s not necessarily the case. This case is meant to cover up the design, so it’s possible it’s covering up more curves.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC will fuel this phone
The phone will almost certainly have a display camera hole on the front. It will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC, Qualcomm’s upcoming flagship processor. This will be one of the first phones to feature that processor.
The phone is expected to launch in China in the near future, while the global launch will follow later on. This phone is coming earlier than expected this year. The OnePlus 12 was originally launched in December. This one will likely arrive next month, in October.
