The highly anticipated OnePlus 13, expected to be the brand’s next premium smartphone, may have had its first technical specifications revealed in a post by renowned leaker Digital Chat Station. According to the leak, the device is set to boast cutting-edge features, including the long-awaited Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, exceptional water resistance, and an advanced fingerprint sensor.
At the heart of the OnePlus 13’s performance capabilities is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor. With its announcement date already set, this upcoming platform promises a significant leap in both performance and efficiency. The improvements are attributed to implementing the same architecture found in the Snapdragon X Elite for laptops.
The display is rumored to be a 2K resolution screen with a curved construction on all four sides. BOE is expected to produce the LTPO 8T panel, which offers enhanced protection against eye strain.
One of the most intriguing features is the integrated ultrasonic biometric sensor. Unlike traditional optical components, this technology provides superior security, precision, and speed for fingerprint recognition.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the OnePlus 13 is its robust construction. The device is rumored to boast IP68 and IP69 certifications, ensuring protection against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure jets. IP69 certification is particularly noteworthy, as it’s rarely seen in conventional smartphones and is typically associated with rugged, highly durable devices.
Previous rumors have suggested that the OnePlus 13 might feature a high-capacity 6,000 mAh battery. However, it’s worth noting that the device may not support wireless charging, a feature commonly found in this market segment.
The camera system is expected to comprise three 50 MP sensors: a Sony LYT808 for the primary camera and two IMX882 sensors for ultrawide and telephoto capabilities. Additionally, camera optimizations by renowned photography company Hasselblad are anticipated.
While the exact launch date for the OnePlus 13 remains unknown, industry insiders speculate that it will likely be announced in the last quarter of this year. As the release date approaches, more information is expected to surface through additional leaks.
As with all leaks and rumors, readers should approach this information cautiously until official OnePlus confirmation is provided.
