The OnePlus 13 was launched in China a month ago, and while the phone is yet to launch in the global market, there are already leaks and rumors of another upcoming flagship from the brand, the OnePlus 13R. The 13R is expected to be a rebrand of the OnePlus Ace 5, which is set to launch in China this month. Recently, we got the first look at the OnePlus Ace 5, revealing a similar design language as the more expensive OnePlus 13.
Now, the full specifications of the OnePlus 13R have leaked online, shared by 91Mobiles.
As per this leak, the OnePlus 13R is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, versus the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the OnePlus 12R. There is a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This sounds like the same display as the OnePlus 12R, but we expect some upgrades in the brightness. The battery is getting a big upgrade as the phone has a 6,000mAh battery versus a 5,500mAh battery in the 12R. The charging speed is downgraded to 80W, compared to 100W in the 12R.
Speaking of cameras, the phone has a triple camera setup on the rear. The primary rear camera is using a 50MP sensor with an f/1.8 lens. There is a second 8MP sensor with an f/2.2 lens, most likely the ultrawide camera. The third camera on the rear has a 50MP sensor and an f/2.0 lens. This is most likely a telephoto camera, which, if true, will be a surprise since it was rumored that the phone has the same 50MP + 8MP + 2MP setup as the OnePlus 12R. The selfie camera is using the same 16MP sensor, though.
The dimensions of the phone are 161.72 x 75.77 x 8.02mm, meaning the OnePlus 13R is slimmer than the OnePlus 12R and still has a bigger battery. The two color options in which it will launch are named Nebula Noir and Astral Trail.
Well, the OnePlus 13R is coming with some notable upgrades over its predecessor, including better performance, a bigger battery, and a telephoto camera on the rear. Let’s see at what price the phone is launched in the global market. The OnePlus 12R was launched at $499 / ₹39,999, so we expect the OnePlus 13R’s starting price to be somewhere around $550.
