OnePlus has officially announced the global release of its flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 13, scheduled for January 2025. This highly anticipated device will be available in the U.S. and Canada and will debut in three distinctive color options: Midnight Ocean, Black Eclipse, and Arctic Dawn.
The Midnight Ocean variant introduces micro-fiber vegan leather, combining a luxurious texture with enhanced durability against scratches and scuffs. It is also the first OnePlus phone to deliver both IP68 and IP69 ratings, underscoring its resilience in challenging environments.
At the core of the OnePlus 13 is the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, built on a 3nm process, which ensures fast and efficient performance. The phone’s 6.82-inch AMOLED display boasts a 1440 x 3168 resolution and a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 1Hz to 120Hz, optimizing both fluidity and battery efficiency. With an impressive peak brightness of 4,500 nits, the screen remains highly readable even under direct sunlight.
Photography enthusiasts can look forward to a Hasselblad-enhanced triple-camera system. This includes a 50MP Sony LYT-808 main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, and a 50MP periscope zoom lens offering 3x optical zoom. The setup promises sharp, professional-quality photos in a range of conditions.
The device’s robust 6,000mAh battery powers it, supporting 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging using OnePlus’ custom air-cooled charger.
OnePlus first unveiled the OnePlus 13 in China in October, and the company is now teasing the global launch with a video titled “The Next Chapter of OnePlus Smartphones.”
More details about its international launch are expected in the coming weeks, as it arrives alongside competitors like Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series.
