Just as the world steps into 2024, OnePlus is ready to steal the spotlight with its latest marve, OnePlus 13R, a device poised to shake up the smartphone game. Slated for a grand global launch on January 7, this successor to the much-loved OnePlus 12R promises to be a beast in both performance and design. If you’re in India, the excitement doesn’t stop there; the OnePlus 13R will be available exclusively on Amazon, which has already dropped tantalising teasers to fuel the hype.
Under the Hood
At its heart, the OnePlus 13R will pack the blazing-fast Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, ensuring top-tier performance for gamers, multitaskers, and tech enthusiasts alike. But it’s not just about raw power, AI-driven features like AI Notes elevate the user experience to new heights. For context, this chipset leapfrogs its predecessor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which powered the OnePlus 12R. Alongside the OnePlus 13R, its sibling, the OnePlus 13, featuring the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, will also make its global debut.
A Visual and Functional Delight
This year, OnePlus is dressing up the 13R in two captivating shades, Astral Trail and Nebula Noir, giving you style with substance. A significant upgrade comes in the form of a 6,000mAh battery, a big step up from the 5,000mAh unit in the 12R. Plus, OnePlus is introducing its Green Line Worry-Free Solution programme, offering lifetime protection against screen issues and making durability another major highlight.
Rumored Features Worth the Buzz
Speculation is rife about what the OnePlus 13R will bring to the table. Expect a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and stellar 1,264×2,780 resolution. Reports suggest it will come loaded with 12GB of RAM and run on Android 15-based OxygenOS 15.0.
Photography fans can look forward to a 50MP triple-camera system and a 16MP selfie shooter, while the 80W fast charging ensures its massive battery never slows you down. With its powerful hardware, refined design, and innovative features, the OnePlus 13R is already making waves, and it hasn’t even launched yet.
