OnePlus had recently announced the China launch date for the OnePlus 13. The smartphone arrives on October 31 this year, coinciding with the festival of Diwali.

Speculation suggests an early 2025 release, likely following the pattern of previous launches.

Now, to add to the excitement, an unboxing video of the phone has surfaced online.

OnePlus 13 unboxing video leaked

A leaked unboxing video from a tech channel, Sparrows News, has given eager fans a sneak peek of the upcoming flagship. The device, shown off in the video, flaunts a refreshed design and is rumoured to come in three distinct colours—Obsidian Black, White Dawn, and Blue Moment.


One of the most notable design changes spotted in the video is the micro-quad-curved display, giving the front of the device a sleek and immersive look. The back sports a prominent circular camera module with three lenses and an LED flash, all framed by a metallic ring. The phone’s packaging, also seen in the video, follows the signature red box design that OnePlus has been known for. The packaging confirms that the Chinese variant will run on ColorOS, while the global and Indian variants will likely feature OxygenOS, as per OnePlus tradition.

OnePlus 13: Expected price and specs

While official pricing hasn’t been confirmed, there have been leaks around the same. A user on X, TechHome, found the OnePlus 13 listed online with a price tag of 4,699 yuan (around Rs 55,440). This marks a 400 yuan increase compared to the launch price of the OnePlus 12. Speculation suggests the final price could be lower, possibly around 4,500 yuan (approximately Rs 53,080), aligning with expectations of a slight price hike for this new flagship.

Coming to the expected specs, the OnePlus 13 could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, featuring advanced Oryon cores for enhanced performance and energy efficiency. This chip, if true, would offer smooth multitasking and an impressive gaming experience. Battery life is another area of focus, with reports hinting at a significant 6,000mAh battery upgrade, capable of lasting longer than previous models.

Another expected feature is its revamped design. The phone reportedly will come with a sleek, curved 6.82-inch 2K LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits.



In terms of camera, the phone might come equipped with three 50MP lenses for wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto shots. The phone is also expected to sport a 32MP front camera for high-quality selfies and video calls.

For gamers, the OnePlus 13 could offer more than just eye-catching hardware. It’s said to be equipped with the second-generation Tiangong cooling system, which is expected to keep the phone cool during high-intensity tasks, thanks to a vapor cooling chamber that spans 9924mm². With enhanced HDR and support for 120FPS in large open-world games, the phone is expected to deliver an excellent gaming experience.

Charging capabilities are also expected to be upgraded. The OnePlus 13 could support 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and could be powered by a 6,000mAh battery.
