Design & Display – Premium Looks in a Compact Frame

As shown by the OnePlus 13s, you do not need a flagship-performing phone that is bloated, either. It is 150.8 x 71.7 x 8.2 mm and only 185 g which makes it ideal to operate with only one hand. Its body is designed using aluminium-alloy CNC and covered using Crystal Shield glass hence resistant to damages as well as frustrated beauty.

There are also three colour options (Black Velvet, Green Silk and Pink Satin) with each providing a high-end, matte coating that is fingerprint resistant.
On the front, it uses the 6.32-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution (~1216 x 2640), a fluid 120 Hz refresh rate, as well as 1,600 nits peak brightness to make it suitable as an outdoor display.

Performance – Snapdragon 8 Elite at the Core

The OnePlus 13s runs under the hood on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite (3 nm), 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.0-based storage (either 256 GB or 512 GB). This chipset introduces:

45 percent increase in CPU performance
An increase of +40% in the speed of the GPU
Though 27 percent more efficient when compared to its predecessor

The Cryo-Velocity vapor chamber of 4,400 mm squared keeps the phone cool when playing games, recording video and multi-tasking.

Battery & Charging – Power That Lasts

The 5,850 mAh battery offers all-day endurance, even with heavy usage. With 80 W SUPERVOOC wired charging, you can get hours of use in just minutes.

Camera Setup – Dual 50 MP Lenses

The OnePlus 13s is straightforward and yet powerful:

Main wide 50 MP sensor
50 MP telephoto lens 2x optical zoom
The two rear cameras are colour-rich and low-light intensity.
The selfie camera of 32 MP guarantees the sharp portrait photo and trouble-free video calls on the front side.

The voice assistant of Google Gemini
Facilitating calls in real time with AI Call Assistant
Translation Soon in Real Time and Live-Camera Intelligence
3 months of subscription with 2 TB cloud storage in Google AI Pro

The Plus Key substitutes alert slider giving access to configure shortcuts to the camera, AI tools, or translations.
