OnePlus 13 Display, Other Features (Expected)

The OnePlus 13 was teased with a second-generation BOE “oriental screen” or the BOE X2, in a Weibo post by OnePlus China head Louis Lee. In the post, Lee noted that the screen’s outdoor lighting test has been completed and claims that it will outperform the existing BOE X1 screen. The image shared by the executive shows the phone’s display with the tag, “The world’s first second-generation oriental screen.”

An earlier leak suggested that the OnePlus 13 will likely feature a 6.82-inch 2K 10-bit LTPO BOE X2 micro quad curved OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone could be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC paired with up to 24GB of RAM and up to 1TB of onboard storage. It may support reverse charging, 100W wired fast charging, and could get a 6,000mAh battery.

For optics, the OnePlus 13 is expected to carry a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-808 primary sensor with an f/1.6 aperture, a 50-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto shooter with 3x optical zoom. 

The OnePlus 13 may also launch with a redesigned camera island. A leaked design of a OnePlus 13 protective case showed the arrangement of the rear camera units. However, the module shape was not suggested in this render. Another leak claimed that the phone will come with a vegan leather finish. Notably, the OnePlus 12 sports a circular rear camera island and a glass finish.
