Soon after the official announcement of Qualcomm’s latest top-of-the-line smartphone chip, OnePlus unveiled its flagship OnePlus 13in China, featuring the same chip. This flagship offering has arrived in Nepal. In this brief, we'll review the key features and improvements of the OnePlus 13, its full specifications, and the official price in Nepal.

OnePlus 13 Overview

Design and Display

It appears OnePlus is returning to a simpler design with the 13th iteration of its number series. The bold camera module has been replaced with a simpler, less protruding island. However, the new smartphone looks very similar to its predecessor. One notable improvement is the inclusion of IP68 and IP69 dust- and water-resistance ratings, replacing IP65, on the 12. It’s always something that’d be skipped over in OnePlus flagships so good to finally see it now.

The screen is also less curved than before, opting for a relatively flat panel with slightly curved edges. It’s BOE’s X2 OLED with 8T LTPO tech, QHD resolution, and a peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. The size remains the same at 6.82 inches diagonal, but the smartphone itself is slightly shorter and wider than before. It now features a more secure ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen, replacing the optical one.

Performance and Memory

Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite, fabricated on TSMC’s 3nm process. It boasts new Oryon Prime and performance cores for a huge 45% boost in CPU and a 44% improvement in efficiency. Additionally, the Adreno 830 GPU delivers up to 40% better performance. With the new processor, the OnePlus 13 is sure to be a gaming beast, so the company has also included a new gaming vibration motor, which is “the biggest in any Android phone ever.”

The memory configurations are pretty similar to those before, with the base variant sporting 12GB of LPDDR5x RAM alongside 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. You can spec it up to a whopping 24GB and 1TB but there are no expansion slots or SD inserts. The OnePlus 13 boots on ColorOS 15 in China, but the global variant that will launch later will likely sport the company’s OxygenOS skin on top of Android 15.

Cameras and Battery

The rear camera setup has the same primary + ultrawide + telephoto harmony as its predecessor. All three are Hasselblad-optimized 50MP sensors housed in a circular island on the left side. The main is Sony’s LYT 808 with OIS that we recently saw in the OPPO Find X8 Pro, while the 3x periscope is the LYT 600 (also with OIS) and the ultrawide is Samsung’s JN5 sensor. On the front, the 32MP selfie camera is carried over from the OnePlus 12 and has a small 1/2.74” sensor with an aperture of f/2.4.

Following the recent trend in Chinese smartphones, the OnePlus 13 features a Silicon Carbide battery instead of the usual Lithium Polymer cells, enabling the company to fit a larger 6000 mAh cell in a similar footprint. The 13 is slightly thicker than the OnePlus 12, but the 11% increase in battery capacity is likely a worthwhile trade-off. The charging speeds don’t get any upgrade, though, sticking to 100W wired, 50W wireless, and 10W on reversed wireless mode on the OnePlus 13. And OnePlus is not bundling the charger inside the box for Nepal. Given the larger battery, it charges slightly more slowly than before, but it's still impressive, reaching 50% in 13 minutes and 100% in just 36 minutes.
