The internet has been buzzing with reports surrounding the OnePlus 13, with reports suggesting it could launch earlier than expected, possibly this month. If this turns out to be true, it would break OnePlus’ usual December release schedule, marking a significant shift in its launch strategy.
While OnePLus hasn’t confirmed anything yet, leaks from sources such as Digital Chat Station, have already started hinting at some major upgrades that have fans eagerly anticipating its release.
One of the standout rumors is that the OnePlsu 13 might come with a huge 24GB of RAM, a significant jump from the 16GB seen in high-end smartphones like the Google Pixel 9 series. This bump in memory will likely enhance the smartphone’s ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, making it ideal for gaming and power-hungry apps.

What to Expect From OnePlus 13
The OnePlus 13 is said to be the first smartphone from Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset, offering a substantial performance boost over the current Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This could make the upcoming smartphone one of the most powerful smartphones out there.
The design of the OnePlus 13 might also see some changes. Leaks hint that the circular camera module seen on the OnePlus 12 will be replaced with a vertically stacked camera setup in the top-left corner of the rear panel.
The partnership with renowned camera brand Hasselblad is expected to continue, making sure that photography remains a strong feature of the device. Some suggest that the OnePlus 13 might come with advanced camera features from Oppo, which shares the same parent company, possibly including a high-quality sensor and impressive optical zoom.
As for the display, the OnePlus 13 is said to retain a 2K resolution screen, ensuring sharp visuals for media consumption and gaming. Another possible upgrade is the introduction of an ultrasonic sensor, providing faster and more secure unlocking.

OnePlus 13 Could Come With MagSafe Wireless Charging Like iPhone
The OnePlus 13 is officially on its way, set to launch in China later this month, and the excitement is palpable among tech enthusiasts. This flagship smartphone is said to bring many standout features, particularly the much-anticipated Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. Now, leaks suggest that OnePlus might be bringing magnetic wireless charging, a feature that many will recognize from Apple’s iPhone series.
OnePlus China president Louis Lee hinted on Weibo that the OnePlus 13 will introduce a "magnetic function," suggesting it could support Qi2 MagSafe charging technology. If this turns out to be true, this would put OnePlus ahead of competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Pixel 9 series, both of which have yet to incorporate this tech.
Qi2 magnetic charging, launched in 2023, has already made waves in the smartphone world, being adopted by all iPhones. As of now, the HMD Skyline is the only Android phone utilizing this technology, making OnePlus’ potential inclusion a good move in the market.
