On October 31, OnePlus, a subsidiary of OPPO, announced its new flagship smartphone, OnePlus 13. Pre-orders have already started on OPPO’s official store in China.
There are many changes to this model from the previous OnePlus 12, but the first point is that it is equipped with the “Snapdragon 8 Elite” SoC. This is an SoC that was announced only in October, and which attracts attention because it has significantly increased performance from the previous generation, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
Its performance is well above the AnTuTu benchmark score of 3 million points. According to the official source, OnePlus 13 has an AnTuTu score of 3,186,834 points.1.65 million points for the “A18 Pro” of iPhone 16 Pro Max, 2.8 million points for the latest chip of MediaTek “Dimensity 9400”With that, it has amazing processing performance.
OnePlus 13 is also known for its improved battery capacity. The previous generation had the highest capacity in OnePlus history at 5400mAh, but now it’s back with a much larger capacity of 6000mAh. Fast charging is the same as the previous model, up to 100W wired and 50W wireless.
The camera configuration is 3 lenses: 50 million pixels wide angle with OIS + 50 million pixels optical 3x periscope telephoto with OIS + 50 million pixels ultra wide angle. Tuning by Hasselblad is still alive and well. The main camera uses a Sony LYT-808 sensor, so there are no noticeable changes.
On the other hand, the 3x periscope telephoto lens has the same optical image stabilization (OIS) as the main lens, although the number of pixels has been reduced from 64 million to 50 million. The size of the sensor has also increased slightly from 1/2 to 1/1.95, making it easier to use every day.
The ultra-wide camera is slightly increased in resolution from 48 million pixels to 50 million pixels. The viewing angle is also wider, from 114 ° to 120 °.
In OnePlus 13, the waterproof and dustproof performance, which was a concern with the previous model, has been revised in detail. The 12 had IP65, which was weak compared to the competition, but the 13 has improved to IP68 and even IP69. It has the durability to withstand high pressure and high temperature water.
As for the display, the edge-to-edge display that has been a staple in the OnePlus flagship line has finally been discontinued. It has a smooth look that is typical of today’s high end products. The size is 6.82 inches, the resolution is 3168 x 1440. It also supports a variable refresh rate of 1 to 120Hz, and the maximum brightness is 4500 nits.
The prices for each line of memory and storage capacity are as follows.

- 12GB memory + 256GB capacity: 4,499 yuan (about 96,657 yen)
- 12GB memory + 512GB capacity: 4899 yuan (about 105,250 yen)
- 16GB memory + 512GB capacity: 5299 yuan (about 113,844 yen)
- 24GB memory + 1TB capacity: 5,999 yuan (about 128,883 yen)
There are three color variations: white, black and blue. The black color uses a marble pattern that follows the emerald green of the previous model. Only the blue model has a leather back panel.
Not only has processing performance improved with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, but battery capacity and water/dust resistance class have also been improved, making it an almost perfect device with excellent daily performance. However, the high cost performance that can be purchased for around 90,000 yen is very attractive. It’s a shame that it’s only available in China, so there’s little hope of it expanding to Japan.
The spec table is as follows.
