A sub-six-inch flagship, but there is high demand for 6.3″ models with a top chip. The usual options are pretty pricey, and some are difficult to find. For the first problem, OnePlus has a solution, but not for the second. With its 6.32-inch display, the OnePlus 13s is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite and is exclusively available in India.
OnePlus 13s:
The new OnePlus 13s will feature a smaller 6.32-inch 1.5K (2640x1216p) BOE X2 OLED 8T LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. OPPO Crystal Shield Glass protects the display on top. It has 4500 nits of peak brightness and 1600 nits of peak full-screen brightness, a DisplayMate A+ rating, and Dolby Vision support.
OnePlus 13s will ship with a Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. The device has 12GB/16GB RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB UFS 4.0 storage.
It comes with stereo speakers that support Dolby Atmos. On the back, the OnePlus 13T will ship with triple-rear cameras: a 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a 50MP Samsung JN5 telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom, OIS, and LED flash. The high-resolution sensor in the camera enables it to capture images at 2x zoom while maintaining excellent image quality. The same 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.5 aperture is also included.
The OnePlus 13s packs a massive 5850mAh battery with 80W fast charging. It runs on Android 15 with OxygenOS 15 on top. The connectivity option includes Dual SIM with Dual 4G LTE and VoLTE support, 5G Dual Mode (SA/NSA) support, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Wi-Fi 7, A-GPS, GLONASS, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, a USB Type-C port, and a 1216 linear speaker with Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio certification.
OnePlus has enhanced its software support policy, providing 4 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patches. While this is a step forward, it still falls short of the extended support offered by Samsung, Google, and Apple.
With the Plus Button, you can change the sound profile or enable DND mode. Mind Space lets you quickly search through and summarise everything you have saved with a button or a three-finger swipe. Additionally, the button can launch OnePlus’s new AI assistant, Plus Mind. It can, for instance, detect a calendar event on screen and add it to your calendar when requested.
