In October last year, the third-generation Snapdragon 8 flagship platform made its official debut at the 2023 Snapdragon Summit. Subsequently, flagship devices equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon 8 from various brands were successively released.
According to current leaks, the new generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series flagship platform is also expected to debut around October this year. As time progresses, news about flagship devices featuring this new platform has started to emerge.
Digital blogger @Digital Chat Station recently mentioned details about the OnePlus 13 in a recent leak.
According to the leak, the OnePlus 13 will focus on performance, texture, long battery life, and will feature a small straight screen with four curved edges.
The blogger also mentioned that the new device is "full of sincerity" and "feels like a Pro without being a Pro," hinting that the OnePlus 13 (likely without a OnePlus 13 Pro) could compete with other manufacturers' Pro flagship models.
In a previous leak, the blogger also mentioned that the OnePlus 13 will come with a new generation of silicon negative electrode batteries with a "fierce" capacity. The current screen selection is a 2K LTPO straight micro-curved screen of regular large size, with modified lens design, and will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen4 processor.
At the same time, the new phone's "triple camera with periscope lens imaging specifications have also been upgraded, and the new feature of single-point ultrasonic fingerprint requires further verification."
Additionally, a recent online leak revealed a set of alleged renders of the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13 R smartphones.
Among them, the device referred to as the OnePlus 13 features a circular rear camera module, with the entire module placed in the middle at the top of the device, which is currently a mainstream design in the market.
The device known as OnePlus 13R is equipped with a rectangular camera module, which is positioned at the top corner of the back of the device.
As a reference, the previous generation OnePlus 12 is equipped with a 6.82-inch 2K AMOLED display, supporting a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, with a peak brightness of 4500 nits and a global brightness of 1600 nits, featuring "Bright Eye Care" technology; powered by the third-generation Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, coupled with LPDDR5X + UFS 4.0; equipped with a space-grade aerospace cooling system Pro, with a VC cooling area of 9140mm² and a total cooling area of 38547mm²; front 32MP camera, rear 50MP main camera + 64MP telephoto camera + 48MP ultra-wide camera setup; built-in 5400mAh battery, supporting a long-life version of 100W Super Flash Charge and a long-life version of 50W wireless flash charge, with support for reverse wireless charging.
Based on the latest information available, the OnePlus 13 is expected to feature a brand-new design and upgrades in various aspects such as screen, performance, camera, and battery life. Interested individuals can stay tuned for more updates.
Additionally, leaks from @Digital Chat Station suggest that OnePlus is planning to release a "family bucket" of products by the end of July, including a "Snapdragon 8G3 super long-lasting new phone," a "Snapdragon 8G3 tablet," and an "OLED smart round watch."
The blogger stated that the tablet products are more performance-oriented. In the game "Genshin Impact," they can achieve point-to-point rendering at 3K resolution.
Combining past leaks, the "Snapdragon 8G3 Super Long Battery Life New Device" is expected to refer to the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro.
In terms of specifications, the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro is expected to feature a 6.78-inch 2780×1264 resolution 1.5K 8T LTPO display, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 processor.
