OnePlus 13 details leaked: Redesigned camera module, powerful processor and more

After the launch of OnePlus 12, the company is expected to launch its new member, OnePlus 13 soon. Although the company hasn’t officially announced anything yet, rumors are doing the rounds on the internet. In the latest leak, a tipster shared a sketch of the cover that hints at a revised camera module. According to the post shared on Weibo, the upcoming OnePlus 13 will feature a quad-camera module. Previous leaks also suggest that the OnePlus 13 could be one of the first phones to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. The OnePlus 13 could launch in October this year, just 10 months after the release of its predecessor, the OnePlus 12.

OnePlus 13: Everything we know so far

A new design: According to a recent leak, the rumored OnePlus 13 has appeared in images that show it is wrapped in what appears to be a protective case. While the OnePlus 12 and its predecessor both featured a similar camera design, the next flagship model is expected to feature a redesigned camera island, marking a shift in the phone’s aesthetic.

This would ensure crisp graphics whether you are watching videos or playing games. Another interesting addition could be an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, which would provide faster and more secure unlocking than the optical fingerprint sensors found in most smartphones today.

Powerful processor: Rumor has it that OnePlus will push the envelope and promise improved performance with the move to 24GB of RAM, especially in areas like AI and gaming on the upcoming OnePlus 13 smartphone. Increased RAM generally improves multitasking capabilities, allowing phones to run more efficiently and deliver smoother performance, which is particularly beneficial for power users who complete intensive tasks.

Under the hood, the OnePlus 13 is also said to be one of the first phones to feature Qualcomm’s next-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipset. This chipset is said to offer significant improvements over its predecessor. If OnePlus manages to secure this chip for the OnePlus 13, it could easily become one of the most powerful devices on the market.

Improved Camera: Speculations suggest that the OnePlus 13 will feature an improved periscope camera sensor. While no further details on the camera hardware have been revealed, it is noted that the upcoming OnePlus device will use the same image processing algorithm as the rumored Oppo Find X8 series, which is expected to launch in China next month.

With the addition of this improved periscope camera, Oppo’s image processing software, and OnePlus’ partnership with Hasselblad, the OnePlus 13 is poised, at least on paper, to become one of the most competitive smartphones when it comes to photography.

Previous reports suggest that the OnePlus 13 will feature a 50-megapixel main camera with a Sony LYT-808 sensor and an f/1.6 aperture. It will also include a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom for more shooting versatility.
