OnePlus 13 is shaping up into a power-packed flagship device which could be announced in the next few days in China. But the company could have some bad news for buyers who have been eyeing the upcoming OnePlus flagship phone. The OnePlus 13 launch price has leaked recently and signs are the brand will have to push the range a bit higher to accommodate the upgrades coming with the new device.
OnePlus 13 will be making its debut in China soon and the report claims the new phone will get a price tag of CNY 5299 (Rs 62,500 approx) for the 16GB RAM variant with 512GB storage. The OnePlus 12 variant had launched at CNY 4799 (Rs 56,600 approx) last year, which means a big price bump is quite possible with the new flagship from the brand. Going by these figures, the OnePlus 13 price in India could be well above Rs 70,000 this year.
We have heard rumours about a 24GB RAM variant expected for the OnePlus 13 which hints that the 16GB model could become the base option for buyers. If that wasn’t enough, the OnePlus 13 is going to support magnetic charging similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology that we have recently seen on a more affordable device. OnePlus confirmed the feature for its next flagship via a post on Weibo in China by its country chief Louis Lee.
The post says the OnePlus 13 will feature a magnetic function for wireless charging, which sounds a lot like the Qi2 charging with MagSafe tech. The phone could pack a large 6,000mAh battery which supports 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging. All these changes could have a big impact on the launch price of the phone, which the price leak clearly suggests but we are hoping the brand can offset the upgrades in some way.
OnePlus has not shared any official launch invite for the new phone but it is expected to come through in the next few weeks, with a global launch tipped for late this year or early 2025..
